NEW DELHI : Ruling out any possibility of an Indo-Pak series in the near future, BCCI secretary Anurag Thakur said no such series is scheduled in International Cricket Council (ICC) Futures Tours & Programme (FTP) calender.
“In the FTP, we had a series planned in 2015 but there is no series planned in 2016 against Pakistan. India will be playing against them in Asia Cup and the World T20 since they are multinational tournaments. And India has been playing them for many years,” Thakur told media.
Earlier, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) had expressed that a bilateral series could happen this year after the proposed short limited-overs last month in Sri Lanka failed to materialise.
The planned series in December had remained in limbo for a long time with little progress made in the last couple of months.
