Govt okays Pakistan tour

THE national cricket team is now set to resume competitive action after the government this week granted them permission to travel to Pakistan where they will play limited overs series against the hosts starting next month.

Players resumed cluster training two weeks ago and this week a 25-member squad was put together in Harare as they intensified preparations for the tour which had remained hanging in the balance.

Zimbabwe Cricket yesterday announced that they had been granted permission for the tour that will see them play three one-day internationals (ODIs) as well as the same number of T-20 internationals.
