Pakistan to tour South Africa for 3 ODIs and 3 T20Is in April 2021

[MenInG]

The Pakistan Cricket Board today confirmed the men’s national team will tour South Africa in April 2021 for three One-Day Internationals, which will be part of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Super League, and as many T20 Internationals.

The tour was scheduled to take place in September/October 2020, but was postponed due to the high Covid-19 cases in South Africa.

Pakistan has now agreed to fulfil its Future Tour Programme (FTP) commitment prior to visiting Zimbabwe for two Tests and three T20Is. The schedule of both the series will be announced in due course.

Teams don't even want to play a full 5 match ODI series with us that much, we really need to rise up in the rankings.

Noone wants to play 5 match ODI series with anybody nowadays. There's 2 T20 World Cups in the next 2 years so a lot of teams are sacrificing ODIs for T20s. I expect some 5 match series to come back in 2022 and 2023 before the World Cup.

It's not because nobody wants to play a 5 match series with Pakistan it's because all the series in ODI league is for 3 matches in this way at the end of league all the teams would have played similar amount of games, not like the test league in which teams will be judged upon by number of series.

ODI Super League means that 5 match ODI series are a thing of the past now

I hope SA are back to their best with players like QDk, Miller, Rabada and Nortje and maybe inclusion of de Villiers in T20s if they are considering that.

This can be a great series.

Pakistan should win the t20s atleast odis is 50/50

Glad it's just white ball cricket.

Watching Pakistan playing red ball cricket in South Africa is usually painful.

Hopefully they can arrange a Pakistan Shaheens (Pakistan A) tour at the same trip!

My bad I didn't realise or even heard of this recently, a good decision then when thinking about the upcoming T20 WC.
