England provided impartial venue for Indo-Pak Test collection, BCCI not

The UK every day ‘Telegraph’ reported that “The England and Wales Cricket Board’s vice-chairman Martin Darlow has been in talks with the Pakistan Cricket Board during the current Twenty20 series and ideally offered an England ground for the three-match Test series.” sooner or later.”

While the ECB has made the supply for its personal business benefit, the powers that be within the BCCI laughed on the strategies that no such chance might come up not less than within the subsequent few years.

“First of all, the ECB spoke to the PCB concerning the Indo-Pak collection and it’s a bit unusual. Anyway, the collection in opposition to Pakistan isn’t one thing that the BCCI will resolve however it’s the determination of the federal government.

For the time being the scenario stays as it’s. We solely play Pakistan in multi-team occasions,” a senior BCCI official for India’s place instructed PTI on Tuesday.

India and Pakistan final performed a brief bilateral white-ball collection in India in 2012 and the final Test collection dates again to 2007.

With tense political ties between the neighbours, it’s a huge ‘no’ from the BCCI, whether or not it’s performed at dwelling, away or at a impartial venue.

The paper provides precisely the rationale why the ECB made a “generous offer”.

“The matches will attract large crowds to the UK, which has a large ex-pat South Asian population,” it stated.

“The matches attract huge sponsorship revenue and television audiences.” However, the paper made it clear that “the PCB is also not keen on playing India at a neutral venue but is grateful for the ECB’s offer, reflecting the growing relationship between the two boards.” It added that the massive nation would begin touring Pakistan once more, a “regressive step in their eyes” in the event that they play at a impartial venue.
