After the Mumbai incidents the pause in Pakistan's cricket increased. PCB finally negotiated with Sri Lankan Cricket Board to Play cricket in Pakistan. Sri Lankan president cleared that Sri Lankan cricket team will tour Pakistan. I think not only the cricket fans but also the whole nation should be thankfull to the Sri Lankan President and must wellcome the guest team warmly. "I hope more and more people come to watch Sri Lanka play in Pakistan because we want to prove to the world that Pakistan is safe and secure for cricket," Though a succession of reports in recent days had cast doubts on the tour, the PCB had privately remained confident it would go ahead. Board officials were due to meet their Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) counterparts in Kuala Lumpur for an Asian Cricket Council moot and it is believed details will be finalised there on Saturday. India had originally been scheduled to tour Pakistan early next year but called off the visit after last month's terror attacks in Mumbai. Sri Lanka are scheduled to play three Tests and five ODIs, instead of three ODIs and a Twenty20 international as had been proposed by Pakistan originally. Though the itinerary is yet to be finalised the Tests are likely to be played in Lahore, Multan and Karachi, while the ODIs will be shared by Karachi, Lahore and possibly Faisalabad.
