The PCB has confirmed via a media release that Pakistan will host West Indies for a three-match ODI series at the Rawalpindi Stadium on June 8, 10 and 12. All three matches, which are part of the 2023 World Cup Super League, were initially scheduled for last December before it was postponed.

Jonny Bairstow, who remained unbeaten on 109 at stumps on Day 1 of the first Test match between West Indies and England, spent around five hours at the crease on the opening day of the series. Bairstow, after the close of play, stated that he has always been ‘passionate about playing Test cricket’.
