Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) yesterday announced the return of international cricket to its soil, with three separate sides scheduled to visit after years of isolation over security concerns.
A World XI tour kicks off in September followed by a short visit by Sri Lanka for a Twenty20 match in October, then a Twenty20 series against the West Indies a month later. "We are getting positive signals and the doors of international cricket are opening on Pakistan," said PCB chairman Najam Sethi. The tours are seen as a big step towards Pakistan once again hosting major international outfits after militants targeted the Sri Lankan team bus in Lahore in 2009.
