Australia visit Pakistan next two years

Australia will visit Pakistan twice in the next two years, Cricket Australia (CA) and the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) have confirmed. The sides will contest five one-day internationals and a Twenty20 match in April and May 2009 and a three-Test series in August and September 2010. The world champions had planned to tour Pakistan in March and April this year but cancelled over security concerns. PCB chairman Nasim Ashraf said in a statement: “Although disappointed that the tour couldn’t be completed as originally scheduled, the PCB is very pleased that the Australian team will come to play in Pakistan twice, in 2009 and again in 2010. Pakistan will also tour Australia for three Tests, five one-day internationals and a Twenty20 contest in 2009-2010.
