Pak likely to tour India for one-off match this year: Ashraf

Ashraf, who returned to Lahore after a week-long visit to India, said he wanted to develop a kind of relationship with the Indian Cricket Board (BCCI) that in future instead of playing their matches at neutral venues, Pakistan could tour India.

"We want to establish exemplary relations with the Indian board," Ashraf told the 'Express' newspaper.

Ashraf, who held meetings with BCCI officials during his visit to India, said due to the hectic international calendar of both teams it didn't appear possible to have a full bilateral series this year.

"Hopefully within this month we could be in a position to announce the date for a one-off bilateral match that Pakistan will go and play in India," he said.

The PCB has been striving to convince the BCCI to restore bilateral cricketing ties that were discontinued after the Mumbai terror attacks in 2008. (MORE)
