India's current tour of Pakistan, their first for 15 years, has been a huge financial success despite poor attendances for the Test matches.

The Pakistan Cricket Board has earned more than 11.5 million pounds from the tour.

The two boards will now consider plans for a one-day series later this year with three games in each country, and a tour to India by Pakistan in 2005.

PCB chief executive Rameez Raja said the main obstacle to the six-match 'Friendship' series was finding time to fit it into a busy international schedule.

Both sides are due to take part in a triangular tournament, also involving Australia, in Holland in August, which will act as a warm-up for the ICC Champions Trophy.
