T20 World Cup 2026: There is less than a month left for the start of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 to be jointly hosted by India and Sri Lanka. All the teams have started their preparations for this big tournament, but Australia, a strong contender for the title, has taken a huge step and prepared a roadmap for its final preparations.

The Australian team is going to play an important T20 series against Pakistan just before the World Cup. Cricket Australia and Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) have confirmed this series. This series will be the best opportunity for the Australian team to adapt to the conditions of ‘Subcontinent’. All the matches of this series will be played at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore.

The series is important before the World Cup

This decision of Australia is very important before the World Cup 2026. Australia will play its group matches in Sri Lanka, where the pitches are as slow as Pakistan and India. By playing in Lahore, the Kangaroo team wants to test itself against spin bowlers.

Considering the pitches of India and Sri Lanka, Australia has included 4 spinners in its World Cup squad, which is a big change in their strategy. Many players of the team are struggling with fitness, so the Pakistan series will be the last chance for them to prove their ‘match fitness’.
