Roberts, who has been in England for the Ashes, and CA's head of security Sean Carroll will meet with Pakistan Cricket Board officials in Lahore, the first time in more than a decade a "high-level" Australian party has scoured the cricketing hot spot.

PCB chief Wasim Khan said discussions would help build "confidence" between the nations.

"The visit by Kevin Robert will be the first high-level visit by a Cricket Australia delegation in more than a decade. The PCB is viewing this as an important visit as it will help in relationship and confidence building exercise between the two boards," he said.
