Pakistan suspend Zim tour
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and Zimbabwe Cricket (ZC) have mutually decided to defer Pakistan’s tour to Zimbabwe, scheduled for August this year, for an indefinite period.
"Zimbabwe have now involved the West Indies to hold a triangular series, in place of the bilateral series, which does not suit Pakistan in the wake of qualifying for the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy," a PCB official told Dawn on the condition of anonymity.
"The decision to include the third team was clearly clashing with our interests. Therefore, we proposed Zimbabwe a T20 triangular tournament but it was not accepted. So, both cricket boards have decided to postpone the triangular event and any bilateral series for the next year," he added.
"Deciding fresh dates for the tour to Zimbabwe is not possible this year,” the official said.
