He told APP that we are likely to host a bilateral Pak-India series at the end of this year in Dubai.

"We will be playing three ODIs and three Twenty-20s in the series," he said.

He said that on May 12 there is a meeting of the World Blind Cricket Council (WBCC) in which we discussion about hoding the series will be held.

He said teams of Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Australia New Zealand, West Indies, South Africa and England will attend that the meeting.

"We want India and all other countries to tour Pakistan and revive international cricket over here."

He said that earlier this year the South African team wanted to come to Pakistan in December if their government would allow them.

He also said that among all the countries Pakistan was the most successful and the only one which spends the most on this sport.

"We get a grant of one crore thirty lakhs from the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) which has made it very easy for us to participate in many international events."

He said that because of this grant they got a lot of exposure in international cricket and that is why they were becoming better at the game.

As many as three blind World Cups have been held so far at New Delhi, India (1998), Chennai, India (2002), and Islamabad, Pakistan (2006).

Pakistan has won the last two World Cups while the first one was won by South Africa.
