Indian media claims that the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is reportedly working on an alternate plan as Afghanistan’s participation in a T20 Tri-Series in November is now doubtful due to the ongoing military conflict between the two countries.
Pakistan was supposed to host Sri Lanka and Afghanistan for a seven-T20I series, starting on November 17 in Rawalpindi with the final on November 29 in Lahore. However, deadly overnight clashes erupted along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border in the last couple of days.
“The PCB chairman, Mohsin Naqvi, has asked the International Cricket Council to start working on an alternate plan as he wants the Tri-Series to go ahead,” news agency PTI cited a source as saying.
“Obviously, if the series with Sri Lanka is finalized, then either the selectors play without these players or the duration of their NOCs will have to be reconsidered by the PCB, meaning a disagreement with Cricket Australia,” the source said.
