A three-member Board of Control for Cricket in India delegation will arrive in Lahore on Monday to finalise venues and review security arrangements for the historic series between the two sub-continent rivals next month, the Pakistan Cricket Board said on Friday.
PCB spokesman Sami Ul Hassan said in Islamabad the delegation will be in the country for a week and visit all likely venues to scrutinize security arrangements.
Hassan said the delegation is scheduled to visit six venues -- Lahore, Karachi, Peshawar, Multan, Faisalabad and Rawalpindi short-listed by the PCB to host the three Tests and five One-Day Internationals.
The BCCI team is traveling to Pakistan following the Indian cricketers' apprehensions about security in Pakistan.
Last week, PCB chief Shaharyar Khan had said the schedule is almost finalised and would be made public after the BCCI team gives its approval to the venues and security arrangements.
He said as per the tentatively agreed schedule, the Indian team will arrive on March 4, with the first Test beginning on March 11 after a one-day warm-up match in between.
The PCB has proposed hosting the matches in all its six cricket centres but two teams, South Africa and New Zealand, which toured Pakistan recently had avoided Karachi and Peshawar due to security concerns.
The PCB chief himself is touring the venues ahead of the arrival of the BCCI team.
