PCB chairman says no hope for Pakistan-India cricket series

The chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), Shahryar Khan said that he did not see any chance of a cricket series between the South Asian neighbours India and Pakistan. Earlier this month, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) wrote a letter to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) seeking confirmation as to whether or not India would play two tests, five one-day and two Twenty20 matches in the United Arab Emirates in December and January. But India has so far not replied and current political tension between the two countries, with frequent ceasefire violations on the Line of Control in the Kashmir region, has cast serious doubt over the first full series between the neighbours since 2007. Khan said the cricket fans on both sides would be left disappointed if the series did not happen.
