Pakistan to play tri-series in Dubai
Sports Saturday, January 31st, 2009Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh will be featuring in the tri-series in Dubai Sports City in April, Pakistan coach Intikhab Alam said on Saturday. He said Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) have signed a three-year Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Dubai Sports City and dates for the event are being worked out.
He said if Australians don’t want to play One-Day International series in Pakistan, they should show solidarity as the member of allied forces in Afghanistan, to play at least one ODI either in Karachi and Lahore.
Intikhab Alam said that successful staging of that match would lead to opening the doors for revival of teams from countries like England, New Zealand, South Africa touring Pakistan again.
He said he personally feels that there is no problem for sports persons in Pakistan. He said that successful staging of three match ODI series against Sri Lanka reflects the scenario.
He said Scotland, Ireland, United Arab Emirates, Malaysia are being considered as the venues for neutral territory for odi series against Australia.
He said PCB Chief Ijaz Butt would be finalizing the programme during his meeting with Cricket Australia officials in Melbourne on February 4.
