Pakistan Cricket Board Wants India To Be 'Home Ground' For All Int'l Matches

The Pakistan Cricket Board wants to make India "home" where it can host all its int'l series, according to Harinder Baweja of the HINDUSTAN TIMES. PCB Chair Shahryar Khan said, "We would like to make India our home." Khan said that "the PCB has offers from Bangladesh and Sri Lanka as well but would prefer India." He added, "India will be more cost-effective." In int'l cricket, bilateral series "are generally reciprocal so that revenues can be shared." Currently, Pakistan hosts its int'l matches in the UAE "because teams are still wary of travelling to the country following a terror attack on the Sri Lankan team bus in 2009." The Board of Control for Cricket in India "did not rule out the possibility of offering its help to Pakistan, but said there were quite a few issues, some of them beyond the two boards’ control, which have to be looked into before things moved ahead" (HINDUSTAN TIMES, 5/24). The PTI reported Indian Premier League Chair Rajeev Shukla said on Friday that there are "no immediate chances" of revival of cricketing ties between India and Pakistan. Shukla said, "Though talks between the boards of two countries have held recently, but there are no immediate chances of revival of cricketing ties between India and Pakistan." Shukla asserted that "the series can only happen after a government clearance." Shukla: "There is no final decision yet taken on resumption of ties" (PTI, 5/23).
