Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Ramiz Raja is all set to propose an annual quadrangular series involving India, Pakistan, England and Australia in the next ICC meeting in a bid to play regular international cricket against India.
According to Code Sports Australia, the four-nation tournament will be proposed by the former Pakistan captain in the T20I format.
The arch-rivals Pakistan and India have been deprived of playing bilateral cricket due to worsening political conditions. They last played series in India back in 2012/13.
During Najam Sethi's regime, both cricket boards planned to play six series during the 2015-23 cycle but it didn't happen.
Pakistan and India have only played in ICC and ACC tournaments since 2013.
On the other hand, Ramiz told the publication that there is huge anticipation in Pakistan ahead of the Australian tour and that he has been heartened by recent comments from Pakistan-born Aussie batter Usman Khawaja as he privately urges teammates to travel to Pakistan.
Australia are due to visit Pakistan for three Tests, three one day internationals and one T20 international starting in early March. Cricket Australia (CA) are committed to the tour going ahead; the first visit of the Aussie side to the country since 1998.
The 58-year-old, in a tweet, explained that the 'Four Nations T20I Super Series' will be hosted every year by each nation on a rotation basis. A separate revenue model with profits will be shared on a percentage basis with all ICC members.
"Think we have a winner," confident Ramiz concludes his tweet.
Hello fans.Will propose to the ICC a Four Nations T20i Super Series involving Pak Ind Aus Eng to be played every year,to be hosted on rotation basis by these four. A separate revenue model with profits to be shared on percentage basis with all ICC members, think we have a winner.
