David Richardson, the International Cricket Council (ICC) Chief Executive says that if the security system in Pakistan remains well then the country would surely host ICC events in future.

"The World XI's tour has marked the start of the revival of international cricket in Pakistan. The World XI playing in Pakistan will send a positive message to the world that it is a safe country to play in," the Dawn quoted Richardson as saying.

"It's very heartening to see international cricket in Pakistan. The people here love cricket," the  57-year-old said.

"We are focusing on having a team from an ICC member state play in Pakistan. The PCB has been trying to have a series with India and it has taken up this issue with the ICC. We don't want ICC members resorting to taking legal action against each other," Richardson said.

A three-match T20 series against World XI is currently hosted by Pakistan. Currently, the three-T20 series is level at 1-1. 

Pakistan won the series opener against World XI by 20 runs while Faf du Plessis-led World XI won the second match by seven wickets. The final game set to take place in Lahore on Friday.

Except for Zimbabwe in 2015, no international team has toured Pakistan after a Sri Lankan cricket team bus came under a terrorist attack in Lahore in 2009.
