LAHORE: After the Sri Lankan team's visit to Pakistan, the prospects of South Africa team coming to Pakistan have also brightened. According to PCB sources, South Africa has agreed to play three T20 matches in Pakistan before leaving for India.

In this regard, both the cricket boards have reached close to finalizing all matters in a few days.

South Africa have a series set against India in early April, before which they can play in Pakistan. MCC XI will be visiting Pakistan in the second week of February, followed by Bangladesh in January.

The PSL is scheduled from February 20 to March 22 and the arrival of the South African team is sure to come. PCB hopes for a visit to Ireland for Pakistan as well.
