Pakistan vs Australia Test Series 2022: Full schedule, squads, match timings, telecast and live streaming details

Pakistan and Australia will lock horns in the first game of a three-match Test series at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium in Rawalpindi on Friday, March 4. The National Stadium in Karachi and the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore will host the two other Tests.

This is Australia's first tour of Pakistan since 1998. International cricket is beginning to return to the county after a terrorist attack on the Sri Lankan team bus in 2009. However, New Zealand and England recently pulled out of Pakistan tours, citing security concerns.

Pakistan are coming this series after beating Bangladesh in three T20Is and two Tests. Meanwhile, Australia have arrived in Pakistan after defeating Sri Lanka 4-1 in a T20I series, and a 4-0 Ashes win Down Under against England.
