MELBOURNE, JULY 1: The Australian Cricket Board ACB is monitoring the Kargil conflict between India and Pakistan with the three countries due to meet in a limited overs tournament early next year.

Former Indian captain Kapil Dev and Indian Cricket Board president Raj Singh Dungarpur have questioned the future of matches between India and Pakistan because of the Kargil crisis.

India and Pakistan will both play three-match Test series in Australia and then the three nations will play in a one-day series early in 2000.

ACB chief executive Mal Speed is due back on Monday from a trip to inspect security plans for Australia8217;s September tour of Sri Lanka.

A board spokesman declined to speculate on what the ACB might do if cricket relations between Pakistan and India were broken.

Kapil Dev demanded his country severe cricket ties with Pakistan last Tuesday, after visiting Indian troops who had been injured during renewed fighting in Kargil sector of Jammu and Kashmir.
