Chairman Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Ehsan Mani on Monday invited the England cricket team to visit Pakistan and play a series as it was 'safe' in the country to do so.
"England should visit Pakistan and play a series," he said, adding: "No country is risk-free, but conditions are improving in Pakistan now."
England's series is in 2022, we would like for Britain to visit Pakistan, Mani added.
Last month, PCB's chief executive Wasim Khan had said that sending the Pakistan cricket team on a tour to England during the coronavirus pandemic was quite a tough decision, but "cricket and COVID-19 will have to co-exist".
The PCB official, while speaking to Geo News, said that the situation became quite tense when cricket team players started testing positive for COVID-19.
"However," the official said, "for the restoration of world cricket and to keep it on track, it is imperative to continue with matches."
“COVID-19 and cricket will have to co-exist, there was no other reason for this decision other than the [revival of] global cricket,” he added.
