Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Ehsan Mani said that the Pakistan team is ready to play a bilateral series with India. For this, PCB has also told this to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) many times, but now it will not run after BCCI again and again.
On the India-Pakistan series, Mani said in a podcast cricket show, "I believe and I have also told it to the BCCI that we are always ready to play. But we will not run after them again and again to convince them. It is their decision whether they are ready to play or not. "
Mani said, "This is a very big deal as many people watch the matches of India and Pakistan. I have told many times that when India-Pakistan competition takes place in the ICC event, then 20 to 25 crore people watch it live. It is clear that the fans want to see a match between the two countries, but some politicians do not allow this to happen. "
Earlier, former Pakistan fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar had also proposed the India-Pakistan charity match to raise funds for Coronavirus. He was supported by former Pakistani captain Shahid Afridi. At the same time, this proposal was rejected by former Indian captain and 1983 World Cup winner Kapil Dev. Kapil had said that India should not earn money by risking people's lives. India does not need money.
The last ODI bilateral series of matches was played between India and Pakistan in December 2012. India had lost 1-2 at home in the series. Talking about the match, the two teams had a match in the One Day World Cup last year. In this match, the Indian team won against Pakistan in the World Cup like every time. Team India won the match by 89 runs.
