NEW DELHI: Virtually ruling out the chances of playing Pakistan in the proposed bilateral series, BCCI secretary Anurag Thakur today said that it will be “impossible for PCB” to arrange a series in such a short time.
PCB chief Shaharyar Khan had two days back said he was still awaiting BCCI’s written reply on the proposed series later this month besides hoping that the Indian Government gives green light to the resumption of cricketing ties in a “day or two”.
“It is not possible to arrange a series in such a short time. Even if we get a go ahead (from Government) next week it will be virtually impossible to arrange a series in such a short time. At the same time it will have to be arranged by PCB,” Thakur told reporters.
While Pakistan Cricket Board has been playing the waiting game by extending deadlines after deadlines for the BCCI, the Indian cricket board has maintained all along that the decision to play its arch rival rests with its Government. (AGENCIES)
