<a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/?s=PCB" rel="nofollow">Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB)</a> might Postpone Home Series with West Indies in 2024 to avoid clash with PSL: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) were looking to postpone the series against West Indies, which is scheduled in Feb-Mar 2024 in Pakistan. 



This series is important for Pakistan because ICC T20 World Cup 2024 will be scheduled in Summer in the West Indies and the United States. The Series Between West Indies and Pakistan is clashing with the 9th edition of the <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/?s=PSL" rel="nofollow">Pakistan Super League (PSL)</a>. 



Pakistan Cricket Board are talking with Emirates Cricket Board about shifting the International League T20 (ILT20) by ten days so that PSL and ILT20 Couldn't collide.



As per ICC Future Tour Programme (FTP), Pakistan will be playing against West Indies at their home. This series includes two Test Matches and three T20I Matches in the starting month of the Year 2024.&nbsp;



Pakistan might also sacrifice this series due to a very busy schedule and player's unavailability. Pakistan Super League (PSL) Board doesn't want other series to collide with PSL 2024 so that they have to shift or reduce the number of matches.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">PCB wants to schedule series in a short window between PSL 2024 and IPL 2024:</h3>



All the Question Arises because of a very less period between PSL 2024 and IPL 2024, As PSL will be played in February and March, whereas IPL will be played in April and May, So Players will be unavailable for the Bilateral series in this Period.?



Till Now, The Pakistan Cricket Board has not said anything about rescheduling this Home series, as there are discussions going on about the home series during the month of Ramadan (March to April). But this still a problem for Pakistani Players to play Cricket while having fast as it may cause serious problems to them.?



Pakistan played a series against New Zealand during Ramadan this year, but those were T20I matches, and all were played during the night, whereas ODI matches were played after Ramadan.



Pakistan Cricket Board(PCB) is planning to add two more franchises to the PSL 2024, which may increase the playing duration by ten more days. Currently, There are six teams have been playing in PSL since 2015.

Pakistan has named the 15-member squad for the upcoming two-match Test series against West Indies. Both games will be played at Multan Cricket Stadium in Multan from 17-21 January and 25-29 January. 
Pakistan has made as many as 7 changes to their squad from the Test series against South Africa. Due to the workload management, they have rested some of the key players of the team while out-of-form players too have been dropped from the team for the two-match series. 
From the last series, Shan Masood, Saud Shakeel, Babar Azam, Kamran Ghulam, Khurram Shahzad, Mohammad Rizwan, Noman Ali, and Salman Ali Agha have been rested. Spinners Sajid Khan, Abrar Ahmed and Nouman Ali have been recalled into the team, having played a huge role in the last Test series at home. 
Saim Ayub was ruled out of the squad due to ankle injury while Abdullah Shafique has been dropped due to poor form. In his place, Imam-ul-Haq has been recalled into the side along with Mohammad Huraira, and the duo is likely to form an opening combination. 
Pakistan has given rest to pacers in Aamir Jamal, Mohammad Abbas, Mir Hamza, and Naseem Shah. Hence, Khurram Shahzad, Mohammad Ali and uncapped Kashif Ali will be forming the pace attack for the team in the series against West Indies.
Keeper-batter Haseebullah, who got injured during the South Africa series, wasn't picked due to fitness issues. In his place, uncapped Rohail Nazir has been added to the team. The Test series will also be part of the ICC World Test Championship. 
<h2>Pakistan squad for the West Indies Tests</h2>
Here's the Pakistan squad for the West Indies series 
Shan Masood (captain), Saud Shakeel (vice-captain), Abrar Ahmed, Babar Azam, Imam-ul-Haq, Kamran Ghulam, Kashif Ali, Khurram Shahzad, Mohammad Ali, Mohammad Huraira, Mohammad Rizwan (wicketkeeper/batter), Noman Ali, Rohail Nazir (wicketkeeper/batter), Sajid Khan, and Salman Ali Agha.

PAK vs WI 1st Test Dream11 Prediction, Grand League Team, Probable Playing11s and More

pak-vs-wi-1st-test-dream11-prediction-grand-league-team-probable-playing11s-and-more

PAK vs WI 1st Test: Pakistan are all set to host West Indies in a two-match Test series and the first of the two tests is going to start today at Multan Cricket Stadium. This series is also a part of the WTC cycle 2023-25. With both sides languishing near the bottom of the WTC standings, this contest may not hold significant weight in the larger tournament context but offers an opportunity for redemption and experimentation.
The upcoming two-match Test series between Pakistan and West Indies marks the final chapter for both teams in the current ICC World Test Championship (WTC) cycle. 
<h2>The WTC Struggles of Both Teams</h2>
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_677de4a3187ba.jpg" alt="">
Pakistan, currently ranked eighth in the WTC standings, has endured a topsy-tuvry campaign, winning only four out of twelve matches. Their previous series against South Africa resulted in a demoralizing whitewash, with their batting order struggling to cope with quality opposition. The Shan Masood-led side has introduced fresh faces like Muhammad Hurraira and Sajid Khan, hoping these changes will revitalize their performance.
West Indies, placed at the bottom of the table with two wins in 11 matches, faced a similar fortune. Despite a memorable victory against Australia in Brisbane earlier in the cycle, inconsistency has dumped their campaign. A 1-1 series draw against Bangladesh in their most recent outing underlined their inability to maintain momentum. However, they see this series as a chance to end the cycle on a positive note.
<h2>A Historic Return to Pakistan </h2>
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_6789cd8c74bcc.jpg" alt="">
This series marks West Indies' first Test appearance in Pakistan in over 18 years. The Multan Cricket Stadium, known for its spin-friendly conditions, will be a crucial factor. Pakistan has actively sought to create pitches favoring spin, a strategy that proved successful against England. The preparation of such surfaces in Multan involves modern techniques like the use of heaters and greenhouses to achieve desired conditions.
<h2>Battle of the Spin Attacks</h2>
Spin is expected to dominate this series, with both teams equipped with bowlers suited to the conditions. Pakistan will rely on their trio of Sajid Khan, Noman Ali, and Abrar Ahmed. West Indies, on the other hand, bring Gudakesh Motie, whose impressive bowling average poses a challenge. Motie's skill set, combined with his height, makes him a formidable weapon on slow-turning tracks.
<h2>Pakistan’s Batting Adjustments</h2>
Pakistan's batting line-up has undergone significant changes, with Abdullah Shafique's dip in form and Saim Ayub's injury opening the door for debutant Muhammad Hurraira. Saud Shakeel, a standout performer in spin-friendly environments, is expected to play a pivotal role. Despite his preference for faster pitches, Shakeel’s consistency at Multan suggests he could anchor Pakistan's innings in a potentially low-scoring series.
<h2>West Indies’ Quest for Stability</h2>
For the visitors, batting remains a concern. Kraigg Brathwaite’s leadership will be tested as the team navigates Pakistan's challenging conditions. The exclusion of vice-captain Joshua Da Silva due to poor form signals West Indies' intent to revamp their approach. A collective effort from their batting unit, rather than reliance on individual brilliance, will be key to their success.
<h2>Head-to-head Records</h2>
Pakistan and West Indies have faced each other in 54 Test matches, with Pakistan holding a slight advantage. Pakistan has emerged victorious in 21 matches, while West Indies have claimed 18 wins and 15 matches have ended in a draw. 
Notably, Pakistan has dominated this rivalry in the 21st century, winning 11 of the 17 Tests played during this period, with West Indies securing five wins. On home soil, Pakistan has been particularly strong, recording nine wins and only four losses, alongside eight draws. The two teams last met for a Test match in Pakistan in 2006, adding a historic element to their upcoming clash.

MULTAN, Pakistan (AP) — Spin-heavy Pakistan won the toss and elected to bat in the first test against the West Indies on Friday.


Lineups:

Pakistan: Shan Masood (captain), Mohammad Hurraira, Babar Azam, Kamran Ghulam, Saud Shakeel, Mohammad Rizwan, Salman Ali Agha, Noman Ali, Sajid Khan, Abrar Ahmed, Khurram Shahzad.

West Indies: Kraigg Brathwaite (captain), Mikyle Louis, Keacy Carty, Alick Athanaze, Kavem Hodge, Kevin Sinclair, Justin Greaves, Tevin Imlach, Gudakesh Motie, Jomel Warrican, Jayden Seales.


An entertaining start to the match. On a rank-turner, Pakistan lost three wickets to seamer, Jayden Seales who was just superb in his spell. He pushed hard to bowl a length spell and got three big wickets. West Indies applied spin from other end, Gudakesh Motie bowled throughout the session but he was not at his best. There is a lot of turn on this pitch and if Gudakesh Motie gets his rhythm, he could be a dangerous customer for Pakistan who after losing four wickets, got a much needed partnership in Shakeel and Rizwan. The duo did well to end the session without losing any more wickets and will hope to do the same in the final session.
The day ends with 86/4 pakistan ,with Mohammad Rizwan 18(46)* and Saud Shakeel 33(52)* on the crease.

Off-spinner Sajid Khan put Pakistan on the verge of victory against West Indies in the first Test, thanks to his exceptional performance with the ball. Khan's impressive bowling, alongside Noman Ali, left the visitors struggling at 54-5.
Pakistan spinner Sajid Khan made history on Sunday by reaching a significant milestone during the third day of the ongoing first Test against the West Indies. The right-arm spinner claimed his 50th Test wicket in the match, etching his name in the record books. He reached this landmark after dismissing West Indies captain Kraigg Brathwaite. His 50th wicket places him among the fastest bowlers from Pakistan to achieve the milestone, doing so in just his 11th Test match.
On Saturday, it took Sajid just seven balls to get his first wicket, what he later called "an offspinner's dream wicket," flighting the ball outside off stump, lulling Mikyle Louis into the drive, and sneaking through the gate to rattle the stumps. Eleven balls later, Sajid had four wickets to his name, West Indies' top order being cut to ribbons. West Indian batters simply had no answer to Sajid's guile as the bowler knocked over the first 4 batters. Apart from Louis, he also bowled a dream delivery to castle Hodge.
"As an offspinner, I have a bit of a complicated bowling style. I can't introduce too many new things to it," Sajid Khan said about his bowling.
Meanwhile, Jomel Warrican also shone with a career-best 7-32 in Pakistan's second innings.

The departure date of India for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 also has been revealed. As per the reports in Times of India, it is learned that the Rohit Sharma-led side will be travelling to Dubai on 15th February. The reports added that more clarity on the same will come in the coming days. 
<h2>India won't be playing any warmup matches ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025</h2>
Not only this, it is learned that India also won't be playing any warmup matches ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This is because all the teams will be in Pakistan, and hence, it will be difficult for the International Cricket Council (ICC) to arrange the warmup match. 
The reports added that India team management is happy with the net session ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This is because they will be playing the three-match ODI series against England, which will begin on 6th February across three venues in India. 
Apart from this, it is reported that the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 won't be having a captain photoshoot because of the different challenges along with the different arrivals of the team. This means that Rohit Sharma won't be travelling to Pakistan for this and will be staying in Dubai with the team. 
The opening ceremony of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will be held in Lahore. There were talks of having the event in Karachi but the Pakistan Cricket Board decided to host it in Lahore.

India batter Shubman Gill has started his preparations for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The premier batter has returned to nets for the white-ball practice as he was named in the Indian team for the ODI series against England and the ICC tournament. 
Shubman Gill has been under a lot of pressure for his poor outings with the bat, especially in Test cricket. With the emergence of Yashasvi Jaiswal, who delivered consistent performances, there were a lot of questions about the place of Gill, even in the ODIs. 
Several fans and experts also have backed Yashasvi Jaiswal to open the innings for India in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 along with Rohit Sharma. However, amid all this Shubman Gill is making sure that he gives his best to train for the tournament. 
With England ODIs and ICC Champions Trophy 2025 around the corner, Shubman Gill was seen batting in the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium. He was seen batting with the white-ball ahead of the tournament and the video can be seen at the end of the article. 
Shubman Gill looked in golden touch with the bat as he played a pull towards the four before blocking the balls. The batter would be eager to make a strong comeback and reply to all the criticism in style with his performances in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. 
Shubman Gill recently played the Ranji Trophy 2024-25 for Punjab. The batter was the lone warrior for his team as he hit a magnificent century and returned to form after having a poor outing in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, where he played just three games. 
Shubman Gill would want to carry on his form and help a team win. He has been one of the best batters for India in ODIs. He also has been named as the vice-captain of the team for the tournament and with added responsibility under his belt, a lot will be reliant on him.

Pakistan batter Babar Azam has been in the news for the last few days, especially with the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 around the corner. The batter's name has been discussed a lot related to making him open, especially with no clarity over Saim Ayub. 
Pakistan is the only team that has yet to announce the squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Since the last few days, he has been in the news as there have been a lot of reports that have suggested that there are chances that he might open the innings for the team. 
However, the fresh reports in Cricket Pakistan have revealed that there are no plans to make Babar Azam open the innings. The reports added that the selection committee has not given the green signal to the development as they feel that batter will be best suited in the middle order. 
<h2>Selectors want a proper opener in the role; Babar Azam to at in middle-order</h2>
The reports claimed that selectors want a proper opener in the role. One of the openers that has been finalized by the management is Fakhar Zaman. However, with Saim Ayub likely to miss out, it is learned that Imam-ul-Haq is also in contention to take the role. 
Babar Azam has been the best batter for Pakistan in ODIs. The batter has mustered truckloads of runs for the team in the format while batting at No.3 and he will be extremely crucial for his team in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, which will be played in Pakistan with India games to be played in India. 
Babar Azam also has been a decent opener as well. He has been opening for the team in T20Is and has achieved massive success as well. He also opened in Test cricket during the recent South Africa series and aced that challenge as well, slamming two half-centuries in two innings. 
But, in white-ball cricket, Babar Azam has been criticised a lot for opening in T20Is. This is because he has failed to maximise the powerplay and has been batting with a low strike rate. It remains to be seen where he will be batting for the team in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

India assistant coach Ryan Ten Doeschate has provided a massive fitness update about batter Rinku Singh ahead of the fourth IND vs ENG T20I. He mentioned that the left-hander has gained full fitness and will be playing the next match of the five-match T20I series. 
India and England are all set to lock horns with each other in the fourth match of the T20I series. The game is all set to be played at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune on Thursday (30th January). The series is currently at 2-1, with hosts in the lead. 
India has been without the services of Rinku Singh for the last two games of the IND vs ENG series. The left-hander sustained a low back spasm while fielding in the first game and was then ruled out of the next two games of the series as he was under the observation of the BCCI medical team. 
In his place, the India team added Dhruv Jurel to the XI, and the move didn't pay off. The keeper-batter batted lower down the order and struggled to get going in both games, and it potentially cost them the last match of the series. 
<h2>Rinku Singh is fit and ready to play tomorrow - Ryan Ten Doeschate</h2>
However, in what will be a massive boost, Rinku Singh has been declared fit for the next two games. The development was confirmed by assistant coach Ryan Ten Doeschate, who said that the batter hit nets and will be playing. He told reporters. 
"Rinku Singh is fit and ready to play tomorrow. He batted yesterday night" 
Rinku Singh has been India's one of the best batters in the T20Is. His absence was felt in the last two games as well, but now, with him being fit, it is expected that he would walk straight into the XI and is likely to add Dhruv Jurel to the team. 
The fourth IND vs ENG T20I will be a great opportunity for India to to seal the series, but they need to make some corrections before heading into the next IND vs ENG match. 
India faced a disappointing 26-run loss in the last match at Rajkot. Their batting was one of the main reasons behind the loss and they would be hoping to make a strong comeback.
