On April 18, Pakistan will host New Zealand in a T20 International (T20I) series. Pakistan’s white-ball skipper, Babar Azam, was just named captain again and will guide his team into the series. Here you will find the Pakistan vs New Zealand T20 Series Schedule, Squads & Live Streaming details.
Michael Bracewell will lead New Zealand in this tour since some prominent players cannot play because of their involvement in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024.
Imad Wasim and Muhammad Amir are also making their comebacks to international cricket with this series. After initially declaring their retirements, both players have returned and are competing to be included in Pakistan’s squad for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in 2024.
This will be the third trip to Pakistan made by New Zealand in the last 17 months. They played three One-Day Internationals and two Test matches during their debut tour, which ran from December 2022 to January 2023. For a white-ball series, they returned in April 2023.

The squads for both teams have been announced. The PCB made an unexpected but wonderful announcement, reintroducing Babar Azam as captain.
