Australia Women will play three ODIs and three T20Is against Pakistan in Malaysia as preparations for the ICC Women World T20 in West Indies, it was confirmed on Wednesday (September 12). The series will start in Kuala Lumpur on October 18 and will end on October 29. The series comes soon after Australia host New Zealand for three T20Is as they intensify their preparations for the all-important tournament.
The move comes after Najam Sethi, the former PCB chairman, had said that they are looking for alternative venues for Pakistan to play in. UAE has invariably served as "home" ground for Pakistan since international cricket was moved out of the territory following the militant attack on Sri Lanka's team bus on their 2009 tour. It has also hosted most of the games in the two edit of Pakistan Super League thus far. However, Sharjah's growing popularity as the first-choice destination for various new T20 leagues had left PCB with one less venue for internationals as well as the domestic league.
