Pakistan in 'serious discussions' about hosting England for tour in 2021

    Pakistan will no longer look for neutral venues to stage home international matches and are in "serious discussions" to host England in 2021.

    "The onus will be on the other teams to tell us why they can't play in Pakistan," Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Ehsan Mani told the Associated Press on Tuesday.

    "Our default position will remain that Pakistan is safe. We play cricket in Pakistan (and if) you want to play against Pakistan you have to come to Pakistan."
