Pakistan will visit again in May for a two-Test series, which will count towards the World Test Championship (WTC). New Zealand will come in April and May for a full white-ball tour comprising three ODIs and three T20Is.
Australia will arrive in June, and India in August and September. Like New Zealand, they will play three ODIs and three T20Is. The season will conclude in October-November with a two-Test series against West Indies as part of the WTC.
