BCCI chief asks Shahryar to wait for another four days on series confirmation
Shahryar Khan said Indian authorities are waiting for the permission from their government.
LAHORE (Dunya News) – Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) chief Shashank Manohar on Thursday once again asked Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chief Shahryar Khan to wait for another three to four days for the final decision on Indo-Pak cricket series.
According to sources, the PCB chief approached BCCI for a final response over much talked series between the neighbors.
Shahryar Khan said that Indian authorities also need permission from their government due to which they are delaying the series.
India has maintained a quite confused stance since past weeks when it comes to cricket series with Pakistan.
PCB had hoped Sushma Swaraj’s visit to Pakistan for the Heart of Asia regional conference Tuesday and Wednesday would open the way for a limited short over series, agreed between the PCB and the Indian cricket board and due to be played in Sri Lanka.
The conference saw a joint declaration between India and Pakistan to combine efforts to weed-out terrorism but cricket series was mentioned nowhere.
Earlier, PCB Chairman Shehryar Khan was invited by the Indian counterpart but the intolerant country could not see a Pakistani diplomat land in India. Indian extremist wing, Shiv Sena launched series of protests.
The Pakistani board has finally taken the wheel pushing India on the backseat and will contact the Indian cricket authorities today for a final response.
