‘We are open to host Pakistan, India in a tri-series’ Nick Hockley

RAWALPINDI: The CEO of Cricket Australia (CA) Nick Hockley revealed that he is open to the concept of hosting Pakistan and India for a tri-series.

According to the Australian media, Hockley acknowledged the concept of tri-series and also said that it ‘worked really well in the past’.

“Personally, I really like the tri-series concept. It has worked well in the past,” he said.

“We would be very open to hosting matches. There are really big communities of both India and Pakistan living in Australia. It is a contest that everyone wants to see in world cricket and if we can help support further opportunities we would love to do that,” he added.

It is apropos to mention here that Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB)’s chairman Ramiz Raja has hinted to propose a quadrilateral series involving India, Pakistan, England, and Australia.

Furthermore, the two arch-rivals India and Pakistan have not played a bilateral series since Pakistan last toured India in 2012. The two rivals lock horns only in ICC events and Asia Cup’s fixtures.
