Pak-India series may be reduced to two ODIs

ISLAMABAD (APP) - A Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) official on Tuesday said if Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) confirmed the Indo-Pak series at the eleventh hour then there is a possibility to reduce the ODIs or Twenty-20s.

It may be added that the PCB Chairman had said that the fate of the planned series between arch-rivals Pakistan and India which includes five One Day International and two T20 matches, will be decided during a visit to Islamabad by India’s Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj this week.


A PCB official told APP if the Indian government gives a go ahead for the series then it will happen from December 15 only.

“Both the boards (PCB and BCCI) cannot delay the dates of the series as both the teams have their international commitments in January,” he said.

He said if the series happens it will only take place from December 15. “Not before or not after December 15,” he said adding however the series might be reduced to three or two ODIs or One T20.
