He further said that Britain Prime Minister David Cameroon also offered us that we are ready for the hosting of traditional rivals and they will provide the best services as much as possible. Both of the boards will start work on scheduling the series as the governments will permit them. According to ICC rules the essential series will held and this impression is not true that in new future program the numbers of Pakistan-India series are less.

PCB chairman said that if Pakistan would not have face the spot-fixing scandal then return of international cricket was possible. The tours of MCC and ICC World XI teams were finalized.

International media believes that circumstances are not well all over the Pakistan.

Ijaz Butt said that I have told ICC authorities and other boards that how much crazes there is in our country. Thousands of cricket lovers came from Karachi and Lahore to see the domestic match. I am providing my best services for the return of international cricket in Pakistan but until ICC is not ready to hold on matches in Pakistani stadiums we have to play at neutral venues. In this way the players will busy and source of board’s income will continue.
