India will play three Tests and five ODIs in Pakistan, with the first Test scheduled to begin in Karachi on January 13. India will play the second Test at Rawalpindi's Pindi Stadium between January 21 and 25, and a one-dayer at the same venue on February 11. The tour concludes with a Twenty20 international in Karachi on February 19.
Rawalpindi was dropped from the list of host venues for the ICC Champions Trophy forsecurity concerns earlier this year. Several countries expressed concern at touring Pakistan owing to the ongoing security situation. The visiting teams stay at the Marriott Hotel, which is in Islamabad. Marriott was recently rocked by a bomb blast that killed 53 people and injured more than 250. Rawalpindi is just a few miles from the capital. So everything should return to normal before India tours there.
