Ind vs Pak - India to host Pakistan in 2012

India will host Pakistan next year. The International Cricket Council latest Future Tours Programme (FTP) shows that the two nations could play three Tests and five one-day internationals in March and April 2012.

The cricket teams of the two nations last play each other during the World Cup semi-final in Mohali post the 2008 Mumbai attacks.

And India is designated as the host of the series, but FTP list is provisional and chances are that matches maybe played at a neutral venue.

No major international cricket side has toured Pakistan since gunmen attacked the Sri Lanka team bus in Lahore in March 2009, killing eight people and injuring seven others.

Pakistan now plays "home" games in the United Arab Emirates, England and New Zealand.

The last time Pakistan played a Test match in India was in Bangalore in December 2007. India won the series 1-0.

The World Cup semi-final apart, their last ODI on Indian soil was in November 2007 in Jaipur. Pakistan won the match but lost that series 3-2.
