To compensate the cancelled Australia tour to Pakistan in 2008, both the cricketing bodies--the PCB (Pakistan Cricket Board) and CA (Cricket Australia) have agreed that Australia will tour Pakistan twice in the next two years.
Following the cancellation of Australian tour to Pakistan because of the security reasons, the tour of Pakistan to Australia also came under question and there was a threat that PCB may not travel to Australia.
So, to compensate, it was agreed that Australia will tour Pakistan once in 2009 and then in 2010.

Pakistan Proposes New Schedule to CA
The Pakistan Cricket Board has proposed new schedule to Cricket Australia. Due to security reasons, Australia have announced cancellation of the tour few days back. The Australian cricketers are happy that they do not need to go through the stress and strain during the tour. But, ICC is clear that they wanted to proceed with the Champions Trophy scheduled in the same country later this year.
PCB has considered the international tours and presented two schedules to Australia. Though official dates are yet to be confirmed, initial proposal sent for Australia consists of two options--November this year or March next year.
All the cricket lovers wanted to see both the slides clash, but others think otherwise!

Aussies Cancel Pak Tour!
Cricket Australia (CA) and Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) have announced that Australia's tour to Pakistan in Mach-April 2008 has been cancelled. The new dates will be announced after the meeting with both the cricket board officials.
Now, it is up to PCB to manage the loss incurred due to the cancellation of this tour. They approached India for few one day matches, but BCCI did not accept the offer stating heavy cricket season.
The news is that both the board officials will meet during the next few weeks and decide on the new date. I think with the recent bomb blast in Lahore where one of the matches has been scheduled, the chances of Australia touring Pakistan during this season is not possible.
