I don’t think India can come Pakistan right now: http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shahryar-Khan-c89485
Former Pakistan Cricket Board Chairman, Shahryar Khan does not see India cricket team visiting Pakistan in near future.
“May be in a year or two years time, we may be able to create a climate and assurances on security that would allow teams to come,” said Khan while talking to a sports channel. “I don’t think India can come right now,” he insisted.
The 77-year-old reckoned that after Sri Lanka has declined from touring Pakistan due to security concern, one should not expect any other foreign team to visit Pakistan.
“We would like foreign teams to come and play against us after such a long time but we also appreciate that if http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 can’t come and they have just said that they are not able to come because of the security climate then it is hardly likely that other
teams will come,” Shahryar, who took over from Gen Tauqir Zia as the chairman of PCB in December 2003.
When asked, would Pakistan be happy for cricketing contracts with India to resume in a third country, Khan said that since it is likely that no foreign team would visit Pakistan for security concerns, they would be happy to play in a third country.
He further added that there is a third alternative as well and that is only Pakistan tours India to play a series. Asked, would that be acceptable to cricketing authorities in Pakistan, Shahryar said that as long as the financial arrangements can be worked
out, it should be acceptable.
No International team has visited http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 World Cup 2011, which was initially to
be jointly hosted by India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bangladesh-c747. But in the end, the matches from Pakistan were shifted to the other three countries citing security concerns
Responding to the question, “In which case, how soon do u see a formal series between the two countries happen?” the ex PCB official said that the arch rivals can start with a One Day International series.
“...maybe we can’t have a test series and a one day series but we could perhaps fit in five one dayers.”
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 have a four to five weeks slot available, the two nemesis can have a five-match one-day series in India.
