Former test cricketer and President of ICC, Zaheer Abbas has made it clear that Indo-Pak series is a matter between the two respective cricket boards and they cannot be compelled to play against each other.
According to local media reports Zaheer Abbas said, since the matter is a bilateral one between two boards the ICC can only talk to them but not compel them to play against each other bilaterally.
Abbas added, Pakistani cricket team is no ordinary team and is considered to be one of the best outfits in international cricket. He said that if it improves its performance then everybody will come towards it. The matter was out of the International Cricket Council (ICC) ´s hands.
But the cancellation of high-level talks between the two countries’ and raise the issue of India not agreeing on a bilateral series in the UAE.
