New Zealand confirm one-day series in Pakistan
FAISALABAD, Pakistan, Sept 10, 2003 (Reuters)
Details of New Zealand’s one-day series in Pakistan in November have been settled.
“New Zealand have confirmed the short tour after we agreed to some minor changes they had suggested in the tour itinerary,” a Pakistani cricket board spokesman told Reuters on Wednesday.
New Zealand are playing five one-dayers in lieu of the test match they pulled out of in Karachi in May last year after a bomb blast outside their hotel.
The games will be played in Lahore, Faisalabad and Rawalpindi during the November 19-30 tour.
Meanwhile, the board is continuing to try to convince South Africa to stick to the itinerary for their series comprising three tests and three one-dayers.
The South Africans, due in Pakistan on September 22, have asked for matches in Karachi and Peshawar to be shifted to “safer” venues. A team of experts from South Africa arrives in Karachi on Sunday to assess overall security.

Although i think PCB should have asked to complete the test series but something is better than nothing i guess!
