PCB offers to omit Karachi

The Pakistan Cricket Board has offered to omit Karachi from South Africa's match schedule in a bid to convince the latter nation to resurrect its tour of the country.

Citing security fears, the United Cricket Board of South Africa pulled out of the scheduled tour of Pakistan at weekend following a bomb blast in Karachi.
The Pakistan Cricket Board earlier this month denied a UCB request to switch matches from Karachi and Peshawar.
"The revised itinerary does not include Karachi and has Peshawar/Rawalpindi as the second Test match venue," said PCB spokesman Samiul Hasan.
South Africa offered to host the series, play at a neutral venue or postpone to a later date.
