After much collaboration, the Pakistan Cricket Board is all set to host a cricket series between the Pakistani team and the Zimbabwe team in Pakistan. The PCB was still undergoing talks with the Zimbabwe board, as the Zimbabwe board was not keen to send their team to Pakistan. But the recent announcement has removed all suspicions and Zimbabwe is set to come to Pakistan.
The Pakistan and Zimbabwe tournament was facing cancellation after the incident of Karachi, where 45 people were massacred brutally. But after much deliberation, Zimbabwe cricket board is back on track. The series will be held in Lahore at the Gaddafi stadium and the tickets are already on sale. The people of Pakistan will be celebrating the tournament in their hometown after the shooting incident of the Sri Lankan team in 2008. This will be an exciting for Pakistan and will instill the confidence of the cricketing community back in Pakistan.
The tournament will consist of one day internationals and Twenty20 matches. The schedule has been released.
