ISLAMABAD – Pakistan Cricket Board chief executive Wasim Khan believes itis realistic to expect Australia and England to return to Pakistan underthe current future tours programme following the planned resumption of Testcricket in the country with Sri Lanka’s visit next month.
Khan hopes that Sri Lanka’s “hugely symbolic” return for two Tests, alongwith staging the entire Pakistan Super League in the country this season,will continue to shift the perception about Pakistan.
The PCB has recently hosted Cricket Australia CEO Kevin Roberts and hiscounterparts at the ECB, Tom Harrison, and Cricket Ireland, Warren Deutrom.
Khan said that they all left with positive impressions of the securitysituation in Pakistan, and invitations to tour have been extended to SouthAfrica, Ireland and Afghanistan, while Bangladesh are scheduled to tour inJanuary under the Future Tour Programs.
