NEW DELHI: Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary Anurag Thakur on Wednesday ruled out the possibility of an Indo-Pak bilateral series, stating that no such series is scheduled in Futures Tours and Programme (FTP).
While talking to Indian media Thakur said that “In the FTP, we had a series planned in 2015 but there is no series planned in 2016 against Pakistan. India will be playing against them in Asia Cup and the World T20 since they are multinational tournaments. And India has been playing them for many years.”
After the limited-overs series proposed to be held last month did not come through, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) had expressed hope that a bilateral series could happen this year in the United Kingdom.
Last year, a high-profile proposed bilateral series between India-Pakistan was expected to take place in the month of December. But it eventually failed to materialise firstly due to attack on PCB delegation by Shiv Sena extremists and then both the governments could not manage to come on the same page.
