KARACHI: Pakistan yesterday confirmed they would make a short tour of South Africa later this month, playing three one-dayers and two Twenty20 matches.
“The series was arranged following the shortened tour by India to South Africa,” the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said in a statement.
The Pakistan team is expected to arrive in South Africa on November 18 and open the tour with the Twenty20 matches, in Johannesburg on November 20 and in Cape Town on November 22.
The one-day matches will be played in Cape Town (Nov 24), Port Elizabeth (Nov 27) and Centurion (Nov 30).
Meanwhile, Pakistan recalled veteran allrounders Abdul Razzaq and Shoaib Malik yesterday for the team’s two Twenty20 internationals against South Africa in Dubai next week.
Razzaq, 33, made a comeback exactly after a year, having last played in the Twenty20 World Cup in Sri Lanka.
Former captain Malik, 31, returns to the national team since being dropped after the Champions Trophy in England this year.
Dubai hosts the Twenty20 matches on November 13 and 15.
