Lancashire bid to host Pakistan Tests

Lancashire have confirmed they hope to stage Pakistan's 'home' Tests against Australia next summer. Discussions between the ECB, Cricket Australia and the PCB have been underway for Pakistan to 'host' Australia for two Tests and two Twenty20s in England, but venues have yet to be confirmed.

"The ECB asked us about this and we have declared our interest," Jim Cumbes, Lancashire's chief executive, told the Daily Mail. "We have a great Asian population here. We have staged a World Cup match between India and Pakistan at Old Trafford, so we know the interest Pakistan's return would create."
