The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has clarified that there are no plans for an offshore T20I series against India, with the current focus on the successful organization of the Champions Trophy. Speculations arose after PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi reportedly discussed the possibility of a T20I series in England or Australia with BCCI officials. However, a reliable source confirmed that there is no such proposal under consideration due to the challenges of hosting the Champions Trophy and a busy international schedule.
During the recent ICC meetings in Colombo, PCB’s primary goals were securing budget approval for the Champions Trophy and ensuring India’s participation in Pakistan. With bilateral ventures currently off the table, the PCB is fully committed to these objectives. India and Pakistan have not engaged in bilateral series since 2012, with the Champions Trophy also facing uncertainty amid discussions of India preferring matches outside Pakistan.
By prioritizing the Champions Trophy and maintaining a packed schedule, the PCB aims to address pressing issues before considering bilateral relations with India. Stay tuned for more updates on international cricket developments.
