Pakistan ODI plan news to Snedden
Lynn McConnell - 17 September 2001

Pakistan's plans to host New Zealand on a seven-match One-Day International tour if the international situation allows a tour are news to NZC chief executive Martin Snedden.

A report published in The Hindu, in India, says the Pakistan and New Zealand boards are discussing an extended one-day tour to compensate for financial losses caused after New Zealand withdrew from its Test and ODI tour in the wake of last week's tragedy in New York.

The Indian report claims that Pakistan Cricket Board marketing manager Zahid Bashir said the talks were "at an advanced stage."

Snedden today said he knew nothing about the plan.

The short tour would help Pakistan avoid financial losses of about $3.5million.

Zahid added: "...the circumstances surrounding the cancellation were beyond anybody's control. But at the same time, after the loss of the India series, the idea of losing a further $3.5 million and television rights did not look good for the board's account books."

A deadline of Friday next week has been set as the point of no return for New Zealand being available to tour Pakistan in some form.

In the meantime Snedden has been in communication with the Australian Cricket Board in a bid to get matchplay for the CLEAR Black Caps over and above the games already scheduled.

But he is still waiting to hear back from the ACB.
