Shaharyar Khan, chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board, says Zimbabwe is willing to tour Pakistan for five one-day international matches and he hopes the tour will go ahead next month. Khan will meet with officials of the Zimbabwe Cricket Union on the sidelines of an ICC meeting in Dubai next week and says, 'I hope you will receive good news very soon.'

No test playing nation has toured Pakistan due to security concerns since gunmen attacked the bus carrying Sri Lankan cricketers as they travelled to Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore in March 2009 for the third day of the second Test. Six local policemen and two civilians were killed in the attack by 12 gunmen, while seven players were injured, and Pakistan has been forced to play away games elsewhere - namely the United Arab Emirates - ever since. Khan says Lahore would host three one-day internationals against Zimbabwe while the remaining two ODIs would be played in Karachi.
