Karachi: PCB chairman Shaharyar Khan said on Friday that former England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) chief Giles Clarke was in favour of resumption of bilateral ties between India and Pakistan in December.

"Clarke believes that a Pakistan-India series is vital for the game and he is also talking to the BCCI chief and I have told him that he has no need to convince us, convince the BCCI. We are trying to make some progress with India and we can only unveil our plan B when it is confirmed the series will not be held with India," Shaharyar said. Clarke is currently president of ECB.

Clarke was due to reach Dubai on the invitation of PCB to watch the Pakistan versus England one-day match and then fly to Lahore for a visit with a security expert but has apparently cancelled his visit due to personal reasons.
The chairmen of PCB and BCCI - Shaharyar Khan and Shashank Manohar - are scheduled to meet in Dubai over the weekend.
