Re: ECB has offered PCB to host Pak-Aus Test series
^ ditto... as they say... "Pragmatism is the new Idealism" and although on the outset, we might oppose adopting solutions to problems that might lack conscience or balance - such as teams not coming to Pakistan to play... the reality of it is that we need to recognize that we're not the choosers in this situation. We’re here now... and we’ve got to decide what's best for Pakistan Cricket.
England as offshore venue?
PCB chairman Ijaz Butt has said that he had discussions with Giles Clarke, the ECB chairman, about staging offshore matches in England if countries continue to be concerned about the security situation in Pakistan.
“I had some positive discussions with Giles Clarke during the International Cricket Council (ICC) meeting in Dubai last week. And he said when we can play our matches offshore why not in England?” Butt said. **“They are offering us good terms and conditions. They are willing to share 50% of revenues from ticket sales and media sales.” **
