Since India hosted Pakistan during a bilateral restricted overs series in 2013 the try has solely competed against each other at 20 and 50-overs World Cups and therefore the Asia Cup.
The last time they met was at the T20 World Cup in October this year. Where over 90,000 fans cumulous into the Melbourne Cricket Ground to observe India win a last-ball thriller.
MCC Chief government Stuart Fox the atmosphere at that match showed there would be no downside filling the venue. It is encouraging to look at the series between India vs Pakistan.
“The atmosphere for that game, I’ve never felt something like it,” Fox told station SEN. The noise when each ball was phenomenal. 3 tests during a row would be pretty at the MCG, you’d fill it every time.
“We’ve taken that up with Cricket Australia. I do know the (Victoria) government has as well. It’s staggeringly sophisticated from what I will understand, amongst a very busy schedule. Therefore, I feel that is in all probability the bigger challenge.”
Fox said he hoped Cricket Australia would keep pushing the proposal with the International Cricket Council, the sport’s international governing body.
“When you are doing see a number of the stadiums around the world unoccupied. I feel it’d be far better to own a poker hand which atmosphere and celebrating the sport with full houses.” Fox added.
Let us see how things will go further in this matter soon. It is expected to happen with the same fun and excitement for all cricket lovers across the globe. This is obvious.
