Rawalpindi to host India Test

ISLAMABAD, Sept 23 (AP): Rawalpindi will host its first cricket test in more than four years when India tours Pakistan in January.
India will play Pakistan in the second test and third limited-overs match of the series at Rawalpindi, according to the Pakistan Cricket Board's tour itinerary released Tuesday.
India played Pakistan the last time Rawalpindi hosted a test match in April 2004.
Former Pakistan prime minister Benazir Bhutto was assassinated at Rawalpindi in December, and the city has been the scene of several violent incidents in past years. The city is also located near the federal capital Islamabad where at least 53 people died after a powerful blast at the Marriott Hotel Saturday.
