Monitoring Desk


LAHORE (TheSportsNext) July 21, 2012: Amid reports of England emerging as the option for hosting India for a reciprocal series, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) have strongly rejected the impression saying Pakistan is the top option to host the neighbours.

Nadeem Sarwar, Media Manager at PCB, told local media on Saturday, “I want to make it crystal clear that the PCB hasn’t even thought about the reciprocal series against India so there is no truth in any reports on this issue”.

He added, “Whenever that series comes under discussion, the first choice is going to be Pakistan”.

Pakistan will tour India in December this year to play One Day International and Twenty20 International series but there is no plan yet for a reciprocal tour, he stated.

It is important to mention here that no international cricket team is ready to tour Pakistan since March 2009 when Sri Lankan cricket team was attacked in Lahore enroute to Gaddafi Stadium. Cricket experts are of the view that if Indian cricket board is willing to send its team to Pakistan then it would give a strong message to the cricketing world and it would remove every hurdle in the way of international cricket returning to Pakistan.
