The Pakistan Cricket Board has announced that it will continue hosting its major tournaments in United Arab Emirates after cooperation from Emirates Cricket Board.

According to a joint statement by the PCB and ECB, both the boards held prolific negotiations on matters of mutual interest. The summit was held between PCB chief Najam Sethi and officials of the ECB.

The statement further said the ECB has agreed to a noteworthy lessening of costs to PCB for holding these tournaments with instantaneous effect.

The ECB also approved to not host any league while PCB is hosting its tournaments, including Pakistan Super League, in the UAE.

The PCB has agreed with ECB’s decision of hosting a T20 and a T10 league in December-January as there won’t be any PCB fixtures during that time.

“The ECB will host a T20 and T10 league from December 10, 2018, to January 10, 2018, when there are no PCB fixtures in the UAE,” the statement added.
