Karachi: The Pakistan Cricket Board is pinning its hopes on BCCI agreeing to play Pakistan, at least at a neutral venue, in August this year in order to boost its financial position.
"In the future tours program India is supposed to tour Pakistan in August. We are hoping that even if they don't tour [the country] for security reasons, they should at least play us at a neutral venue because we badly need revenues from this 'home' series," a source in the board told PTI.
He pointed out that when former chairman Ijaz Butt left in 2011 there was about 4.2 billion rupees in the PCB coffers.
"This was mainly due to an amount of USD 15 million that we received as our hosting and compensation fees from the ICC for the 2011 World Cup," the source said.
