The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is trying their best to convince Cricket Australia to send their team for a Test series in Pakistan in 2022, as per the CEO Wasim Khan.

“Cricket Australia has agreed in principle to play three Tests in Pakistan’s home series. Obviously, we are doing everything to ensure Australia agrees to play in Pakistan in 2022 and it is an ongoing process,” Khan said to the reporters. “It is unfortunate that we are among those countries who play the least number of Test matches in a season. Whereas other leading nations play 8 to 14 Tests in a year we don’t even get six to seven.”

Wasim Khan also confirmed that the PCB has dispatched the proposal of the ICC Test Championship Tests to the Bangladesh Cricket Board already and the games to be played in January.

“We have sent the itinerary and are awaiting a response. After Sri Lanka’s arrival to play the two Tests we don’t foresee any problems in the Bangladesh board agreeing to send their team in January,” he said.

However, he confirmed that the top security arrangements would be provided to the teams. Wasim Khan also said that the PCB would now send Pakistan A team and under-19 teams every year to either of the following countries, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, and England so that the youngsters will get a chance to play in those conditions.

He further added that the PCB was also in talks with the other cricket boards like Afghanistan, Ireland and South African to convince them to send their teams to Pakistan in future.

“They are issues which can’t be discussed or finalized on phone or mails. I will let everyone know why I went to Australia soon. And I am not the most powerful person in the board it is a wrong impression. Misbah-ul-Haq also does not take decisions unilaterally as head coach and chief selector,” Khan concluded.
