Pakistan cricket team is planning to tour the United States of America (USA) later this year. The decision was made during a meeting of Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and United States of America Cricket Association (USACA) officials in Dubai.

A spokesman for the PCB said Thursday the USACA delegation was led by its chief executive officer Donald Lockerbie while PCB chief Ijaz Butt and chief operating officer Wasim Bari represented Pakistan. “The dates and types of matches to be played for the series has not yet been agreed.

But assurances were made by both parties that a long term agreement to play in the USA will begin with a series later in 2010,” added the spokesman. It is pertinent to mention that the USACA has even offered to organise Pakistan-India cricket series to ease out tensions between the two countries and serve the interest of cricket in sub-continent.
