Pakistan cricket team will tour India early next year to play a full series, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president Jagmohan Dalmiya said in Kolkata on Sunday.
Dalmiya, however, said that the final itinerary was yet to be decided.
But a BCCI source said that the tour would take place in the coming March-April and include three Tests and five one-dayers.
Dalmiya, who has taken over as Asian Cricket Council (ACC) president, told newspersons that following the resumption of the Indo-Pak bilateral cricketing ties, the ACC was now chalking out a detailed programme for the development of the game in the continent.
'For sometime the ACC could not function well because of the non-existence of bilateral cricketing ties between India and Pakistan. But now that the ties have resumed, we will draw up a detailed plan for the game's development in Asia,' he said.
The matter would be discussed in the general body meeting of the ACC scheduled to be held in Colombo on August 1, Dalmiya said adding that the ICC was paying a part of the expenses incurred by the Asian body for the programme.
