Pakistan's cricket-starved side finally got some good news on Saturday when organizers confirmed a four nation Twenty20 tournament to be played in Canada next month. Schedule
The tournament scheduled to run from October 10-13, will feature Sri lanka, Zimbabwe and host Canada, giving Pakistan desperately needed matches after the eight-nation Champions Trophy was postponed over security fears.
"We have confirmation for the tournament to be played at Maple Leaf ground, Toronto," Nauman Nabi, chairman of the event's organisers Sports International Marketing said on Saturday. Pakistan had no immediate matches after the postponement of the Mini World - scheduled between September 12-28 -- and after efforts to arrange replacement fixtures failed. The tournament in Canada was originally scheduled for August, but was put off because a West Indies team was not available. The Carribbean side will also miss out this time after hey demanded a two-week delay in the event, which Nabi said was not possible.
The PCB has said BCCI's objection to the October 2009 date of Champions Trophy was understandable as India will have to honour international commitments. India had objected to the proposed CT date as they are hosting Australia for a seven match One-day series at that time.
