Australia will play Tests in Rawalpindi (4-8 March), Karachi (12-16 March) and Lahore (21-25 March), while the three ODIs and a T20I will be played in Rawalpindi from 29 March to 5 April.

Due to limited spaces in the media working areas and also taking into consideration that a sizeable number of foreign and visiting journalists will cover the historic tour, the pecking order below will be followed (please refer to the Media Terms and Conditions for more details):

As per the PCB’s media rights protection policy, Non-Rights Holding (NRH) camerapersons will be accredited for the tournament, but only reporters will be able to access in-stadia media facilities as filming on match days is strictly prohibited unless approved by the PCB.

However, the NRH TV news channels will be allowed to film non-match day activities, including training sessions and recording of pieces to cameras.

The PCB, in its absolute discretion, may decline any request and also reserves its right to take action against any journalist found in breach of Pakistan v Australia series rights protection policy.
