A meeting was recently held between representatives of the International Cricket Council (ICC), Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB). Even after this meeting held in Lahore, no final decision has been taken yet on the India-Pakistan match. According to Cricbuzz, PCB is now waiting for the order of the Pakistan government before issuing any final decision. Now this matter has reached Pakistan Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif.
According to a report published in Cricbuzz, it is expected that an announcement can be made after the meeting of PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi and Pakistan Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif. It is possible that an announcement may be made by ICC or PCB by the end of the day.
Pakistan had placed 4 big demands before the ICC in the recent meeting. It is being said that ICC is adamant that Pakistan has no basis to make any such demand. The idea has also been put forward by the International Cricket Council that Pakistan should play matches with India under the Members Participation Agreement (MPA) agreement signed in December 2024. In this, a proposal was made to hold the matches between India and Pakistan at neutral venues.
According to the same report, it was claimed that some of the demands of PCB circulating in the media may be accurate, such as resumption of bilateral series with India. There was even a demand to play a bilateral series with Bangladesh. BCB also proposed that a tri-series be conducted between India-Pakistan-Bangladesh.
There is no clarity on how many demands of Pakistan and Bangladesh have been accepted, but restarting the India-Pakistan-Bangladesh tri-series or the bilateral series between them does not come under the jurisdiction of the ICC. It is for BCCI to decide whether to play tri-series or bilateral series with Pakistan and Bangladesh.
