PCB considers tri-nation T20 series in New Zealand
A report from The News says that everyone is waiting for England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) to confirm the dates of their team’s planned trip to Pakistan as soon as possible. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is looking at different ways to play in the T20 series between Pakistan, New Zealand, and Australia before the World Cup in October. The T20 series between three countries will happen before the World Cup.
An official from the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) told the publication that New Zealand Cricket (NZC) has invited the Pakistani cricket team to participate in the three-nation tournament in the first half of October 2022.
“Yes, I can confirm that the PCB has received an invitation to participate in the three-nation T20 event also involving Bangladesh.” The event is set to be staged in the first half of October in New Zealand, but we are not in a position to confirm or turn down the invitation that we have recently received, “a PCB official added.
The Pakistan Cricket Board does not want to confirm the team’s participation because England’s team will be touring Pakistan at the same time. The England national cricket team will compete in seven Twenty20 Internationals beginning in the third week of September.
“At the same time, we cannot turn down the invitation as it would be an ideal opportunity for our World Cup-bound team to train for the event starting on October 18 in Australia,” the official said.
According to information obtained by ‘The News,’ the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has contacted the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) to obtain an early announcement of the schedule. This will allow Pakistani cricketers to move forward with their plans to compete in the tri-series.
