Flood relief T20 arranged for UAE

Abu Dhabi will host the second Twenty20 match of the tour, with the newly-arranged charity game scheduled to precede it

South Africa will play Pakistan in an extra Twenty20 international during their tour of the United Arab Emirates later this year to help raise funds for victims of the Pakistan floods.

More than a thousand people have lost their lives and almost 20 million have been affected after heavy monsoon rains caused havoc - with the southern regions of Pakistan most badly hit.

Cricket South Africa chief executive Gerald Majola said: "This has been a dreadful tragedy and our hearts go out to the people of Pakistan.

"Social responsibility plays an important role in the brotherhood of sport that brings nations together from across the world.

"This is only a small contribution but we hope it will play some part in alleviating the suffering of the Pakistani people."

No date has yet been fixed for the game, but CSA has confirmed an agreement with the Pakistan Cricket Board was in place for it to be the first game of the trip, originally scheduled to begin with another T20 fixture on October 27.

This means the tour will now have two T20 fixtures, five one-day internationals and two Test matches split between the two neutral venues of Abu Dhabi and Dubai.

Pakistan are playing their matches in the UAE due to the unstable security situation in their own country.
