Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Shaharyar Khan has confirmed that Zimbabwe have agreed to tour Pakistan to play a short limited over 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.
As a result of the same, Pakistan had to host all its home matches in the neutral venue of United Arab Emirates.
Although the country's cricket board chairman Shaharyar said that Zimbabwe would visit Pakistan from mid-May for a one-week tour, the venues for the series haven't been announced yet, Sport24 reported.
Shaharyar added that a security team from the touring nation would visit Pakistan to assess the situation before a final itinerary is announced.
