India is ready and steady to host Pakistan for a series. India will host Pakistan for three Tests and five One-Day Internationals in March-April 2012 for the first time since 2007, according to the Future Tours Programme (FTP) of the International Cricket Council (ICC).The details of the tour are yet to be finalised as it is subject to government clearance. The tour will be preceded by India’s three-month tour to Australia, from December, during which they will play four Tests and 8-11 ODIs. Both the teams are set to fire each other’s strength out...
India is designated as the host of the series, but an ICC spokesman said that the list was provisional and indicated that the matches were likely to be played at a neutral venue.
Any series would be organised entirely by both countries’ governing bodies, he added.
No one was immediately available for comment at the Board of Control for Cricket in India.
India severed cricketing links with its neighbour after the Mumbai attacks, which killed 166 people and which New Delhi blamed on outlawed Islamist militants based across the border in Pakistan.
No major international cricket side has toured Pakistan since gunmen attacked the Sri Lanka team bus in Lahore in March 2009, killing eight people and injuring seven others.
The last time Pakistan played a Test match in India was in the southern city of Bangalore in December 2007. India won the series 1-0.
Apart from the World Cup semi-final, their the last one-day international on Indian soil was in November 2007 in Jaipur. Pakistan won the match but lost that series 3-2
