PCB Chairman Shaharyar Khan has admitted that Planned ‘India-Pakistan series’ in UAE in December is in 'real danger'. The Chairman plans to visit India next month to meet BCCI hierarchy and other government officials to discuss on this issue.

The PCB Chief also admitted that the present political relations between India and Pakistan could have a bearing on the series.
Shaharyar Khan said that, "There is a real danger at this time to the series. But I plan to go to India to get a clear answer on the prospects of the matches being held in December.”

Memorandum of Understanding

According to Khan, PCB was keen to follow the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed between PCB and Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). MoU was signed after the new governance system took place in the International Cricket Council, to play six bilateral series between 2015 and 2022. The BCCI was ready to play the series but awaiting nod from the government.

"I want to have frank discussions with the relevant officials in India because we can't delay preparations for too long and we need to know where we stand," Khan said.

"BCCI is standing firm that they will respect the MoU signed with Pakistan, but they need permission from the recently elected government," the PCB chief added.
