Pakistan start selling tickets
Tickets went on sale in Pakistan Saturday for next week's cricket series against Zimbabwe, days after a major militant attack put the visit -- the first by a Test playing nation in six years -- in doubt.
Zimbabwe confirmed Friday that it will go ahead with the tour, including two Twenty20 and three one-day internationals, despite an attack on a Karachi bus on Wednesday that left 45 people dead.
Cricket authorities in the African nation had released a statement on Thursday saying the tour would not go ahead due to the "security risk", but quickly apologised.
Meanwhile, Pakistan legend Javed Miandad has called on the International Cricket Council (ICC) to encourage more teams to visit his nation in order to revive international cricket at home.
Ex-Test fast bowler Sarfraz Nawaz said that Zimbabwe's decision to tour provides a big ray of hope for cricket lovers in Pakistan.
