South Africa's tour to Pakistan a massive breakthrough: Ramiz Raja
LAHORE: Former skipper Ramiz Raja has said that South Africa's decision to tour Pakistan is “a massive breakthrough” for the country's cricket.
South Africa recently confirmed that their team will tour Pakistan in January 2021 for two Tests and three T-20Is.
Karachi, Rawalpindi and Lahore are set to host South Africa between 26 January and 14 February 2021.
The series marks the first time South Africa are touring Pakistan since 2007. The Proteas are set to arrive in Pakistan on 16 January and will go into quarantine before training. They will play intra-squad games before the first Test begins in Karachi on 26 January.
The three T20Is will be played in Lahore and will be South Africa’s first-ever T20I series in Pakistan.
According to Ramiz, the confirmation of the tour had provided Pakistan Cricket Board, a great opening because since long it had been trying to persuade foreign outfits to tour the country.
He hailed the PCB for creating momentum for international cricket activities at home in recent months.
