The reversing of the fixture is the first option available should Australia refuse to travel to the Asian nation amid security fears, stated the International Cricket Council (ICC) chief executive Malcolm Speed.
Speed stated: "Our current rules say the first option is to go to the visiting country and see if it can be played there. If the tournament can be run at a profit we would like it to go ahead."
Other venues put forward to the ICC as potential hosts for the series include Sharjah and Morocco as it becomes increasingly likely that the Australians will refuse to travel to Pakistan.
The respective cricket boards of Australia and Pakistan will discuss the issue over the next two weeks when the two countries meet in Australia for a three-game one-day series.
Australia could host the three-Test cricket series between itself and Pakistan if the games were to be switched from the latter country in light of its recent troubles.
