Pakistan's hectic schedule in 2006

Pakistan has a fairly hectic schedule in 2006. After a home series against India, Pakistan will move on to tour Sri Lanka and England. This will be followed by the Champions Trophy in India, followed by a home series against Zimbabwe and West Indies, prior to going to South Africa prior to the World Cup. Essentially, Pakistan has only the month of May for fine tuning and rest for the team, as otherwise the entire schedule is full.
