ICC World Test Championship: Pakistan will host South Africa in two Tests, to be played in October, marking the start of their World Test Championship (WTC) cycle. The two-Test series in Pakistan will mark the Proteas’ first red-ball tour of the country in nearly four years.

The opening Test between Pakistan and South Africa, the current WTC mace holders, will be staged at Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium from October 12-16, the first five-day fixture to be played at the venue since its renovation ahead of the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy.

The second Test is scheduled to be played at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium from October 20 to 24.
