Team unpredictable: Proteas board admires Team Pakistan

South Africa desire to host a Pakistan - Australia series on its soil.

KARACHI: Cricket South Africa has extended an offer to the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), expressing its willingness to serve as a neutral venue for a bilateral series between Pakistan and Australia, scheduled to start in August.

The PCB has been assured that the expenditure will be lower compared to the UAE. PCB Chairman Zaka Ashraf said that he would only be in a position to accept or decline the offer after deliberations with board officials. The UAE seemed an unlikely option since the weather would be too hot. Meanwhile, Ashraf has also made a proposal to the England and Wales Cricket Board seeking a triangular series next year featuring Pakistan, India and England.
