In a significant development for cricket fans in the subcontinent, Cricket Australia’s Chief Executive Nick Hockley has expressed a strong desire to facilitate a high-profile tri-series involving India and Pakistan. This move comes amidst growing excitement for the long-awaited clash between these traditional rivals, which has always been a major attraction in the cricketing world.
During an online press conference, Nick Hockley highlighted the immense enthusiasm that surrounds India-Pakistan encounters. “Pakistan and India are traditional rival teams; there is a lot of excitement for their matches,” he remarked.
He further elaborated that Cricket Australia is keen to support and assist in organizing both bilateral and tri-series with these nations. “We are ready to support both teams for a bilateral and a tri-series,” Nick Hockley added, emphasizing Cricket Australia’s readiness to facilitate these high-stakes matches.
“We would be happy to play a role in the revival of Pakistan-India bilateral series,” said Hockley, reflecting Cricket Australia’s eagerness to bring these two cricketing giants together on the same pitch.
However, Hockley mentioned that any such plans would require coordination between the respective cricket boards and governments of India and Pakistan. “The two boards need to decide first, and we will assist in hosting,” he said, adding that formal discussions have yet to take place due to the busy schedules of the cricket boards involved.
