New Zealand cancelled the second Test last year after the bomb blast

It will be the Black Caps' first visit since last May, when they aborted the second Test after a suicide bomb attack outside the team hotel in Karachi killed 14 people

Martin Snedden, chief executive of New Zealand Cricket, said: "NZC agrees that the team will visit Pakistan immediately after the conclusion of our tour of India to participate in a five-match ODI series."

Security fears since the bomb blast have led to several teams refusing to tour there, financially crippling the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).

No pay-out for Pakistan

In March, the International Cricket Council ruled New Zealand did not have to pay compensation to Pakistan for cutting short their tour.

Rameez Raja, chief executive of the PCB, hopes the New Zealand tour will encourage other nations to play in Pakistan.

"We are delighted with the news because it would open doors for international teams to resume tours to Pakistan more regularly," Rameez said.

"We are already hosting Bangladesh and South Africa between August and October but the tour by the Black Caps will be significant as they were the last team to come to Pakistan before their tour was curtailed.

"New Zealand's consent clearly proves that NZC has complete faith in the commitments of Pakistan government and PCB to provide security to its players.

"New Zealand's acceptance also indicates that we were not only able to convince NZC but also the ICC that Pakistan was a safe country to play cricket."

Rameez said the PCB would look at finalizing a tour schedule now that NZC had committed to the one-day series.

The confirmation of New Zealand's tour means Pakistan will host six Tests and 13 one-day internationals between August and November.
