TIL Desk Sports/ Former Pakistan skipper Zaheer Abbas has called on the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to adopt England as a neutral venue for its home series instead of the UAE, which is not serving the purpose really well. The PCB has been mulling changing the UAE as their adopted venue because of high cost and is looking to opt for Bangladesh, England or South Africa as its venue for home series.
Reflecting on the same, the 69-year-old said that the country’s cricket board should replace UAE with England as it would help Pakistan batsmen as well as bowlers to get familiar with the lively playing conditions of the country. “In England, our team will also find a good number of fans who live there.
Abbas also suggested that Bangladesh would not be a suitable option because of the same Asian environment and slow wickets, while also considering the English conditions as the better option for Pakistan players than the South African one. Abbas comments came following Pakistan’s disappointing performance on the second day of the ongoing opening Test of the three-match series against Australia at the Gabba.
