LAHORE: Pakistan has invited Afghanistan's national cricket team on a recognised tour for the first time, following a visit to Kabul by Prime Minister Imran Khan, one of the game's greatest players.

"We'll try to look for a possible window for this tour, and if not 2021, we’ll definitely try to plan a series in 2022 season," said Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chief executive Wasim Khan.
 

An Afghan national side toured Pakistan in May 2011, although they only played a second-string side and matches were not given first-class status.

Afghanistan is scheduled to host Pakistan for three one-day internationals in September 2021, as part of World Cup 2023 Super League, most likely to be played in the United Arab Emirates.
