The Pakistan cricket team will visit India for a short tour in December, the Indian media reported on Monday.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has said that the tour will take place in December and will consist of three One Day International matches.

Earlier in April, President Asif Ali Zardari during a daylong visit to India had requested Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to resume cricketing ties between the two countries.

All bilateral sporting ties including the most sought-after cricket games were stalled after the November 2008 Mumbai attacks, which killed 166 people including some foreigners, blamed on militants based in Pakistan.

Pakistan last toured India in 2007 while India featured in the Asia Cup held across the border in 2008.
