PCB chairman ready to play series in India
Shahryar Khan expressed his views while talking to media in Karachi.
KARACHI (Dunya News) – The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Shahryar Khan has on Thursday said Pakistan can play series in India despite the security concerns.
Like cricket spectators, PCB chief is also eager to watch the arch-rivals play against each other. It is worth mentioning here that Pakistan and India had signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to play six bilateral series against each other, but the series could not happen owing to India’s stubbornness.
PCB had also sent a notice to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) for the compensation of money that PCB lost by not having the home series. BCCI rejected PCB’s notice saying no legal deal was signed between the two countries, and said it still needs its government’s approval for the series.
After playing aggressively against the BCCI, PCB chairman has come to back foot and is now on defensive mode, as he has said that Pakistan can play series against India on their home soil.
Talking to media in Karachi, Shahryar Khan also spoke about the farewell that will be given to the recently retired cricketers, and said PCB will honor Shahid Afridi along with Misbah-ul-Haq and Younis Khan.
He also expressed his determination to bring international cricket back to Karachi after conducting the final match of Pakistan Super League (PSL) in Lahore.
