West Indies Women will travel to Pakistan for a reciprocal tour starting November 8. The series will comprise three ODIs and all the matches will be played at Karachi's National Stadium. Javeria Khan will lead the hosts.
This comes as a shot in the arm for Pakistan, who've lost out on two big hosting opportunities recently. New Zealand's men's team pulled out of the tour in the 11th hour owing to security concerns, while England's tour of Pakistan – for both men's and women's team – was shelved after ECB said they were prioritising the mental well-being of their players.

“We are delighted to announce the West Indies women's tour to Pakistan in November. This will be a great series for the promotion, publicity and growth of women's cricket in Pakistan, besides also providing both sides excellent opportunity to prepare for the World Cup qualifier,” PCB Chairman Ramiz Raja said.
“West Indies women's tour will be followed by their men's side who will visit Pakistan for three ODIs and three T20Is in December. So, the Pakistan cricket fans can brace for some exciting and entertaining cricket in women's and men's cricket later this year.”
West Indies will arrive in Karachi on November 1. For the hosts, the national team will have a camp from October 23 to November 5 at the Hanif Mohammad High Performance Centre, Karachi before they shift to the team hotel.
