LAHORE: Pakistan are scheduled to tour the West Indies for a two-match Test series in July and August, as confirmed by Cricket West Indies. The series will be part of the ICC World Test Championship 2025-27 cycle.

Both matches will be held in Trinidad and Tobago. The first Test is set for July 25-29 at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy, which will host its inaugural Test match—a significant milestone for the venue. The second Test will follow at the historic Queen’s Park Oval from August 2-6.

Pakistan’s tour forms the final leg of a busy home summer for the West Indies, who will also host Sri Lanka (June 3–July 7) and New Zealand (July 11–21) across multiple formats. The Sri Lanka series includes three ODIs, three T20Is, and two Tests, while New Zealand will play a five-match ODI series.

West Indies currently sit at the bottom of the World Test Championship standings, having lost seven of their first eight matches in the current cycle. The home series against Sri Lanka and Pakistan presents an important opportunity for them to improve their campaign.
