The UAE is set to host four one day internationals and two Twenty20 games between Pakistan and New Zealand next month, it was reported on Monday.

Ijaz Butt, the Pakistan board chairman, has reportedly finalised a deal on a neutral venue option for the limited-overs leg of the series which will be followed by Tests in New Zealand in November.

The schedule will be confirmed once New Zealand Cricket approve the plans, cricket website CricInfo reported on Monday.

“We have held successful discussions with the UAE officials and have planned four one-day matches in Abu Dhabi and two Twenty20 matches in Dubai,” Butt is quoted as saying.

Abu Dhabi will host the one-dayers and Dubai will host the Twenty20s.

All tours to Pakistan were put on hold following security concerns in the country.

Pakistan also hosted Australia for five ODIs and Twenty20 in the UAE in May this year.
