Cricket Australia has announced its intention to host a triangular match between India, Pakistan and Australia in Australia.
India and Pakistan will not play cricket together after 2012-13 due to the political situation. The two countries clash only in ICC and Asian Cricket Council matches. Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Rameez Raja is trying to change this situation. In January, Rameez Raja announced on Twitter that he was planning to host the T20 tournament between India, Pakistan, Australia and England and would discuss it at the ICC meeting. Rameez Raja has been making arrangements for the tournament to be held every year as India and Pakistan often clash in international matches, which will generate more revenue.
In this situation, Cricket Australia has expressed its desire to hold the triangular match between India, Pakistan and Australia in Australia. Hockley, CEO of Cricket Australia in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, told reporters:
I really like the triangular competition. Well held in the past. We are eager to host the triangular match between India, Pakistan and Australia. Australia is home to a large number of Indians and Pakistanis. Everyone is eager to watch the match between India and Pakistan. We are ready to run this. He said all tickets for the match between India and Pakistan at the Melbourne Stadium on October 23 had been sold out.
