PCB wants Malaysia as home series venue

LAHORE: Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is mulling to make Malaysia a centre for future home series after the UAE authorities demanded a long-term agreement. This, PCB chief Najam Sethi revealed this in an interview with the Geo News. Sethi said that he will be travelling to Malaysia next month to assess the availability of stadiums and allied facilities necessary for organising an international cricket series. The Emirates cricket authorities were asking for a long-term deal which was not possible for us, he added. “Pakistan is organising the PSL-3 in the UAE during the months of February and March, and as Afghanistan are also planning their own leagues in January it will become difficult for us to continue our cricket in the UAE,” said Sethi. “Also the expenses incurred on the series in Malaysia are half that of UAE,” said he added.
