Harare : The Zimbabwe cricket tour to Pakistan has been cut short so that it does not coincide with the re-scheduled elections in the volatile South Asian country, local media said on Wednesday.
Zimbabwe, who are expected to arrive in Pakistan Feb 12, will now play just one four-day game before engaging Pakistan in five one-day internationals, The Herald said.
The authorities have also scrapped matches set in Hyderabad and shifted them to Karachi. Zimbabwe Cricket media and communications manager Lovemore Banda confirmed the changes.
“We are going ahead with the tour and we have removed one three-day game so that the tour does not clash with the elections in the country,” said Banda.
