Pakistan get England Test invite
Cricket-starved Pakistan has got a rare invitation from England for a Test series and negotiations are already under way, a senior official said Thursday.
Pakistan have not played any Tests this year after Australia postponed a full tour over security fears.
They had not been scheduled to visit England in the Future Test Programme (FTP) until 2011, but now have a chance in 2010.
"We are keen to play a series in England so we will be holding negotiations soon with the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) to sort out financial arrangements," the head of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Saleem Altaf said.
Pakistan are likely to play three Tests, five one-day internationals and a Twenty20 international, he added.
