These matches weren’t accepted by the International Cricket Council even though the PCB did figure out how to attract Zimbabwe to Lahore for a brief limited over series in May, 2015.

Sethi said in Lahore in the World XI side currently with five present players, the PCB would holds talks with Cricket South Africa to look at next year, sending the whole South African group for a brief bilateral series.

“Right now we are forced to play just in Lahore but obviously with time we will schedule matches at other Test places like Karachi, Faisalabad, Rawalpindi and Multan, ” he explained.

The PCB leader also promised a relaxation to the general public in time in security arrangements.
