While talking to the media in a conference, PCB Chairman Najam Sethi added; “five full-member ICC countries and one qualifier will play the tournament in next year April,” adding, “I hope India will come to play the tournament.”

Sethi said that the schedule of West Indies tour to Pakistan will be finalised in a day or two, with more than one venue being a part of the plan.

He further said;

“We are happy to be here in Lahore. We are here to support good cricket, Pakistan is a big cricket-playing country which cant be ignored. We have seen extraordinary security here. We will come again for our cricket fans here,” the board chief said.

“It’s an honour to play in Pakistan. One wins and another looses in cricket but what matters is that brotherly relations should be maintained between both the countries.”
