Ramiz Raja to discuss four-nation series proposal with Sourav Ganguly

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Ramiz Raja has said that he will discuss his proposal to launch a four-nation ODI tournament with BCCI President Sourav Ganguly.

The Asian Cricket Council (ACC) meeting is scheduled in Dubai on March 19 and Ramiz will talk to Ganguly on this proposal in detail.

Former Pakistan captain revealed in January 2022 that he will propose an annual quadrangular series involving India, Pakistan, England and Australia in the next ICC meeting.

While speaking to reporters at the National Stadium in Karachi during the second Test between Pakistan and Australia, Ramiz said that he wants to make sure that players from India and Pakistan get to play each other more often and increase revenue for other members nations in the ICC.

"I will talk to Sourav Ganguly about it when we meet for the ACC meeting in Dubai. Both of us are former captains and players and for us cricket is not about politics," he said.

"Even if India does not go with us on this proposal, we will think about launching an annual three-nation event with Australia and England in Pakistan," he added.

Remember, BCCI showed no interest in Raja's proposal and secretary Jay Shah said the interests of the chief of cricket bodies across the globe should be on expanding the game of cricket and it is more important than "short-term commercial initiatives"

Meanwhile, the ACC members will finilise the dates of Asia Cup in Sri Lanka during the meeting. The competition will likely be played before the ICC World T20 Cup in Australia scheduled in October-November.
