“The tour will go ahead for the first time in 24 years. This is a historic occasion and important to the sport’s global development and health,” said Cricket Australia CEO Nick Hockley.
The tour will be a big boost for Pakistan, which were hit hard when New Zealand and England abandoned recent tours due to security concerns.
Cricket-crazy Pakistan has struggled to lure foreign sides back after domestic international players were suspended following a deadly terror attack on the Sri Lanka Test team in 2009.

Pakistan was forced to play its home international matches overseas – mostly in the United Arab Emirates – until 2015, when normal service temporarily resumed.
“We are looking forward to an exciting series between two world-class teams,” Hockley said.
