Ehsan Mani speaking to the media:
"We are talking about a short visit, not by their main team as they will be in Sri Lanka; But, its important from the country's perspective - like the MCC team visited Pakistan is that we get another visit; We have 2 important tours coming up in 2021 and 2022 with Australia first and then England; So the messages that go through these sort of short tours is very very powerful"
"We are very grateful to Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and now Zimbabwe for sending their full teams; There cannot be a more powerful message that tours from each one of these countries has sent which is that they are comfortable with the security arrangements; they are very comfortable with how we are handling the bio-security arrangements; And obviously, for Pakistan's point of view its important that cricket is taking part in Pakistan"
"There is a problem for people travelling during the Covid-19 period as any England players when returning home would need to go into self-isolation for 2 weeks; But I am very hopeful that if the English side comes we will get some of their top officials come to Pakistan as well; They've been there before - Tom Harrison the Chief Executive ofthe ECB has been to Pakistan before, as had the previous Chief Executive of Australia Kevin Roberts, so we look forward to welcoming board officials as soon as travel permits"

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Ehsan Mani has said that the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) will send a second-string side for tour of Pakistan in January next year.
While talking during a press conference in Rawalpindi, Mani stated that England’s main team will be on Sri Lanka’s tour during their visit of Pakistan.
“Main team of England will be in Sri Lanka but they'll be touring Pakistan for T20Is at the same time to send worldwide message that Pakistan is safe country to play cricket. Top officials of England will be coming to Pakistan during tour,” said Mani.
England are considering touring Pakistan for a three-match Twenty20 International (T20I) series in January 2021, according to The Times.
England have not toured Pakistan since 2005 amid security concerns, especially due to the 2009 terrorist attack on Sri Lankan team in Lahore.
Pakistan were one of four teams that went over to the United Kingdom (UK) this year, amid Covid-19 pandemic, which played a major role in keeping financial losses at a manageable level for the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB).
The ECB has already confirmed that that have received a formal invitation from the PCB regarding the tour.
