DUBAI: International Cricket Council (ICC) has refused to play any type of role for the series between Pakistan and India.
According to ICC chief executive Dave Richardson has said the world cricketing body is in favour of India and Pakistan resuming cricketing ties, but added that it cannot interfere in the matter concerning boards from both countries.
“We realise just how important it is for world cricket to have regular matches between Pakistan and India but unfortunately the ICC cannot interfere in this matter as it is a bilateral matter purely between two boards,” Richardson was quoted as saying by PTI.
He said that the matches between arch rivals are Phenomenal and it was great for cricket sport.
“So we can’t interfere or do anything in this matter but we would like to see them playing bilateral matches again.”
Richardson also ruled out the impression that the ICC was not happy on revival of international cricket in Pakistan with the tour of the Zimbabwe side recently.
“We didn’t send match officials because we look at a situation differently from national teams but it is not as if we don’t support having international cricket in Pakistan.
