According to EuroSport, Zimbabwe Cricket have been in touch with their Pakistani counterparts to discuss touring the country, with proceeds of the tour to be used to assist flood-relief efforts in the country. No international side has been to Pakistan since the terrorist attack on the Sri Lankan cricket side last year, and the suggestion will no doubt lead to concerns that players' safety is properly taken into account if any tour goes ahead.

PCB chairman Ijaz Butt had stated in a TV interview earlier in the week that they had contacted several boards regarding a fund-raising tour, while PCB media manager Nadeem Sarwar confirmed that initial discussions had been held with ZC:

"They are willing to come over and play a series as they want to help us raise funds for the flood victims. They have left it up to us to give dates and schedule for the tour."

I have no problems with the reasoning behind the tour (and there's no doubt that the Pakistani floods have been getting a lot less publicity here in the UK than other recent disasters of a similar scale, so the aid is required), but I'd be a lot happier if the series was played in Zimbabwe...
