Australia will tour Pakistan next year for the first time since 1998 with the visitors playing three tests, three one-day internationals and a T20 match from March to April, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said on Monday.

"Australia are one of the high-performing sides and them playing in our backyard for the first time after a gap of 24 years will be a special treat for the fans." Australia will play tests in Karachi , Rawalpindi and Lahore followed by the limited over matches in Lahore between March 29 and April 5.Australia beat Pakistan 1-0 in a three-test series the last time they toured the country. Pakistan have since played their 'home' tests against Australia in the United Arab Emirates.
