"We are having a serious rethink about it. We might ask them to play the one-dayers whenever they next come for the two Tests as the Tests and ODIs are both part of a contractual package with them," he said on condition of anonymity.

Zimbabwe had been scheduled to visit Pakistan from September 15 onwards to play two Tests and then go to India for the Champions Trophy before returning after the tournament in late October for a one-day series in Pakistan this year.

But Zimbabwe's cricket administrators on Wednesday announced they would not be playing any Tests until early 2007 to sort out their internal problems including a complete boycott by leading players of the Zimbabwe Cricket.

Pakistan is also due to host West Indies from late October for three Tests and a one-day series and the PCB official said the idea was to now try to increase the number of one-dayers against West Indies.

Zimbabwe's decision to not play Tests has also put their tour of West Indies in April in jeopardy.
