KARACHI: Upgradation work at the National Bank Stadium is expected to start this month, after a delay of more than a year. Once completed, the stadium will look similar to the one in India's Lucknow.

The brand identity for the 2027 Cricket World Cup was revealed by ICC yesterday at an event in Sandton.

I think this is something really special. Apart from the logo, I think this is going to be an incredible World Cup.

14 months to go. The schedule will be out in October.

UNCONFIRMED: Logo and first look of the 2027 Cricket World Cup may be revealed tomorrow at the destination readiness media launch event tomorrow.

Get ready! Blockbuster ODI season is coming up in lead up to the ICC Cricket World Cup 2027:

Zimbabwe v Australia | Sep 14 - Sep 20
England v Sri Lanka | Sep 22 - Sep 27
South Africa v Australia | Sep 24 - Sep 30
India v West Indies | Sep 27 - Oct 3
Pakistan v Sri Lanka v England Tri Series | Late October (schedule not out yet)
New Zealand v India | Nov 4 - Nov 10
England v Australia | Nov 13 - Nov 18
Bangladesh v South Africa | Dec 1 - Dec 7

Pakistan v Ireland v Zimbabwe Tri Series | Late Dec (schedule not out yet)
England v South Africa | Jan 10 - Jan 15
Zimbabwe v India | Jan 3 - Jan 9
New Zealand v Sri Lanka | Jan 16 - Jan 22
Sri Lanka v South Africa | March (schedule not out yet)
Afghanistan v West Indies | March (schedule not out yet)
Pakistan v England | May
Pakistan v Bangladesh | June
Asia Cup 2027 | July

More matches will be revealed for Post April once ICC reveals the FTP program for the future.

2027 Cricket World Cup could surpass the 2015 edition in emotional weight and narrative density. So many legendary careers approaching their final match, South Africa carrying its entire World Cup history at home, the older generation meeting the next one, Afghanistan now a genuine force, West Indies trying to re-emerge, Pakistan being Pakistan, and teams like Zimbabwe and the Netherlands capable of wrecking somebody’s tournament.

PAK 199/3 | Pakistan in a decent position at the end on Day 2 of the first test, thanks to Shan Masood and Imam-ul-haq's 150+ partnership.

Interesting Day 3 on the cards. Do you think Pakistan will be able to post 400?

Since the 2023 Cricket World Cup, Pakistan has won the ODI series against South Africa, Zimbabwe and Australia in their home conditions.

Also won series against Australia, Sri Lanka, and South Africa at home.

Lost to New Zealand, West Indies and Bangladesh in their home conditions. Though a low strength team fielded against Bangladesh.

Plenty more ODIs to come before the World Cup.
