KARACHI, Tuesday (AFP) Pakistan's home cricket series against the West Indies was shifted to the Gulf venue of Sharjah Tuesday after the West Indies declined to play here because of security concerns over border tensions between India and Pakistan.

"Both boards have mutually decided to shift the series to Sharjah and there will be two Tests instead of three and three one-day games," Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Lieutenant General Tauqir Zia said.

This will be the first time that Sharjah, which has held a record 181 one-day internationals, will host a Test.
