A Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) unforeseen drove by administrator Najam Sethi ventured out to Malaysia as of late to scope the cricket foundation in the Associate country. Potential booking clashes with rising T20 classes in the UAE has constrained the PCB to take a gander at elective alternatives in facilitating global matches as Pakistan keeps on playing the heft of their matches far from home.
Pakistan is because of host Australia and New Zealand in the not so distant future arrangement containing Tests and restricted overs matches. Cricbuzz comprehends the visits are set to be held in the UAE yet a ladies' ODI arrangement amongst Pakistan and Australia is probably going to be played in Malaysia in the not so distant future.

Malaysia's primary cricket ground is the Kinrara Oval in Kuala Lumpur, a globally perceived stadium, while a noteworthy games stadium is being produced in Johor Bahru close to the fringe of Singapore.
"We have indicated we can have worldwide matches and I think we have an exceptionally stable condition," Vallipuram said. "We have lights at Kinrara Oval, which could have a day-night Test. Malaysia is a perfect goal as we have great inns, transport, and coordination.
"Malaysia is particularly advantageous for time zones," he included. "We are just a couple of hours in front of the sub-mainland, Australia is just two-three hours (eastern time) ahead and the UK is just six-seven hours distinction."
Vallipuram said semi-standard worldwide cricket, a sort of 'Sharjah of the East', would fuel cricket advancement in the district. "Having Pakistan playing in Malaysia and major matches organized here would be a colossal lift to cricket in South-East Asia," he said. "The amusement is becoming consistently here, however, the introduction of real worldwide cricket would fuel the uptick of the game. Malaysia is a decent center point for the Asian locale."
