The West Indies cricket team toured Pakistan in December 2021 to play three One Day International (ODI) and three Twenty20 International (T20I) matches.[1][2] The ODI series would have formed part of the inaugural 2020–23 ICC Cricket World Cup Super League.[3][4] The fixtures for the tour were confirmed in November 2021.[5][6] Prior to the tour, the West Indies women's team also toured Pakistan to play three matches.[7][8]
During the T20I series, multiple cases of COVID-19 were confirmed in the West Indies team and support staff.[9] Despite the T20I matches going ahead as planned, both cricket boards agreed to postpone the ODI series until June 2022.[10][11]
Kieron Pollard was ruled out of the tour due to an injury he suffered at the 2021 ICC Men's T20 World Cup.[12] Shai Hope and Nicholas Pooran were named as the captains of the West Indies' ODI and T20I squads respectively in Pollard's absence.[13]
Pakistan won the first T20I match by 63 runs.[14] It was their 18th win in the format in 2021, the most by any team in a single calendar year.[15] Pakistan won the second T20I by nine runs, winning the series with one match to play.[16] Pakistan also won the third T20I, by seven wickets, to win the series 3–0.[17] Pakistan's Mohammad Rizwan became the first batter to score 2,000 runs in Twenty20 cricket in a calendar year.[18]
