International cricket will return to Pakistan in 2012: Ashraf
RAHIM YAR KHAN: Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Zaka Ashraf has said that he hopes international cricket will restart in Pakistan in 2012.
Talking to APP, the PCB chairman said that he was visiting India and Bangladesh soon on invitations of their cricket boards.
He also said that in the event of international cricket returning to Pakistan, maximum security will be ensured.
“Foolproof security will be provided to all visiting teams in Pakistan and the provision of security according to ICC standards is our duty,” he added.
Ashraf stressed holding a cricket series between Pakistan and India even if it was at a neutral venue.
He also said that national prestige would be supreme and the PCB would not tolerate corruption, indiscipline and groups in the team. Players, who maintain discipline and perform, will be part of the national team.
Ashraf said the board was setting up a vigilance division to eliminate match fixing and betting.
He said agents of players would have to get clearance from the PCB, adding that it was amending the code of conduct for players and the amended code would be implemented in letter and spirit.
