"BCCI Can't...": Upon Arrival From Lahore, Board President Roger Binny Says This On Resuming India vs Pakistan Bilateral Series

BCCI President Roger Binny could not stop gushing over the warm and friendly treatment they received in Pakistan on their short visit to the neighbouring nation while Board Vice President Rajeev Shukla asserted that cricket could be the bridge between the two countries that share a tense diplomatic relation. Binny and Shukla returned to India via the the Attari-Wagah border on Wednesday after watching Asia Cup matches on Pakistan Cricket Board's invitation.

It was first instance in 17 years that the two BCCI office bearers travelled to Pakistan. They had crossed the border on Monday.

"We had a very good meeting in Pakistan. We received very good hospitality. They took care of us very well. The main agenda was to watch cricket and to sit and discuss things with them. Overall, it was a very good trip," Binny told PTI after their arrival.

"Pakistan treated us very well, they went out of the way to make us comfortable."

The two countries compete against each other only in ICC or ACC events as bilateral cricket ties have been suspended due to diplomatic tension between the two nations.
