Toronto, May 10 (bdnews24.com) - Canada have offered to tour Pakistan more than three years after international cricket was halted in the troubled country. The Pakistan Cricket Board, who haven't seen a home Test, ODI or T20I since March 2009, when terrorists attacked the touring Sri Lankans' team bus and left several players injured and civilians dead, looked forward to welcoming Canada, reports CRICKET365.com.
"PCB has thanked Cricket Canada for their interest in sending their national team to Pakistan. PCB believes in strengthening the relationship further between the two boards," read a statement from the PCB.
Efforts to resume international competition in Pakistan were marred last month when Bangladesh postponed an agreed tour over security fears.
Canada is an associate member of the International Cricket Council, not a full Test-playing nation, but took part in the 2011 World Cup and lost to Pakistan in the group stage.
