The Board of Cricket Control in India (BCCI) and Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) have declines England and Wales Cricket Board request to host India vs Pakistan bilateral series in England. ECB informally offered to play neutral host to both the neighboring countries but BCCI said chances of that happening in near future is next to nil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Martin Darlow, the deputy chairman of the England and Wales Cricket Board, had talks with the Pakistan Cricket Board during the current T20 series and offered England\u2019s grounds as venues for a Test series against India in future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ECB made the offer for its own commercial gains, but the the BCCI sees no such possibilities at least in next few years. Talking about the same, a BCCI official told PTI that ECB spoke to PCB about an Indo-Pak cricket match series. But such decision will not be taken by the cricket board of Pakistan or India but it is the decision of the government. And for the moment, BCCI’s stance remains the same of playing against Pakistan at multi-team events. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For the unversed, India denied inviting Pakistan Cricket Team in India and sending Indian players there after Pakistani terrorist were found involved in Mumbai 26\/11 attack. Due to security reasons Indian government banned Pakistani players to play in India and involve in any bilateral series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pakistani board used to make lot of money whenever India Pakistan bilateral series happened from broadcasting rights. After this attack Indian government believed that the money Pakistan board making from matches could be used to sponsor terrorism on Indian boarders. They have strong reasons to believe so. After the Mumbai attack Indian authorities captured a terrorist who confessed the crime and gave all detail. But still Pakistani Government didn\u2019t took any action against it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Currently, after tense political relations between India and Pakistan, BCCI remains firm on not playing Pakistan, irrespective of the fact, whether it will be played at out home grounds, away or at a neutral venue. Back in 2008, also Indian Government took strong stand of not to playing with Pakistan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then again both the government took initiative to play with each other and 2012\u201313 bilateral series was held but due to tension on boarder India never played with Pakistan again in bilateral series. India and Pakistan last played a short bilateral white-ball series back in 2012 in India and the last Test series dates back to 2007.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
