Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Najam Sethi said that he would announce the names of the players in the World eleven side, that will tour Pakistan, in the next couple of days. "I am telling you the World eleven will come to Pakistan. Notable players are from all member countries of the ICC will be in the World eleven," Sethi said in Lahore yesterday.

"Once the World eleven comes to Lahore the Sri Lankan team will also come and it will open the doors for more teams to come to Pakistan," he added. Media reports have said that ex-Zimbabwean Test player Andy Flower has nearly completed his negotiations with some leading players for the World eleven tour to Lahore including Hashim Amla and Imran Tahir. "We will announce the names of the players in the World eleven side in the next two to three days," the PCB chief said. Since taking over as chairman this month, Sethi wants to see the return of international cricket to Pakistan.
