One day…..and I’m afraid that’s where the story ends; at least for the foreseeable future anyway. With the “postponement” of Australia’s tour to Pakistan, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has filled the gap with a one-day international (ODI) series and a twent20 game against Bangladesh. But where have all the test matches gone?
After the above series, Pakistan will be involved in the Asia cup at home which precedes the International Cricket Council’s (ICC) Champions Trophy which is also to be held in Pakistan provided there are no security issues. In December, India will (hopefully) arrive for a 3-test 5-ODI series. This would mean that this is the only test series Pakistan would have played since December 2007 which was also against India. This equates to a whole year without test cricket. Is test cricket not the most important and highly regarded form of the game? It doesn’t seem that way to the ICC and the PCB.
