LAHORE: Chief operating officer of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Saleem Altaf said that Sri Lanka is not using any delaying tactic for sending their cricket team to Pakistan.
He said that the schedule of the Pakistan-Sri Lanka series would be announced in two to four days after which a decision on the tour of Bangladesh would be made.
Talking with media at the Gaddafi Stadium, Saleem Altaf said that nothing is being considered regarding a new captain of the Pakistan cricket team.
He said that after the supplementary budget, a meeting of the governing body of the PCB would be held on January 15 in which decision on the captain would be taken.
Saleem Altaf said that as far as the central contract of the players is concerned coach Intikhab Alam has prepared a draft. After getting this draft approved by chairman PCB Ijaz Butt, names of 25 players would be asked from chairman selection committee Abdul Qadir for awarding them the central contracts
.
The chief operating officer PCB said that Mohammad Asif is suspendid due to Dubai and IPL doping cases and thus he is not allowed to play domestic cricket.
He said that Sri Lanka agreed to play two Tests, three One-day Internationals and a Twenty20 match whereas Bangladesh are also ready to reschedule the tour and there is no truth in the news that Sri Lanka is reluctant to visit Pakistan.
