Pakistan scheduled to play only 6 Tests from Sep 2017-Sep 2018

[shabir kham]

Srilanka 2 Tests
England 2 Tests
Zimbabwe 2 Tests
So even teams like Bangladesh and Zimbabwe will be playing more than this, so where is all talk of rebuilding the team without hardly playing any cricket. Even team srilanka who is whitewashed home and away recently, will be playing lot of test matches.

PCB might invite WI, SL and Ban to Pakistan if everything goes well.

Yeah, at the moment, just 6 Tests in next 1 year is pathetic. England plays that many in 3 months.

They invite only for Lois series plus there is also Asia cup in between.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

With four of them being against low quality sides, so no proper Test cricket in this year span except for that tour of England. This has been a continuous problem with Pakistan and still they don't try to focus on Test cricket. Still, there is a possibility of 1 or 2 Tests with South Africa in South Africa, which will be a very good tour if it takes place.

No chance of Test cricket in Pakistan as of yet, only LOIs will be focused until security conditions improve significantly to allow teams to stay for longer periods in Pakistan, which will take a year or so at least.

[Major]

You guys do know that tours are schduled in between right?

We are touring south Africa in Dec 2018 according to FTP

It is definitely not scheduled in the FTP as it is not confirmed yet, but there is a chance as South Africa's Boxing Day Test and New Year's Test which were supposed to happen against India will most likely not take place due to Sri Lanka's tour of India in that period and so South Africa will definitely look for an another opponent as they don't want to let go of these highly profitable matches and as per schedule, no team is free in that period other than Pakistan or Afghanistan.

Pakistan is touring NZ starting JAN 06, 2018.

Maybe they can squeeze in a Boxing Day test but that's unlikely.

I think Afghanistan will get boxing day test

 

[BD-fan]

Last 3 years Pak played 28 tests. Averaging 9. Same as SA and NZ. WI played 27. BD played 18. Zim only 8.

On the other hand SL played 29. Ind 32, Aus 35, and Eng 37.

 

[Justcrazy]

PCB needs to make sure Pakistan plays at least 10 test matches every year

 

[MMHS]

What a wastage of 36 days - PAK could have played 36 T20 in that period; in fact 72, because I think we are not far behind when we'll see 2 T20s in a day - it's like 2 movies in 1 ticket (short but 2 exciting movies) - PCB can be pioneer of that glorious start of history.

Pakistan has played 114 T20 internationals so far,the highest by any team. They just love fun cricket,not proper cricket like test cricket.
