International cricket returns to Iqbal Stadium Faisalabad after a gap of 17 years as Pakistan takes on South Africa in a three-match ODI series starting November 4, 2025. The historic cricket ground in Punjab will host all three matches with the series concluding on November 8.

Cricket fans in Faisalabad are excited about the return of international matches to their city. However, concerns remain about the stadium’s condition despite its historic significance in Pakistan cricket.

The venue last hosted an international match in 2008 before being removed from the international circuit.
