India-Pakistan Test Series Likely In 2015

Pakistan's conditional support for the ICC revamp hinges on the promise of six series against India, including a 'home' series in the Middle East as part of the upcoming, reworked eight-year FTP cycle from 2015 to 2023, ESPNcricinfo has learnt.

The change in the PCB's stance has taken place on the condition that Pakistan would be involved in bilateral series against all Full Members, including India. If officially slotted into the eight-year FTP, this could also involve a 'home' series for Pakistan against India in the United Arab Emirates. The PCB is now waiting for a final go ahead from the BCCI following its Working Committee meeting - which is expected to take place in the next 15 days - in order to enable the PCB to work out a long-term broadcasting deal with regular India series at its centre.
