Get ready cricket fans, something big is coming to Lahore. The Pakistan women’s national team is set to take on South Africa in a three-match ODI series at Gaddafi Stadium from September 16 to 22, 2025.
This home series is not just for show. This series will help Pakistan gear up before flying out for the 2025 Women’s ODI World Cup, set to begin in India and Sri Lanka on September 30.
Busy Schedule Ahead for Pakistan Women’s Team
While there is no more cricket scheduled for the rest of 2025, except a short T20I tour to Ireland from August 6 to 10, things will pick up in 2026.
In February and March, Pakistan will travel to South Africa for another series—three ODIs and three T20Is. Then in April and May, they will return home to host Zimbabwe for three ODIs and three T20Is.
2026 is going to be a packed year for Pakistan’s women’s cricket team. First, they will head to Ireland around May or June for a tri-series featuring the West Indies.
Right after that, they will head straight to England for the T20 World Cup, starting June 12.

Development of Future Cricket Stars
For the younger players, a Women’s Under-19 T20 tournament will run from September 15 to October 6, 2025 in Karachi. Top performers from this tournament will be selected for a three-week skills development camp.
This will help prepare the Under-19 team for their December 2025 tour of Bangladesh, where they will play five T20 matches.
New Departmental Tournament for Women
The Pakistan Cricket Board is reportedly considering the launch of a new departmental cricket tournament for women. If it gets the green light, it will become part of the domestic schedule — a move that could open more doors for female players to showcase their skills and grow within the sport.
PCB’s Head of Women’s Cricket, Rafia Haider, said this move is aimed at boosting women’s cricket in Pakistan and giving players more chances to perform.
