Pakistan Cricket Board is ready to tour India to break the ice between the two countries with a cricket series. Keen to revive bilateral cricket ties with India, PCB’s new chief Zaka Ashraf on Sunday said if needed the Board is willing to make the first move and send the national team across the border.
Talking to the media here in Lahore, Ashraf said on Sunday, “I want to see our traditional bilateral ties revived as soon as possible and for that even if we have to send our team to India to make a start we will do it.”
The PCB chief is hoping to hold constructive talks with the officials of the ICC and the India andBangladesh Cricket Boards during a visit to Dubai immediately after Eid holidays.
Ashraf said, “I will be going to Dubai to meet with thePakistan team players and officials and will also be visiting the ICC headquarters on the 13th for a meeting in which I hope to have talks with Bangladesh and Indian board officials.”
When asked Ashraf said it was important for the traditional series between Pakistan and India to be revived because it was a big attraction of the cricket world and guaranteed good earnings for the boards and also lifted the profile of the sport in the sub-continent.
