England have turned down a proposal to play an extra one-day international in Karachi during their tour of Pakistan, scheduled for November and December this year, according to reports.

The Pakistan Cricket Board wanted a second ODI in Karachi because it won't be hosting a Test. Shaharyar Khan, the PCB chairman, has been in London in an attempt to convince the ECB to play extra matches in Karachi.

Abbas Zaidi, a PCB spokesman, told BBC Sport: "They have security concerns about playing in Karachi which are tangible and we can't pressurise them on this issue. What is confirmed is they will only play one match in Karachi."

The tour itinerary is due to be finalised next week with the three Tests likely to be played in Lahore, Multan and Faisalabad. The five-match one-day series is set to include two matches in Lahore and Rawalpindi plus the single game in Karachi.
