Australian Cricket Board open to hosting a Tri Series involving Australia, India and Pakistan

Ramiz Raja’s proposal of a four nation Twenty20 Super Series has received backing from Australian Cricket Board’s chief Nick Hockley though with slight changes.

Hockley acknowledged that Australia will be keen to host a tri-series with India and Pakistan "Personally, I really like the tri-series concept," he said. "It's worked well in the past. We'd be very open to hosting ... matches. There are really big communities of both India and Pakistan living in Australia. It's a contest that everyone wants to see in world cricket and if we can help support further opportunities we would love to do that."

Pakistan Cricket Board’s chairman originally came up with this stellar idea in January this year and said that the idea is not just to hold a cricket tournament but to generate revenues that can not only be shared among four cricket boards, but to other cricket boards affiliated to the International Cricket Board.  

It would be interesting to see the Indian cricket board’s thoughts on this. They haven’t played a bilateral series against Pakistan since 2012-13. Considering the political climate and the economic tension between the two nations, we do not see this series happening anytime soon.
