via sport.guardian.co.uk

England’s cricketers will press ahead with their tour of Pakistan later this month despite the earthquake that killed 30,000 people in the country last Saturday. The PCB and ECB are also discussing ways in which the tour can contribute to the relief effort which is already underway. England are scheduled to play three Tests and five one-day internationals before Christmas, with the tour stopping off at Rawalpindi, Lahore, Multan, Faisalabad and Karachi.
