***“We are planning to play a series with South Africa which will be called Jinnah-Mandela trophy, named after two great leaders,” Zaka Ashraf
***Are the two boards forging closer ties with each other in the wake of the big 3 power game. Sounds like a good idea.
Pakistan are planning to play RSA again in June. Some people might call it an overkill but I don’t mind if we play SA more regularly. They are a top notch cricketing nation. I hope they formalise this say every 2 years. It’s better than playing a lower ranked team and we can improve our game. Any opportunity to play the best should not be frowned upon
Re: Pakistan-South Africa series to be called Jinnah-Mandela Trophy
The problem is that they have been working on such plans like PSL or the one recently mentioned since forever. I dont understand why it takes so long. Its not a hidden thing that they MUST coordinate with Srilankan and Southafrican boards to hold some concrete longterm plans and then execute to make it happen.
Whether ICC revamp goes successful or no, Pakistan will never get a chance to play with so-called big-3s as much as they can play with other countries.
All what we can do right now is to consolidate with the likeminded boards not only to make a strong opinion but also for the improvement of cricket.
