Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Shaharyar Khan was very much worried about the India-Pakistan bilateral series which were supposed to play. Pakistan and India played the bilateral series in 2007 for the last time and was on a tour to India in 2013 to play three ODIs and T2o matches.
As the NSA level talks were called off Mr Khan is thinking about the effect of the NSA talks on INDO-Pak cricket relation. He said that, "We were very hopeful that a lot of ice would melt with the NSA level talks and it would help cricket but unfortunately things are not looking good now for the series in December."
"The series with India does not look possible now and it is a big loss for cricket but we will try although I do not think it will lead to anything. We have always said that politics and sports should be kept apart. But apparently India does not think this way," added the PCB chairman.
Anurag Thakur, BCCI chairman tweeted on Sunday that, there will be no revival of cricketing relations between the two countries if Pakistan harbours Dawood Ibrahim and makes attempts to indulge in dialogue with separatist leaders.”
The PCB chief said, "We have to now seriously look at a plan B for a series in December because we were supposed to host India in this period. We do not have many options but those we do we will work on them."
Shaharyar Khan had met the National security advisor to the Pak PM to take up the issue of Indo-Pak Cricket relations and find out the solution.
Let us see what happens…will they play the bilateral series or not??
