After having given due consideration to a request from Australian Cricket Board of their requirement to have a three days’ rest period between each of the three test matches to be played in October between Australia and Pakistan for our “home” series in October 2002, the PCB has slightly adjusted the schedule for these test matches accordingly.
The revised dates are given below; the venues remain unchanged.

**1st Test: Colombo 3 to 7 October 2002 ???

2nd Test: Sharjah 11 to 15 October 2002

3rd test: Sharjah 19 to 23 October 2002**

Why play one match at Colombo and the rest at Sharjah? Why not play all of em at Sharjah?

I can bet no one will showup to watch the match in SL.
But Sharjah one should be sold out on weekends.
I still think first test should have been held in Dhaka, 2nd in India and 3rd in Sharjah.
