"Zimbabwe Cricket have decided on the cancelation on the advice of the country`s sports and recreation committee who deem it would `not be safe`," reports added.

Zimbabwe were due to arrive in Pakistan on May 22 to play three one-day and two T20 matches.

Zimbabwe Cricket initially released a statement in this regard saying that a decision had been reached not to tour on the advice of the country’s supreme sports regulatory authority, the Sports and Recreation Commission (SRC).
