The ICC Chairman Greg Barclay and CEO Geoff Allardice will meet Pakistan Cricket Board Chairman Najam Sethi at the headquarters in Lahore to discuss the issues related to their national team’s participation in the ODI World Cup in India, which will be held on October 5 starts. Sethi will also meet PCB’s COO Barrister Salman Naseer and other senior board officials. As of now, Sethi has maintained PCB’s stance that if India does not come to Pakistan for the Asia Cup, they will also demand that their matches be played in Bangladesh.
Barclay and Allardice would like to get a clearer picture and also break the deadlock on the issue as a match between India and Pakistan in Dhaka will be a very bad publicity not only for BCCI but also for the global organization.
The PCB insider claimed that Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Afghanistan and even Nepal have all told Shah that they have no problem playing a few games in Pakistan, while the rest of the September event would be held in Sri Lanka. must be kept.
Barclay will be visiting Pakistan for the first time, although Allardice has visited Lahore regularly since taking charge of the ICC. Barclay will be the first ICC president to tour Pakistan since the visit of ICC president Ray Mali in 2008.
This will also be the first time since October 2004 that both top two ICC officials have visited PCB headquarters.
