The Pakistan Cricket Board has made is clear that India series is their call only they would decided where India series will be played and also ruled out any chances of the series being played across the border. Pakistan will play India next year in a full bilateral series and with PCB now saying that the series will not be held in India UAE has emerged as the most likely venue. PCB chairman Ijaz Butt said: “Pakistan will not play in India in 2012 as per the ICC FTP (Future Tours Programme) unless India fulfil their prior commitments.” India were scheduled to tour Pakistan for the last two years, but have not fulfilled their commitments due to non clearance from the government. India have also refused to play a series against Pakistan on a neutral venue. Other countries have been playing Pakistan’s home series on neutral venues.
