According to the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), the national squad will arrive in Dubai in four separate groups and will gather at the ICC Academy, where training officially begins on August 21. The camp will run until August 27, before the players shift focus to the tri-series leading into the Asia Cup.

Pakistan’s first assignment will be the Tri‑Nation Series featuring Afghanistan and the UAE, from August 29 to September 7. All matches will be played under lights at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium, with Pakistan opening their campaign against Afghanistan at 8:00 p.m. (PST) to mimic Asia Cup conditions as close as possible.

Each side will play the others twice, with the top two progressing to the final on September 7.

The Asia Cup follows immediately, starting September 9, with Afghanistan taking on Hong Kong in the curtain‑raiser. Pakistan have been drawn in Group A alongside India, the UAE, and Oman—setting the stage for a blockbuster clash with their arch‑rivals on September 14.

Pakistan’s group fixtures also include Oman on September 12 and hosts UAE on September 17.

With a demanding schedule ahead, all eyes will be on how the Men in Green shape up in Dubai as they look to fine‑tune combinations before the Asia Cup showdown against Asia’s powerhouses.
