There are currently no plans for a test series between India and Pakistan

A number of cricket governing bodies have expressed an interest in organising a test series between India and Pakistan. Australia is the most recent country to be added to the list, which came about as a result of an inquiry that Melbourne Cricket Club (MCC) chief executive Stuart Fox made to Cricket Australia (CA) on the possibility of hosting the Test in Melbourne.

However, according to a source from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), the supreme regulating body of cricket in the country does not intend to organise a Test series between India and Pakistan, two of its most bitter rivals.

“No such plans for India and Pakistan Test series in future or in any country,” a BCCI insider told ANI, “keep it to yourself if you have such a kind of wish.” “No such plans for India and Pakistan Test series in future or in any place.”

Stuart Fox, chief executive officer of the MCC, was quoted as saying on SEN radio on day four of the second test match between Australia and South Africa that the club and the Victorian government had inquired with CA about the possibility of hosting a neutral test. This information was obtained from ESPNcricinfo.

It has been a very long time since India and Pakistan, two of cricket’s most bitter rivals, have competed against one another in a test match. Since 2007, these two nations have not competed against one another in the game’s longest format.

According to ESPNcricinfo, following the success of the classic Twenty20 World Cup 2022 match between India and Pakistan in October, the Melbourne Cricket Club and the Victorian government have made informal inquiries to Cricket Australia (CA) about the possibility of hosting a Test match series between India and Pakistan in Melbourne. These inquiries are in response to the success of the match between India and Pakistan in October.

While India and Pakistan’s most recent contest in a test match took place in 2007, the most recent international series in which both countries took part took place in 2013.

After 90,293 fans packed into the MCG to watch the last-ball thriller in the famous T20 global cup last month, Fox claimed that the MCC would want to host the two countries in Test cricket. This comes after Fox stated that the MCC would love to host the two countries in Test cricket.

“Absolutely. At the MCG, it would be wonderful to see three [Tests] in a succession. You would do that each and every time. We have asked. We have brought this matter to the attention of Cricket Australia.

I am aware that the government of Victoria has also done so. Again, from what I can see, it’s an immensely involved process that’s taking place amidst an extremely hectic timetable. Consequently, I believe that this is the most difficult obstacle, “The comments made by Fox were reported by ESPNcicinfo.

“It would be wonderful if it weren’t just focused on Australia and Victoria, but rather that we catered to all of the countries and kept the stadium full the whole time. As a result, we have inquired.

It is my hope that Cricket Australia will continue to bring it up with the ICC and continue to press for it. When you look around the world and see that some of the stadiums are empty, I think it would be much better to have a full house and that atmosphere and celebrate the game with full homes than it would be to have an empty stadium “Additionally, he added.

On the Future Tours Programme, there were no cricket matches planned to be played between India and Pakistan on a bilateral basis between the years 2023 and 2027.

Despite the fact that Pakistan is set to host the Asia Cup the following year and India will be hosting the ODI World Cup, there has been no official statement regarding the travel arrangements of either side.
