The Pakistan Cricket Board has released the itinerary for neighbour India's Test tour early next year, although the schedule will only be finalised after a delegation for the visitors complete a security inspection.

PCB chief operating officer Shafqat Naghmi said that India had approved the itinerary, which includes three Tests, five one-day internationals, a Twenty20 game and a three-day tour match.

According to the schedule, India will arrive in Pakistan on January 4 and play Tests in Karachi, Rawalpindi and Lahore.

"The Indians have approved the itinerary and our security plan but will send a security delegation for an inspection tour before the series," he said.

"If their delegation makes any recommendations, we will look into them but for the time being, this itinerary is approved."

The Test tour will be India's third in Pakistan since 2004.
