Will give appropriate reply to Pak: Shukla

The BCCI has put up a calm frontier to Pakistan Cricket Board’s legal notice, claiming Rs 447 crore in compensation, for not honouring the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the two countries.

Senior official Rajeev Shukla said the BCCI would be sending an appropriate response to the notice before raising questions on Pakistan’s security situation.

“We will give appropriate response. We have had a consistent policy that we will play on each other's soil. Pakistan's security situation is not such where you can have a series on their soil. Only Zimbabwe has played a series. No other country is touring Pakistan because they are not able to provide adequate security,” Shukla told reporters on Sunday.


 “When it comes to India, the security concerns are even more. How can we risk our players?”

The BCCI has maintained that on playing Pakistan only government can take a call, a sentiment which was echoed by BCCI acting secretary Amitabh Chaudhary.

“The BCCI has already written to government in March regarding Future Tours & Programmes (FTP). So unless we get permission from them, I can't make a comment,” he said.
