The last time a Test-playing nation came to play in Pakistan, a massive terror attack left several officials and fans injured. This resulted in Pakistan being boycotted by the international cricket community.

Zimbabwe are set to play two T20s and three ODIs in a mini-series under high security involving 6,000 police and constant surveillance by commandos and helicopters.

Hosting Zimbabwe will cost PCB more than $1 million, half of which is for the visitors' fees and expenses.
