Pakistan’s pursuit of India tour pays off

Zaka Ashraf when he served as President of Pakistan cricket in October of last year and had a high-priority tasks for the resumption of suspended game and the revival of international relations with its arch-foe India. With security concerns still running high, there is still no prospect of foreign teams touring Pakistan soon, but cricket fans rejoiced Monday also called on India to tour their neighbors limited amounts in December and January.   

This series, if approved by both governments, will end a break of five years in a series between two of the greatest competitors the sport, and see the sub-continent come to a standstill for three one-dayers and two Twenty20.

Brought the terrorist attacks on Mumbai, commercial capital of India in November 2008 cricket ties with Pakistan to stop the vibration, as New Delhi has accused militants across the border for the three-day assault that left 166 people.

He considered that any resumption of cricket tours and politically impossible in India to improve diplomatic relations and Pakistan expressed its readiness to deal with terrorist groups that target the country. But after more than two years without significant progress, began to thaw during the World Cup last year, when Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh invited his Pakistani counterpart Yousuf Raza Gilani to watch their sides contest the semi-finals in the Indian city of Mohali.

The last major step came in April, when President Asif Ali Zardari, Singh's request to re-establish links at a meeting in the Indian capital.

While the politicians and civil servants have played a crucial role, there have been on and off communications between the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) for more than nine months. I went two nuclear powers at war with each other three times since independence from Britain in 1947, and was narrowly averted another conflict in 1987 when the then Pakistani military ruler General Zia ul-Haq visited India for a series of cricket. And was supervised in a report to see the competition played out on the pitch again. "There is certainly a sense of accomplishment, but thanks to President Asif Zardari to start in the revival and the millions of fans who want India and Pakistan play each other," said Ashraf told AFP. Bank of Credit and Commerce Chairman Narayanaswami Srinivasan ignored in the beginning when the new PCB Chairman Ashraf asked to convene a meeting in December last year, but relented after India trip Zardari in April.

"After the visit of President Zardari, there was a clear change," said Ashraf. "First I was invited to attend the Indian Premier League final in May, after which it was included to have a team of local Sialkot fort in the Champions League."

Champions League Twenty20 is an event owned by India, Australia and South Africa, involving teams from the United cricket higher.

Ashraf and his colleagues suffered a temporary setback in the last session of the International Criminal Court in Malaysia last month, when officials of Bank of Credit and Commerce gave them the cold shoulder, but the PCB Chairman said that he did not lose hope.

A spokesman for Bank of Credit and Commerce Rajiv Shukla told AFP he had no doubt that the series will get government approval to proceed.

"The Board of Directors of Pakistan has been insisting for a series for a long time," he said. "But we did not want to play in a neutral venue."

India decided to journey with, and must be supervised now turn to the task of his second term, the revival of international matches in Pakistan, which has been suspended since the terrorist attack on the Sri Lankan team in 2009. "We have an understanding with Bangladesh, and we are confident that they will tour us in the near future," said Ashraf.
