Again Pakistan Cricket Board is doing all its efforts for calling Indian team to Pak, but at present situation, no one in India is ready for Pakistan tour. After terrorist attack at Mumbai, Indian government will not give green signal to Indian team at any coast. The Asian Cricket Council (ACC) has urged India to go ahead with its tour of Pakistan next year, saying that canceling the series would be disastrous for the game in the sub-continent. but ACC chief executive Syed Ashraful Haque also said the council wants to see India touring Pakistan but admitted that it can't get involved in the issue as it was a matter between the two governments.

As far as we know, both boards are willing to play the series, Haque said. but Indian people is not ready for any cost st present situation.
