Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chief executive Wasim Khan is hopeful that South Africa will tour Pakistan in January next year.

He added that Pakistan will subsequently travel to South Africa to play the Proteas after the Pakistan Super League (PSL) in March.

Pakistan are scheduled to tour South Africa for three ODIs and three T20 Internationals in October, but it is unlikely the tour will go ahead as planned due to the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and the issues surrounding Cricket South Africa.

In the hopes of salvaging the series, Wasim is optimistic that South Africa will accept Pakistan’s new proposal.

“South Africa will tour Pakistan in January 2021 and we are hoping to reciprocate by touring South Africa for a limited overs series in March. We have informed Cricket South Africa (CSA) about our plans for the tour. Now we are waiting to see what steps they take to ensure both series take place,” Wasim was quoted as saying by Cricket Pakistan.
