League Notes: Pakistan Willing To Play In India If It Receives BCCI Guarantees

All-rounder Shahid Afridi believes Pakistan "can go to India and play a series" but only after the Pakistan Cricket Board gets written guarantees from the Board of Control for Cricket in India. Afridi: "We can go and play in India but I back the stance of the PCB Chairman Shaharyar Khan that we first need written guarantees from the Indian board about everything." His comments were in response to media reports that the BCCI has said it was "willing to host the planned bilateral series with Pakistan in December but on a 50-50 revenue sharing basis" (NDTV, 11/12). ...
