* Pakistan plans tight security for Indian cricket team's visit

Tight security will be in place when the Indian cricket team travel to Pakistan for an ice breaking Test match in September, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chief Lieutenant General Tauqir Zia said in Karachi on Sunday.

"We have planned special tight security during the Lahore Test in September this year," Zia told reporters, adding that he hoped the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) would be given the all- clear by the Indian government for the visit. India is scheduled to play their first Test in Pakistan for 12 years when they feature in an Asian Test Championship match from September 12-16.

When India played their last Test series in Pakistan in 1989-90, a religious party activist attacked then-Indian captain Krishnamachari Srikanth during the Karachi Test. Srikkanth though was unscathed as security personnel arrested the attacker.
