Australia Agree To Play ODI Series With Pakistan

Karachi: With Australia refusing to tour Pakistan citing security concerns, the cricket-starved nation has been forced to shift their April-May five-match One-day series to a neutral venue.

Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Ejaz Butt held talks with Cricket Australia officials in Melbourne and the decision was made.

PCB sources said Butt was invited to hold talks with CA chief executive James Sutherland.

It was agreed that the One-day series and a Twenty20 game would be played from the last week of April.

Australia has not toured Pakistan since 1998 and the two countries have not played a bilateral series since 2005.
