Initially, Afghanistan was part of the tri-series lineup. However, under India’s influence, the Afghanistan Cricket Board withdrew, citing political tensions as the reason.
Following Afghanistan’s withdrawal, the PCB contacted Zimbabwe and invited them to take part in the series.
The Zimbabwe Cricket Board accepted the invitation without hesitation and finalized all arrangements for the Pakistan tour within a very short time.
