PCB chairman Shaharyar Khan feels India must fulfill its promise of ‘rewarding’ Pakistan for its support for the ‘Big Three’ governance system introduced in the International Cricket Council (ICC) last year.
Khan told reporters that Pakistan had its own reasons for supporting the ‘Big Three’ governance system but one of them was that it would eventually lead to restoration of bilateral ties with India.
“It is true that we agreed to the ‘Big Three’ system after the Indian cricket board promised us it would renew cricketing ties with us and they eventually also signed the MOU with us to play six series between 2015 and 2023,” the PCB chief said.
“We want the BCCI to honor its commitment made to us through the MOU and I am still optimistic the series could happen eventually,” he said.
The PCB has already sent a letter to the BCCI secretary Anurag Thakur this week asking him to confirm the series as soon as possible as time is running out to prepare for the matches.
India has avoided playing Pakistan in a full bilateral series since 2007, the last time the two countries played a Test match.
