Two-time world cup champions India will not tour neighbor Pakistan for a series in the near future on account of security concerns, said Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Shahryar Khan.

Addressing a press conference outside Gaddafi Stadium, Shahryar said that India wouldn't come to play a series in Pakistan because of their security concerns, the Express Tribune reported.

Shahryar added that it would be a big deal if they even come to Dubai to play a series against Pakistan.

Meanwhile, Zimbabwe have agreed to tour Pakistan for a five-match ODI series next month.

Zimbabwe would become the first Test-playing nation to visit Pakistan in six years, after a terrorist attack on the Sri Lankan team bus in Lahore in 2009 put the brakes on international cricket in the country.
