Shorter home series for Pakistan against India


While Pakistan will play six series against India in the next Future Tours Programme (FTP) cycle, three of their home series will only consist of two Test matches each, according to an ESPNCricinforeport.

Pakistan will play a total of 6 Tests at home against India, while they are set to play 20 ODIs and 6 T20Is at home against their arch-rivals from January 2015 till January 2023.
While both boards have agreed to the series, which has also been drafted in the FTP, cricket between the two nations will be only possible after government clearances. Also, Pakistan's first home series against India next year is likely to be played in United Arab Emirates.
During the next FTP cycle, Pakistan will play a total of 77 Test matches, which include 14 against Australia and 16 against England.

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chief Najam Sethi, on the sidelines of International Cricket Council (ICC) annual conference in Melbourne last moth, had mentioned his country will earn 450 million dollars from the next eight-year cycle, and the bulk of the money will come from the home series against India.
Sethi was also included in the ICC Executive Committee (ExCo) for one year along with WICB chairman Alan Hurst, with India, Australia and England as the permanent members.
