Web Desk: A proposed tri-nation cricket series involving Pakistan, Zimbabwe and Ireland next year faces uncertainty, with changes to the planned tours under consideration, sources said.
Zimbabwe is unlikely to travel to Pakistan for the proposed series, according to the sources, raising doubts over whether the three-team event will go ahead in its planned format.
The cricket boards have yet to reach a final decision, and discussions are expected to continue before the schedule is confirmed.
Meanwhile, Ireland’s proposed visit to Pakistan could undergo significant changes.
Sources said Ireland may play only three one-day internationals during the tour instead of the previously proposed schedule of one Test and three Twenty20 internationals.
The potential change would alter the nature of Ireland’s planned Pakistan visit and could further affect arrangements for the proposed tri-series.
The proposed series between Pakistan, Zimbabwe and Ireland remains under consideration, but the final format and schedule have not yet been settled.
The three cricket boards are expected to consult each other before making a final decision on the series and the individual tours.
Until those discussions are completed, the proposed tri-nation competition and Ireland’s revised itinerary remain subject to change.
