Karachi, Nov 3 (PTI) India would start their tour of Pakistan early next year with a Test in Lahore and cap the 40-day series with a match in Karachi, according to a revised itinerary prepared by the Pakistan Cricket Board. According to the new itinerary, which has already been sent to the Indian Cricket Board for approval, the tour would start in Lahore on January 2 and end in Karachi on February 11. "Yes, we have sent a revised itinerary according to which the first Test will be played in Lahore while Karachi will host the third and final Test as well as the fifth and last one-day international," PCB's Director, Board Operations, Saleem Altaf told PTI. "Basically we have swapped the first and third Tests in the revised itinerary and I think it is logical considering the fact that BCCI had requested the two-day tour opening practice match in Lahore only. By doing so, we have avoided lots of logistical hassles and complications," Altaf said. The first Test has been scheduled from January 5 after the two-day game on January 2-3 in the Punjab city. The second Test would be played from January 13 at Faisalabad and the Karachi Test will begin on January 21. The five-match one-day international series would be played at Peshawar (Jan 28), Rawalpindi (Jan 31), Lahore (Feb 3), Multan (Feb 6) and Karachi (Feb 11). PTI

{Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.}
(Holy Quran-16:125)
{And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites (men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33)
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of camels." [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim]
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said, "Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all."
[Muslim, Ahmad, Aboo Daawood, an-Nasaa'ee, at-Tirmidhee, Ibn Maajah]
