Pakistan will host England and Bangladesh at home for two and three Tests respectively before heading to South Africa for three T20Is, three ODIs and two Tests in the latter half of this year.

Pakistan is yet to win a Test series in South Africa and Australia.

On Friday, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announced that Durban, Centurion and Johannesburg will host the T20Is from December 10-14, while the ODIs will be played from December 17-22 in Paarl, Cape Town and Johannesburg.

The two Tests will be held at Centurion (December 26-30) and Cape Town (January 3-7).

In ODIs, Pakistan has won two of the last three series in 2013-2014 and 2020-21, while South Africa triumphed in 2002-2003 (4-1), 2006-2007 (3-1), 2012-2013 (3-2), and 2018-2019 (3-2).

Pakistan will head to South Africa on November 19 after playing three ODIs and three T20Is in Australia from November 4-18.

Pakistan will also host a three-nation ODI tournament involving South Africa and New Zealand, followed by the eight-team Champions Trophy next year.
