Pakistan to host Australia in 3 one-day cricket internationals in May and early June

ISLAMABAD (AP) — Pakistan will host Australia in a three-match one-day international series later this month, the Pakistan Cricket Board announced on Thursday.

The tour is part of Australia’s second half of a white-ball tour to Pakistan that started with a three-match T20 series in January and early February ahead of the T20 World Cup. Pakistan won that series over Australia 3-0.

Australia will arrive on May 23 and will play the first ODI in Rawalpindi on May 30. Lahore will host the remaining two games on June 2 and 4.

It will be Australia’s first bilateral ODI series in Pakistan in four years since it last played the 50-over format in 2022.

Last year, Australia played Champions Trophy games in Pakistan that included a victory over England at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore.

Australian court bans man from contacting Norwegian princess studying in Sydney

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — A 63-year-old man was banned on Wednesday from contacting Norway's Princess Ingrid Alexander or her family for two years as she studies at a university in Australia. David James Cook appeared in court where he was issued with a two-year Apprehended Violence Order that prevents him from entering the Sydney University campus, searching the 22-year-old royal online or contacting her or her family. Such orders are intended to prevent an individual from subjecting another person to acts of violence, intimidation or harassment. Cook told reporters as he left the Newtown Court House, in Sydney, that the order stemmed from a card he sent to Ingrid, who is second in line to the Norwegian throne.
