If new reports are anything to go by and the PCB chairman, Shaharyar Khan, is to be believed, India and Pakistan are set to resume rivalries by the end of 2015. PCB chairman Shaharyar Khan has said Pakistan will play India in a full series in the UAE in December. Shaharyar was speaking in Kolkata, after meeting with BCCI president Jagmohan Dalmiya.
“We resume the India-Pak series in UAE. This is the re-beginning of the revival of Indo-Pak cricket,” Shaharyar Khan said. “The series will start in December as per schedule and it will comprise three Tests, five ODIs and two T20s. The preparation is on in full swing. We have to overcome the final hurdle. You may know as per the MOU there will be five series between the two countries in eight years.”
