The announcement that Cricket Australia’s CEO, Nick Hockley, is keen to help arrange a high-profile tri-series between India and Pakistan is a big step forward for subcontinent cricket fans.
This step is being taken as anticipation for the much-anticipated match between two long-standing rivals, which has always been a significant draw in the cricket world, grows.
In an online press conference, Hockley emphasized the tremendous excitement surrounding meetings between India and Pakistan.
“Pakistan and India are traditional rival teams; there is a lot of excitement for their matches,” said the chief executive officer.
He went on to say that Cricket Australia is eager to help and support the planning of bilateral and tri-series with these countries.
Stressing that “we are ready to support both teams for a bilateral and a tri-series,” Hockley continued.
“We are excited to contribute to the resuscitation of the bilateral series between India and Pakistan,” Hockley stated, expressing Cricket Australia’s desire to unite these two formidable cricketing nations on the same field.
But he also said that any such arrangements would need to be coordinated by the governments of Pakistan and India as well as the respective cricket organizations.
He stated, “The two boards need to decide first, and we will assist in hosting,” adding that formal talks had not yet taken place because of the concerned cricket boards’ hectic schedules.
