Pakistan was urging India to play the bilateral series between them from many days back. But India was not at all interested in playing the Indo-Pak match.
Few days back, BCCI declared that if the higher officials of the Indian government will wave a green flag then they are equally ready to play the cricket.
Now, the chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board Shaharyar Khan has said that PCB would no longer want to ask India to play the pending bilateral series which was planned to happen in UAE in December.
"I think we have said enough about the series and we are not going to ask them anymore. The ball is in their court now and they now have to decide and inform us about the fate of the series," said the PCB chairman.
He later added, "I don't want to say anything more on the series. But what is causing us concern is that from what we know the letter we sent to the Indian board about the series has not gone to their government as yet.”
"The series is part of a proper MOU signed between the two boards and we will pursue this matter if required, relations between the two countries have been tense in the past as well but we still played cricket. But since 2007 India has not played a test against us. We will not run after them now it is their turn to decide and realize the importance of reviving bilateral cricket ties."
Khan seriously added that, "It is not just about us wanting to play them. I think it is also important for India to play us. And the fact is the financial rewards from a Indo-Pak series is immense for both boards and the positive is that money will eventually trickle down to the players and in helping the grass roots cricket, India might be a financial powerhouse but even they know they can earn a lot more from playing Pakistan. There are benefits for both boards."
