Pakistan are set for a return to hosting Test-playing nations after Zimbabwe confirmed a tour will take place in May.
No full Test member of the International Cricket Council has toured Pakistan since 2009, when a terrorist attack on the Sri Lanka team bus left six policemen and two civilians dead, with several players injured.
'Home' games for the 1992 World Cup winners have since been played in the United Arab Emirates, but both Afghanistan and Kenya have undertaken tours to Pakistan over the last year or so.
Zimbabwe will now be the first full Test nation to set foot in Pakistan, in a series comprising two Twenty20 internationals and three one-day internationals for late May.
In press conference statements published via their official Twitter feed, Zimbabwe cricket managing director Alistair Campbell said: "We are touring Pakistan as a measure of establishing bilateral relations between us and them. They will also come to Zimbabwe in August."
At the same press conference, Zimbabwe Cricket also confirmed a new four-year deal for Dav Whatmore, who will face the side he previously coached in Pakistan.
