The International Cricket Council (ICC) has approved neutral venues for matches involving countries who are unable to host test series.
New Zealand pulled out of a tour of Pakistan scheduled for this month after the September 11th attacks on New York and Washington.
England's tour of India this year is also in doubt after the attacks and the subsequent U.S.-led bombings of Afghanistan.
"Cricket in some countries, most notably Pakistan, is in the front line of world events," said ICC president Malcolm Gray at the conclusion of an executive board meeting today.
"We need to adopt creative solutions to support those affected and to overcome those problems. In agreeing to use independent venues, the board was totally supportive that every effort should be made to assist them."
