LAHORE: Pakistan on Monday revised the schedule for subsequent month’s limited-overs cricket sequence towards New Zealand due to anticipated elections in Punjab province.
The sequence has been pushed again by someday and can now begin in Lahore on April 14 as an alternative of Karachi.
Two of the three venues for the sequence — Lahore and Rawalpindi — are in Punjab, the place elections are more likely to be held from April 30.
“The two boards have unanimously agreed to make tweaks to the five Twenty20 internationals and as many one-day internationals,” the Pakistan Cricket Board stated in a press launch.
The groups will now begin in Lahore, taking part in three T20s from April 14-17, earlier than travelling to Rawalpindi, which is able to host the remaining two T20s and the primary two ODIs from April 20-26.
Karachi will host the remaining 4 ODIs from April 30 to May 7.
