PCB Chairman to visit India

Karachi: Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Ejaz Butt will visit India later this month or in early December in a desperate bid to ensure that M.S. Dhoni and his teammates arrive here for a full series early next year.

PCB Chief Operating Officer Saleem Altaf said Butt would personally go to India and meet BCCI and government officials to convince them to tour Pakistan as scheduled.

Butt recently met Pakistan Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gillani and also the Indian High Commissioner in Islamabad to discuss the Indian team’s tour and prevent it from being shifted to a neutral or offshore venue.

Sources said Butt would go to India and brief the Indian board officials and government functionaries about the stringent security plan set for the Indian team.

Altaf said Butt would also discuss arrival of the Indian security delegation to review the security arrangements for the Indian tour. — PTI
