BCCI wants to host Pakistan in December: report

According to the signed MOU, the arch-rivals are due to face each other in December this year

Board of Cricket Control in India (BCCI) wants to host Pakistan for a short series in December, a BCCI official told The Indian Express.

“We want cricketing ties to happen, we don’t want politics to hamper cricket. We will be going with a few proposals."

Board official said that the BCCI needs government permission for the series against Pakistan.



“To play against Pakistan, we need to get the government’s permission. So we need to speak to the government and whatever decision the government takes, the BCCI will decide accordingly.”

Indian cricket team is currently playing South Africa in a four Test series at home, which will finish on December 7 and is due to tour Australia for a short series in January, which leaves a short window for a series against Pakistan.



“The first proposal, we can have five ODIs and two T20s. In the second proposal, we can have three ODIs and two T20s. All these games will be played in those parts of the country where we feel there will be no disturbance from political parties.”, the source said.
