Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chief Ijaz Butt has said that India rejected a proposal to equally share revenue from a possible series between both nations.

“We hope the series will be revived and we told them we are ready to play in India,but revenue should be shared 50-50,but they did not accept the proposal,” Geo Super quoted Butt,as saying in an interview.

Pakistan is slated to tour India next February and March in the International Cricket Council (ICC) Future Tour Programme,subject to clearance from both governments.

The ICC’s Pakistan Task Team has also called for the revival of cricket ties between India and Pakistan,saying that its absence is felt by millions of fans across the world.

“We had a detailed discussion with them (the Board of Control for Cricket in India) in Hong Kong last month and hope that something will come out soon,” Butt said.

“Naturally,compared to what we earn when we play any other top country,we earn much more if we play India. But we have to sort out details,but what they say is basically a one-sided affair,” the PCB chief said.
