World Test Championship 2021-23 : Pakistan's complete schedule for next cycle

Pakistan had a miserable run in the World Test Championship and failed to secure a spot in the top 5. Led by Babar Azam, Pakistan could only register wins in four of the 12 games and ended the competition with 43.3% points at sixth place. The Pakistan cricket team will be looking forward to an improved show in the next WTC cycle. Many feel that Pakistan can qualify for the next WTC final as their overseas tours are against weaker oppositions. They have always been very good in home conditions. Here is a look at Pakistan’s complete schedule for the 2021-23 WTC cycle.
