Pakistan Cricket Board seems unhappy with the success of BCCI and IPL. The board is now preparing to talk to the rest of the board on the proposal of giving a window of two and a half months to the IPL in the ICC’s new Future Tour Program (FTP) calendar. The PCB believes that the window of two and a half months will have an adverse effect on many international series. Speaking to PTI, BCCI secretary Jay Shah had said that the FTP cycle from 2024 to 2031 will have a window of two and a half months for the IPL. So that all the top international cricketers of the world can play in this league.
Pakistan will discuss the issue of window
The BCCI secretary said that we also talked to other boards and the ICC about this. At the same time, the Pakistan Board believes that there is a need to discuss this issue. According to a PCB source, the ICC Board meeting will be held during the Birmingham Commonwealth Games in July and the issue will be discussed at the same time. The PCB official said that it is good to see money coming into cricket, but the BCCI’s plan to book top cricketers for the IPL every year will have an adverse effect on the international series. Talking about the cricket relationship between India and Pakistan, no bilateral series has been played between the two for a long time. India and Pakistan face each other only in ICC tournaments.
