PCB banking on India

Karachi: Pakistan Cricket Board is counting on support from India to prevent the ICC from shifting the Champions Trophy to some other venue in view of growing security concerns.

Sources said PCB was confident of hosting the mega event because India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Zimbabwe are supporting the Board with the West Indies also willing to play here. “If (India) keeps on supporting Pakistan then there is every chance of other ICC members agreeing to play,” the source said. — PTI
