Pakistan hope to play in South Africa or Australia
Tuesday, August 26th, 2008KARACHI (Reuters) - Pakistan hope to play a one-day series either in South Africa or Australia after the postponement of the Champions Trophy they were scheduled to host next month.
Shafqat Naghmi, chief operating officer of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), told Reuters on Monday the board had opened discussions with South Africa and Australia after the tournament was postponed for 13 months.
“We feel that our team is in dire need of exposure in foreign conditions and, with the postponement of the Champions Trophy, we believe we can now have an offshore series with the cooperation of other boards,” Naghmi said.
