After the ICC, the Pakistan Cricket Board appears to have problems with BCCI vice-president Lalit Modi and is contemplating a serious discussion with the Indian Board in this regard.
According to reliable sources, PCB officials will approach BCCI president Sharad Pawar and senior officials in the next few days regarding Modi8217;s failure to confirm off-shore series against Pakistan.
8220;Despite several reminders, he has not bothered to inform us if the Indian Board has scheduled any matches against us at off-shore venues in the next two years,8221; said a PCB source. 8220;We have heard from other sources that the Indians are planning series against other teams in this period but not against us,8221; he added.
PCB chairman Nasim Ashraf and Director Cricket Operations, Saleem Altaf, would be in India for the next 10 days for the Champions Trophy and other meetings of the Asian and International cricket bodies.
Modi has also been at loggerheads with the ICC over India8217;s failure to sign the participating nations agreement for future ICC tournaments. The Indian Board marketing head sold television and sponsorship rights of off-shore games, including a minimum of 15 against Pakistan, for over 600 million dollars.
Pakistan will submit dates for the next Asia Cup at an ACC meeting in India on October 29, with the tournament planned in the second and third week of April in 2008. 8220;We have finalised the dates and have also informed the ACC. They just have to be ratified at the ACC meeting,8221; he said.
