Pakistan Tri Nation Series 2024-25 : Schedule, Teams, Venue, Timings, Squad and Where to Watch

In preparation for Champions Trophy 2025, Pakistan is going to host a tri-nation series. With Pakistan, New Zealand, and South Africa participating in the series, which will be happening just before the ICC Champions Trophy, this series will give much-needed practice to all three teams. Along with the match practice, the series will help all three teams to get used to the weather and ground conditions.
The four-match series, which will happen in the round-robin format, will start on 8 February and span over a week until 14th February for finals. The venues for the tri-nation series changed at the last moment to showcase the Pakistan Cricket Board's preparation for the Champions Trophy amid criticism of the board due to the delayed construction of the stadiums. As per the latest reports, a lot of work is still pending in the renovation of the three venues for the Champions Trophy. To settle this criticism, PCB has decided to host the tournament in the venues that were reserved for the Champions Trophy.
