Pakistan failed to qualify for the World Test Championship Finals in 2021 and 2023. Despite having some talented red-ball cricketers in their squad, Babar Azam and Co have finished outside the Top 2 in the two WTC cycles played so far.
Pakistan will aim to improve their performances in the 2023-25 World Test Championship cycle. Their journey to the final will be challenging because they will play a couple of strong teams away from home.
Here's a look at the complete schedule of Pakistan for the new WTC cycle.
