Pakistan vs West Indies T20I Series 2025: Full Schedule, Squads, and Streaming Info

Packed T20I Calendar: Pakistan and West Indies Face Off in 2025

If you’re itching for some explosive cricket this summer, you might want to keep your eyes on the ongoing Pakistan tour of West Indies 2025 T20I series. This white-ball showdown stretches from July 31 to August 12, 2025, packing six adrenaline-pumping matches between two squads aiming to bounce back after recent let-downs. What’s a little different this time? The action isn't limited to Caribbean shores—Florida’s cricket fans also get a taste, with games split between the US and the West Indies.

The opening match unfolded at Central Broward Regional Park in Florida, where Pakistan squeezed out a win, chasing down 178/6 against the West Indies’ 164/7. But things didn’t stay one-sided; West Indies responded in style for the second game, narrowly defending 135/8 after restricting Pakistan to 133/9. That leaves the series finely poised, with matches on August 4, 8, 10, and 12 still to come.

Squads, Stars, and Stakes

Squads, Stars, and Stakes

Let’s break down the players suiting up for each side. West Indies, currently ranked 6th in T20Is, are desperate for a statement series after a brutal 5-0 hammering at the hands of Australia. They’ll lean heavily on skipper Shai Hope, both at the crease and behind the stumps, and the ever-versatile Jason Holder, who brings balance and big-hitting power. Keep an eye on Romario Shepherd, too—the man can turn a game with bat or ball.

Pakistan, sitting 8th in the T20I rankings, aren’t exactly coasting in with confidence either. Their last tour ended in a 2-1 defeat to Bangladesh, and team morale is a bit shaky. Captain Mohammad Rizwan leads a squad stacked with familiar faces: the reliable Babar Azam, vice-captain Salman Ali Agha, and speedster Shaheen Afridi, among others. Naseem Shah is another pace threat who could rattle any lineup.

Here's a quick rundown of confirmed squads:
West Indies: Shai Hope (c, wk), Jewel Andrew, Alick Athanaze, Jediah Blades, Keacy Carty, Johnson Charles, Roston Chase, Matthew Forde, Jason Holder, Akeal Hosein, Shamar Joseph, Gudakesh Motie, Sherfane Rutherford, Romario Shepherd.
Pakistan: Mohammad Rizwan (c, wk), Salman Ali Agha (vc), Shaheen Afridi, Abrar Ahmed, Hasan Ali, Faheem Ashraf, Saim Ayub, Babar Azam, Mohammad Haris (wk), Sufiyan Muqeem, Hassan Nawaz, Mohammad Nawaz, Abdullah Shafique, Naseem Shah, Hussain Talat, Fakhar Zaman.

The pressure is on; both sides see these matches as their final chance to tinker with combinations before ramping up for major international commitments later in the year. With the T20I scoreboard reset at 1-1 and several games left, it’s anyone’s series at this stage.

And cricket fans, don't shelve your excitement after August 12—the ODI leg kicks off right after, starting August 8, promising more international action in both limited overs formats. So, whatever happens in the T20Is, the rivalry is only just getting started.

  • T20I series dates: July 31, August 2, 4, 8, 10, and 12, 2025
