The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has said that it was committed to hosting a full India-Pakistan series in December this year in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and rejected reports that it was ready to revive the bilateral series on Indian soil.

The PCB issued this statement in response to the report published in the Indian publication which claimed that Shahryar Khan had agreed to organise the series on Indian soil as it would be more cost-effective and would like to make India their home, the Dawn reported.

The statement issued by PCB said that they would like to clarify that the board remained committed to the MOU signed with BCCI in which India had agreed to play the first Pak- India series in UAE this December.

It also said that the PCB remained resolute in expecting BCCI to abide by the rules.

The Pakistan-India tour will comprise three Tests, five one-dayers and two Twenty20 games.
