There has been a discussion going on for the last few days regarding the T20 series between India and Pakistan. Many media reports were claiming that the Pakistan Cricket Board is preparing a proposal to play a bilateral series with the Indian team after the ICC Champions Trophy. This series is being planned to be organized in cricket stadiums of other countries instead of India or Pakistan. Now Pakistan Cricket Board Chairman Mohsin Naqvi himself has put forth his opinion on this discussion.
What did the PCB chairman say?
According to a report, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Mohsin Naqvi made it clear that he has not proposed to play a T20 cricket series against India and his entire focus is on successfully hosting the ICC Champions Trophy. This is the biggest challenge for us at the moment.' Pakistan cricket's international schedule is also very busy. In such a situation, the question of playing a bilateral cricket series with India does not arise.
The situation is not clear in the Champions Trophy as well
The ICC Champions Trophy is going to be held in Pakistan next year. There is little possibility of the Indian team going to Pakistan to play in this tournament. The Pakistan Cricket Board wants the Indian team to tour Pakistan at any cost. But the final decision in this regard has to be taken by the BCCI. It is believed that all the matches of India in this tournament can be held in Dubai or Sri Lanka.
When was the last bilateral series held between the two teams?
The last bilateral series between India and Pakistan was played in 2012-13. Then the Pakistan cricket team came to India on a tour. From 25 December 2012 to 6 January 2013, a series of 2 T20 and 3 ODI matches was played between India and Pakistan. The T20 cricket series was drawn 1-1, while Pakistan won the ODI series 2-1. Talking about Test cricket, the last Test series between India and Pakistan was played in 2007. India won the 3-match Test series played in Pakistan 1-0.
