Pakistan is all set to encounter yet another home series against West Indies on home soil.

Both teams are going to play a three-ODI series, which was initially scheduled to be held in Lahore. However, due to political instability in the country, the matches have instead been shifted to Multan.

The three ODIs, which will be played on June 8, 10, and 12, are part of ICC's Men's Cricket World Cup Super League and will be played at Multan Cricket Stadium.

Match Timings:

To combat harsh and hot weather conditions, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has decided to delay the matches and start them at 4 pm instead.

Training Camp Schedule:

The training camp for the series is set to be held in Lahore from June 1 to June 4 whereas the entire Pakistan squad will reach Multan on the following day.
