For the first time in nearly nine years fans in Pakistan may have a season of cricket in their country to look forward to, after the PCB confirmed that the Punjab government had approved a T20 series with a World XI to take place in Lahore. And to the talk of Sri Lanka potentially playing a single T20 from their tour to the UAE in Lahore can be added to the possibility of a three-match T20 series against West Indies in November, also in Lahore. br T20Is br Pakistan[12] br br Sarfraz Ahmed (c, wk) br Fakhar Zaman br Ahmed Shehzad br Babar Azam br Shoaib Malik br Umar Amin br Imad Wasim br Shadab Khan br Mohammad Nawaz br Fahim Ashraf br Hasan Ali br Aamer Yamin br Mohammad Amir br Rumman Raees br Usman Khan br Sohail Khan br br br World XI[13] br Faf du Plessis (c) br Hashim Amla br Samuel Badree br George Bailey br Paul Collingwood br Ben Cutting br Grant Elliott br Tamim Iqbal br David Miller br Morné Morkel br Tim Paine (wk) br Thisara Perera br Imran Tahir br Darren Sammy br br br br br The developments, announced by the new PCB chairman Najam Sethi, in a press conference in Lahore amount to a bumper season of home cricket for a country that has seen only a short visit by Zimbabwe and the final of the Pakistan Super League, featuring a number of foreign players, since March 2009. br br The Punjab government has promised presidential-level security for the week-long tour by a World XI which will be a 15-man squad comprising players from all top Test-playing countries.
