Pakistan has switched the venues for the first two one-day internationals against India in February for security reasons, the director of operations for the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Saleem Altaf said on Thursday.

Altaf said the first match would be played in Rawalpindi on February 6 and the second in Peshawar two days later. The first match was originally scheduled for Peshawar and the second for Pindi. Altaf said police in Pindi had informed the board they did not have enough people to staff the match.
