Former Pakistan captain turner Prime Minister Imran Khan discussed about a possibility of an Australia touring their country for a bi-lateral series in near future. Cricketing nations have refrained from touring Pakistan in the recent past due to security concerns. However, recently with the onset of PSL, the country has seen international footfall and team visiting the country for bi-lateral series.

Teams like Bangladesh and Sri Lanka have toured Pakistan for bi-lateral series in the recent past. They have also given green signal to other countries to visit the nation.
