Pakistan gears up for first T20 international against New Zealand in Auckland.

Pakistan is set to kick off its five-match T20 international series against New Zealand in Auckland on Friday, with the match scheduled to commence at 11:10 am Pakistan Standard Time. In a parallel development, New Zealand Cricket (NZC) has enlisted former all-rounder Andre Adams as the bowling coach for the men’s national side during this T20I series against Pakistan. Adams, who had a distinguished international career, will join head coach Gary Stead’s coaching staff alongside former New Zealand wicketkeeper-batter Luke Ronchi, who will serve as the batting coach. Adams, with his extensive experience, is expected to bring valuable insights to the team. The series begins on January 12 in Auckland, followed by matches in Hamilton, Dunedin, and Christchurch. The coaching adjustments aim to enhance the team’s performance in the upcoming matches.
