Details of New Zealand's one-day series in Pakistan in November have been settled.

"New Zealand have confirmed the short tour after we agreed to some minor changes they had suggested in the tour itinerary," a Pakistani cricket board spokesman said on Wednesday.

New Zealand are playing five one-dayers in lieu of the Test match they pulled out of in Karachi in May last year after a bomb blast outside their hotel.

The games will be played in Lahore, Faisalabad and Rawalpindi during the November 19-30 tour.

Meanwhile, the Board is continuing to try to convince South Africa to stick to the itinerary for their series comprising three Tests and three one-dayers.

The South Africans, due in Pakistan on September 22, have asked for matches in Karachi and Peshawar to be shifted to "safer" venues. A team of experts from South Africa arrives in Karachi on Sunday to assess overall security.
