Pakistan faced defeat in both the ODI and T20I series against West Indies, with the visitors securing a comprehensive 3-0 victory in each format, leaving Pakistan with two games left to salvage pride.
Their tour of England commences with a T20I series on May 11, followed by the ODI series starting on May 23, forming part of the ICC Women’s Championship 2022-25.
This tour marks Pakistan’s eighth and final series in the ongoing cycle.
Currently positioned fifth with 16 points in the 10-team championship, Pakistan aims to secure a direct qualification for the 2025 Women’s World Cup, alongside hosts India and the top five teams.
