Former South Africa captain Graeme Smith has admitted that Pakistan is one of the most dangerous limited overs teams in the world.
His comments come after Pakistan agreed to tour South Africa in April for three ODIs and four T20 Internationals.
Smith, who is Cricket South Africa’s director of cricket, also thanked the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for agreeing to extend the T20 series from three matches to four.
