Pakistan-Ireland Men's Series Postponed to 2027

Ireland's inaugural men's white-ball cricket tour of Pakistan, originally set for September-October 2025, has been postponed to 2027 by mutual agreement between the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and Cricket Ireland. The decision was made due to Pakistan's congested international schedule, which includes a white-ball series against the West Indies, a tri-nation T20 series with UAE and Afghanistan, and the Asia Cup in September 2025. The six-match men's series, comprising three One Day Internationals and three Twenty20 Internationals, was initially announced in May 2024 as part of the Future Tours Programme 2023–2027. PCB officials cited the need to better balance fixtures and prioritize T20 cricket ahead of major ICC events. Both boards are now exploring alternate dates in 2027 to reinstate the tour. The postponement highlights the ongoing challenges cricket boards face in managing player workload and scheduling.
