India's short tour to Pakistan postponed
by Pakistan Cricket Board
DateLine: 24th February 2008
Media Release - 24 February 2008
The short tour of the Indian Cricket Team to Pakistan comprising 3 ODIs
which was proposed to be played in mid March 2008 has been postponed.
Mr Sharad Pawar, President BCCI in a telephone call to the Chairman PCB
earlier today stated that despite BCCI's keenness for this tour to take
place, due to the fatigue of Indian players who have been playing non-stop
international Cricket for last three months, and the very short interval
between the end of India's tour to Australia and their next commitment
against South Africa at home starting on 20th March, it practically became
impossible to squeeze in a short tour to Pakistan at this time. India
however promised to find time to play this short series any time before the
Champions Trophy in September 2008.
This short series was not originally part of the Future Tours Program but
was proposed by PCB keeping in view the uncertainty of the Australian tour
to Pakistan.
