Indian cricket fans might be in for a treat as reports suggest a fantastic tri-series featuring India, Australia and Pakistan in 2024. CEO of Cricket Australia (CA), has expressed interest in hosting a tri-series featuring Asian rivals.
The idea of India-Pakistan series in Australia has been a topic to be discussed for a while. Cricket Australia (CA) was reportedly keen to host such a match.
“Pakistan and India are traditional rival teams; there is a lot of excitement for their matches,” Hockley said as per Cricket Australia statement.
“To the extent that we’d be able to facilitate or help in that, we would be very open to do so. However, the final decision rests with the respective cricket boards of India and Pakistan,” he added.
Die hard cricket fans will remember Australia hosted India vs Pakistan for a tri-series way back in 1999-2000, where Australia defeated Pakistan and won the competition in a ‘best of three’ final, by winning the first two matches.
All of this is still in initial stage without any official confirmation yet. The final decision will likely depend on approval of BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) and PCB (Pakistan Cricket Board). along with consideration from CA (Cricket Australia).
This is not the first time this type of proposition has been brought up. In March, Peter Roach, CA’s cricket operations manager said, “It’s fair to say that every country in the world would love to see India and Pakistan competing in their country. We’re on record ad saying that we’re one of those countries that have asked the question.”
