Pakistan Cricket Board is contemplating an offer by the Emirates Cricket Board of playing seven T20s against Australian at UAE later in the year.
PCB are in search of a possible venue for the series, scheduled to be played in August, after the Sri Lankan Cricket Board backed out from allowing Pakistan to stage their home matches on Lankan http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Lions-c808, owing to their own commitments of hosting the inaugural
Sri Lankan Premier League.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Zimbabwe-c3045 are among potential backups, with PCB earlier ruling out UAE due to hot conditions and the period of Ramazan. However, a recent attempt from their Emirates counterpart is being considered – offering to change the itineraries to seven T20s
as oppose to the original 5ODIs and 3T20s.
"The proposal to have a series of T20 matches is viable and we are looking at it but first of all we need to have clearance from the International Cricket Council to organise such a large number of T20 internationals," the PCB chief operating officer, Subhan
Ahmed, informed.
Out of favour Men in Green veteran, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Yousuf-c77465, is still hopeful of making a return to the national team and end his career on a high.
Yousuf has not featured for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 since November 2010 but is hopeful that he can prove his fitness to the selectors and make a comeback into the longer version, and complete 100 Test matches.
"I want to complete the milestone of playing 100 Tests,” claimed Yousuf.
