Pakistan pushes for thaw in India ties

Why only PCB is pushing for it? The push has to come from the other side of the border as well. I would rather see Pak players and for that matter other international players playing international cricket matches. Events like IPL and Champions League are killing the international competition. The intensity in the international matches is going down since a lot of players are playing together in these T20 events and therefore creating friendships and soft corners. There is nothing wrong with friendships but friendship must be left behind on the cricket field.

well matches must be played between pakistan and india.and i don't think its the BCCI that is refusing to play with pakistan but the indian government.and what could be better series from financial point of view.PCB and BCCI will not get a such income generating series playing even with australia.so even if aneutral venue is a consideration,its good to have pak-india cricket.

I dont know where is the cricket stadium built by a Pakistani inSouth Florida?. A multi purpose stadium with a cricket pitch was there in the Broaward County and that was built by the Broward County Parks and Recreation Department.It was just premature about the Pak-India Series at a neutral place. Even for a one game there had to be money generated through paid entrance. The prevailing economic conditions at the moment wont bring business tycoons to throw there money away for cricket. Bringing Windies former cricketers to South Florida wasn't a big problem for some of them had very close ties in the region, but bringing a star studded current Pakistan and Indian teams was a big task and needed huge amount of money. Let us see if it gets materialised after all we love to see real International CRICKET in South Florida.

Pakistan must be allowed to play against India. It will be a good match and the crowds will be high but as we all know pakistan will win as they are in a good form where as India are already losing to Australia and are not performining as well.

I think it will be excellent to see the likes of yuvraj and afriddi batting together. We must remember that the IPL is supposed to be about leagues where first preference is given to entertainment, not to nationality and such. let the Pakistani's play, what harm can it do?

i dont know what is wrong with PCB.. look at the current australian side, indian side, even england side.they are getting huge amount of their leading bowler casualities and they cant imagine what is going wrong with them... i was looking at 5th match of australia vs india series and it was shocking to know that they both teams have got only 1 full time bowler who has played more than 50 ODI. indian and australian attack were below their normal powers. at the moment its only Pakistan, which has front line bowler and they are winning matches from bowling. i will have no reason to watch cricket if our bowlers are having injured, just becuase of IPL , ICL and champion leagues.......... why dont PCB think about it, its indian board who is making money from it, what will our board get from all this..........i think the same what australia is getting now.....injuries injuries injuries... please think about this aspect too

Its great that Pakistan and India may well be playing in Florida and being a Floridian, I am very excited to hear this news. I think the reason behind selecting Florida as a venue could be that there are couple of business tycoons who take very close interest in cricket and for that reason they have constructed an amazing stadium here in South Florida as well. This stadium has already been used for lot of charity and exhibition matches and names like Javed Miandad and some other famous names from Caribbean have also played here. I am looking forward to Pakistan and India clash here. It is going to be amazing.

Florida would be a great location for us livign in USA. I am surprised though, why Florida only. NJ/NY tri-state area has a huge Indian/Pakistani population. They do have some grounds as well, not sure if it is good enough for a one-day game. Florida is too hot in summers. If India were to have a series, they could do it in Summers in northern USA, which has lovely playing conditions during May/June

Although a good sign, I believe it is slightly premature. Add to that, picking Pakistani players isn't the most popular idea for the franchises with passion of the Indian fans running high, to be honest. I say IPL 4 is the right time for the ties to be restored.
