Pakistan Cricket Board chief, Najam Sethi insists that India must play Pakistan in a bilateral series if Pakistan wins the case against BCCI for not respecting the MoU. PCB has filed a compensation case with ICC dispute resolution committee, stating that BCCI didn’t respect the MoU signed in 2014.

A BCCI official has come down hard on PCB for making multiple statements regarding bilateral ties but failing to control their players for "indiscriminate actions" against India. The official also added that the Indian board will keep on listening to the government as far as Pakistan is concerned.

PCB president Najam Sethi feels that resumption of the bilateral cricketing ties between India and Pakistan is solely dependent on India's will and they are ready to host India in the UAE. He has also questioned the Indian government's role in stopping the two countries from playing each other.

Najam Sethi has claimed that all the ICC members want to play against India as it helped them generate maximum revenue. He has also reiterated his stance on the India-Pakistan series and said that if India couldn't fulfil the contract agreement, then they should not have signed the MoU. `

Indian Cricket Board has registered their objection against Pakistan who got the hosting rights for the Asian Emerging Nations Cup cricket in April next year. The BCCI claimed that before announcing the venue of the event, it was not consulted with them in which India is supposed to take part.
