PCB eyes to bring Australia, New Zealand to Pakistan

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Najam Sethi is hopeful to host either New Zealand or Australia in Pakistan for at least one game during their tour to the UAE later this year.

“We are scheduled to host Australia and New Zealand for our home series in UAE. I will try my best to convince both of them to play at least one match in Pakistan during the series,” Sethi said in a video message.

The PCB Chief seems satisfied with the progress of Pakistan cricket team and PCB during 2017 and said, “Last year was very good for cricket. PCB and our team have achieved a lot in 2017. It was the collective dedication and team spirit that we did well. We are on a winning streak and it will continue.”

“We hosted the PSL final, then World XI team came and then Sri Lanka arrived and played in Pakistan. West Indies will come and play in Pakistan in March,” he added.

Sethi repeated, “We will have two PSL matches in Lahore and a final in Karachi. West Indies will also come to play three matches after PSL.”

Sethi also hoped that Pakistan will grab the top position in the ODI ranking as well, as they have achieved in T20is.
