Expected South Africa's tour to Pakistan

Reports/rumours are erupting that the Proteas are expected and interested in touring Pakistan before their tour to India, means after the conclusion of Bangladesh tour to Pakistan, there is a break of ten days where they have managed to include this series where they'd play a T20I series in Pakistan. But again as I included in my previous post, are our infrastructure capable of handling such ventures? Except of Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore a.k.a. GSL, none of the stadiums in Pakistan meet-up with the standard, because the major cricketing fraternity has gone towards electronic scoreboards and electronic advertisements, and here we're staging the tours on manual advertisements, thanks to the Almighty Allah at least we're using at-least Electronic Scoreboards for signaling outs from the third umpire panels, otherwise I remember during SL tour to Pakistan in 2009 which was actually the last tour before the 2019 tour of the same country few months ago, we were still using red, yellow and green lights at that time when even in Sharjah Stadium I remember the electronic and digital scoreboard was used to show the decision. Therefore in order to generate market interest for the production teams to have the Pakistan cricket as innovative and ambitious cricket production package, we require to take these steps seriously in order to rejuvenate the interest of the game in the country, because THIS is the responsibility of the PCB to make sure, because this is what they've been paid for.
