Darlow said that such matches would be very crowded, as England had a lot of people from South Asia. Also India can agree to play against Pakistan at neutral venue. At present, both the teams face each other only in ICC and ACC tournaments. The India-Pakistan Test series will generate a lot of revenue and a lot of spectators will also watch the match on TV.
However, when news agency PTI spoke to BCCI about this, the officials laughed at the suggestion and said that no such possibility can arise at least in the next few years. A senior BCCI official told PTI on Tuesday – First of all, the ECB spoke to the PCB about the Indo-Pak series and it is a bit strange. The BCCI will not decide the series against Pakistan, it is the government's decision. As of now, the stance is the same as it was before. We will play Pakistan only in multi sporting events.
