Wow, wow! This is big news. Pakistan will play against Australia AND India. What a great series. This is the next big series I can look forward to. Off course there is minor series against England in between.

PAKISTAN, India and Australia have agreed in principle to play a triangular one-day series this year in September before the International Cricket Council (ICC) Champions Trophy in India.

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Shaharyar Khan told Reuters the countries had held discussions on the possibility of holding the tri-series between Sept 12 and Oct 5.

"We all agree in principle it is a viable proposal. The only problem is that Pakistan is hosting Zimbabwe from late September and we are still not sure if their tour will go ahead on schedule," Shaharyar said.

India is already arranging bilateral series and other tournaments with ICC members outside the world governing body's future tours programme.

Under the tours program, all 10 Test playing member nations play each other over a six-year cycle.

Where will this series be held? It would be a cracker, pitching among the top 5 teams of international cricket!

Well this certainly is big news and that too before the Champions trophy is good to judge your quality and consistancy. Hope they go forward with the plans of holding this series.

Where will this series be held?

I would like it to be in Australia, although it gives the home advantage to the Aussies, but I'd like to see India/Pakistan perform over there on those pitches.

It won't be in Aus as the only tri series they host is the VB series. This sounds more liket he Sharjar(sp) cup. Given India are hosting the ICC trophy I think it should be there so all 3 teams can get good match pratice before the cup.

Yes! India and Pakistan are looking to revive cricket in the Middle East and in neutral venues like in Sharjah and Toronto!

Hopefully, we will see the mega return of the Sharjah Cup with India, Pakistan and Australia! I am sure the series will be one hell of a blockbuster! It should be day/nighters! A Sharjah day/nighter floods back sweet memories for Indian and Pakistani fans (even for Australia who got whacked by the Sachin desert storm!)
