A delegation of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Monday arrived in Pakistan via Wagah Border, Aaj News reported.
Leading the delegation was BCCI President Roger Binny, with Vice-President Rajeev Shukla.
Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Zaka Ashraf welcomed the BCCI delegation and held a brief press conference with them.
The two sides are reportedly to engage in discussions of mutual interest.
On their visit to Pakistan on an invitation by the PCB, the BCCI delegation also plans to watch a Asia Cup 2023 match scheduled in Pakistan.
Speaking on the occasion, Ashraf said the visit of BCCI delegation would help pave the way for strengthening sport ties between the two neighbouring countries.
“I am very pleased to be back in Pakistan,” said Roger Binny.
“My last visit to Pakistan was in 2005 when we worked with Pakistan fast bowlers of the Asian Cricket Council. It’s been a very welcome trip. Thank you for inviting us over. We will watch Sri Lanka play Afghanistan tomorrow.”
However, Shukla was of the view that their visit to Pakistan was necessary as it was hosting Asia Cup this year.
