Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and USA Cricket Association (USACA) have agreed to have a long term agreement for playing cricket in USA. The two boards are still finalising the dates and the types of match competitions – assurances were made by both parties that a long term agreement to play in the USA will begin with a match series later in 2010.

“ On sidelines of ICC meeting in Dubai, Chairman PCB Ijaz Butt and COO PCB Wasim Bari held a meeting with USA Cricket (USACA) officials to discuss organizing match series in USA in 2010”, PCB said in a statement.

Pakistan playing as a full member in the USA is in line with the ICC policy to grow the sport in countries such as the United States,” said Butt, who rushed back home after the first day of the ICC baord meeting on the call of the President of Pakistan – who is the Chief Patron of PCB.
