KARACHI:
Pakistan conceded their next two cricket series will be held at neutral venues, inviting bids to host South Africa and Sri Lanka in the UAE.
Officials had been reluctant to announce their next two series from October-January, instead hoping they could convince visiting teams to tour Pakistan.
The Pakistan Cricket Board yesterday took out an advertisement in a local newspaper, inviting bids to sponsor two series, now confirmed for the UAE.
“The two series will be played in the UAE as we have started our preparations,” a PCB official confirmed.
