PCB’s three proposals to resume indo-pak ties

Karachi.  Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has put three proposals in front of their Indian counterparts to resume ties between two countries.
The Pakistan Cricket Board has proposed that either India tour Pakistan, or play at a neutral venue or allows PCB to host their home series in India
PCB Chairman Zaka Ashraf today said that they have put forward the proposal to hire two stadiums in India to host their home series against India.
“It is only the basic principal issue which we have put forward. If they (BCCI) agree on that we can start discussion on the revenue sharing, and either it has to be revenue sharing or sole ownership of the series,” Ashraf told.
“If it is an Indian series we can go and play there and BCCI gets all the revenue and if they give us two stadium, PCB can play their own series there and the revenue can come to Pakistan Cricket Board,” he said.
Indo-Pak bilateral cricket ties severed after the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks. However things started looking brighter after the meeting of foreign secretaries of both the countries. Foreign secretaries expressed their willingness to have more sporting contacts between the two nations.
During the recent visit of Ashraf to India and at the sidelines of last month’s ICC and ACC meetings in Malaysia, the PCB chief had several meetings with BCCI President N Srinivasan.
Although both agreed to resume bilateral cricket ties, according to sources, the BCCI is not in favour of either India playing in Pakistan or at neutral venues.
