It is important to involve famous cricketers and legends in this process. The chairman’s suggestion to include these personalities is good. We have discussed with some former legends. We will soon announce the names of those who will help take the game forward.

This defeat proved very costly for the Pakistani team and after losing to the US, the team was eliminated from the tournament.

He has made this proposal in view of the enthusiasm in India-Pakistan matches. Hockley said, “Pakistan and India are traditional rival teams, there is a lot of excitement about their matches. To the extent that we can facilitate or help in this (tri-series), we are ready to do so. However, the final decision depends on the respective cricket boards of India and Pakistan.” From Hockley’s statement, it is believed that Cricket Australia is trying to bridge the gap between the two countries by making this proposal. Which will provide fans the experience of an exciting match between India and Pakistan apart from the ICC tournament by using Australia’s neutral venue.
