Pak tour of India from 21 January

The proposed tour of India by Pakistan after 12 years is likely to start from January 21 and will continue up to March 15, a source close to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) said yesterday.
The block timing of the seven-week long tour was decided last week in a meeting of the presidents of the Pakistan and the India board -- Khaled Mahmood and Raj Singh Dungarpur -- who are now in Dhaka to witness the Wills International Cup.
Pakistan, who last toured India in 1986-87, will play three Tests and as many One-Day Internationals against their arch rivals. The last Test match between the two perennial foes was played when India toured Pakistan in 1989-90 under the captaincy of Kris Srikanth.
Calcutta, Madras and Bangalore have been primarily earmarked as Test venues while the limited-over matches are likely to be played at Chandrigarh's Mohali, Cuttack and Kanpur.
