“This tour symbolizes the deep-rooted ties and mutual respect that define the relationship between our two cricketing nations. Our avid cricket fans and the people of Pakistan will welcome the New Zealand team once again, and we hope to have yet another competitive series, which is a key part of our buildup to this year’s ICC T20 World Cup.”
