The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has announced a revised Future Tours Programme (FTP) for 2023-2025. The most notable change is that Pakistan will play 10 additional T20Is against New Zealand next year. These matches will be played in January 2024, ahead of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup, which will be held in the West Indies and the United States in June 2024.

The PCB has also made changes to the dates of two other series. The two ICC World Test Championship matches against the West Indies, which were originally scheduled to be played in Pakistan in February 2024, will now be played in January 2025.
