‘Time running out to prepare for India series’

With only 18 days to go before Team India’s scheduled arrival in the country, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), who are still waiting for final decision by their Indian counterpart, have said they are running out of time for making security arrangements for the series.

“Time is running out fast and it will be difficult for us to make security and logistical arrangements at short notice. We are still waiting for a final answer from the Indian board.

“Until the Indians don’t give an official answer, we can’t say anything or plan ahead. But our priority remains for the series to be held in Pakistan or at other venues,” a senior PCB official said.
