The Caribbean side will play two ICC World Test Championship matches in Multan, marking their first Test visit to Pakistan in nearly two decades.
Tour Details and Key Dates
The West Indies team is set to arrive in Islamabad on January 6, 2025, and will kick off their campaign with a three-day warm-up match against Pakistan Shaheens from January 10-12 at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. Following this, they will face Pakistan in two back-to-back Test matches at the Multan Cricket Stadium.
Test Match Schedule:
- First Test: January 17-21
- Second Test: January 25-29
Both matches are part of the current ICC World Test Championship cycle, providing a significant opportunity for both teams to secure crucial points.

- T20I Series (April 2018)
- T20I Series (December 2021)
- ODI Series (June 2022)
