The ECB should not feel insecure. They have strict security at all the grounds.

The ICC has asked us to give several details and we need time for that. But we are confident after having already individually notified the ICC about our intentions.

For the last four years we have had to cajole and implore teams to visit Pakistan and play at our venues. Most of them have shunned Karachi for security reasons.

Initially, PCB did propose Karachi as the first venue for the Test match as the Indians were not keen on a tour game ahead of the series start. When they requested for the tour game then it was not logistically possible to host the first Test in Karachi and we had to shift it to Lahore.

Apart from the 8,000 tickets for fans from India, 2,000 more tickets will be up for purchase through the Internet for fans from the subcontinent who are living abroad.

It's wrong to say that we wanted dead wickets.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India has confirmed India will be touring Pakistan from the first week of January next year.

The weather conditions led to the pitches for the first two tests being dead tracks.

Even if something has been implied in any statement we will pursue it with the match referee.

Every corner of the world wants to host India and Pakistan matches but for us finance is not the only consideration.
