The Pakistan Cricket Board has announced details of the West Indies Tour of Pakistan. This will be the first Test tour of West Indies to Pakistan in the last 19 years.

West Indies will travel to Pakistan to play their first red-ball series in 19 years, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said in a statement on Tuesday.

The visitors will arrive in Islamabad on January 6 after playing a three-day match against the Pakistan Shaheens from January 10-12 at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.

The visitors will then play two back-to-back Tests against the Green Shirts in Multan. The first Test will be played from January 17 to 21, while the second Test will be played from January 25 to 29.

Both Tests are part of the International Cricket Council (ICC) Test Championship. The last time the team played Tests in Pakistan was in November 2006 and consisted of three matches. Their last away Test series against Pakistan was in October 2016 in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

The West Indies have toured Pakistan three times since April 2018 - once for the ODI series (June 2022) and twice for the T20I series (April 2018 and December 2021).

The national team will be looking to repeat their performance in the home series against England, where they claimed a 3-0 win over the visitors in October - their first home victory in a Test series since January 2021.
