KARACHI: Pakistan likely to play a first ever proposed triangular seriesin the United States in their busy schedule.

Najam Sethi, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman has said thatbecause of prior commitments, the Board is finding it tough to line up theseries that will also feature West Indies and another Test-playing nation.

“We have a very busy schedule this year but it is important for us to fitin the proposed tri-series in the US,” he said.
