The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Saturday unveiled a six-member commentary panel for Pakistan’s home ODI tri-series against England and Sri Lanka, which gets underway today (Sunday) at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.
The white-ball series, running from October 18 to October 31, brings the three sides together in a round-robin format, with the top two teams contesting the final at Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium. The tri-series is being billed as an important stepping stone in Pakistan’s preparations for the 2027 ODI World Cup.
