'Pak should either play in Ahmedabad or cancel series'
Ahmedabad will continue with its preparations till it has got an official word from the BCCI, Gujarat Cricket Academy president Narhari Amin said.
The Gujarat Cricket Academy on Monday said the Pakistan cricket team should either agree to play in Ahmedabad or call off its upcoming tour of India.
"I will raise this issue in the next BCCI meeting on February 16. Our message (to PCB) is clear -- either play in Ahmedabad or call off the entire series," GCA President Narhari Amin told PTI.
Amin said the GCA was yet to get an official intimation about the Pakistan Cricket Board rejecting Ahmedabad as a Test or one-day venue for the much-awaited series between the arch rivals.
PCB Chairman Shaharyar Khan had on Monday cited "political reasons" for not wanting to play in Ahmedabad.
"What kind of political reasons are they citing. If it is the post-Godhra communal riots that he (Shaharyar) is indicating, then I would like to know as to after how many years will they pardon Gujarat?" Amin asked.
The GCA, however, will continue with its preparations for the series till it got an official word from the BCCI, he added.
The GCA, along with senior police officers had shown all facilities at the Sardar Patel ground at Motera and all related arrangements for players to Zakhir Khan and Sohail Khan, the two-member security assessment team of PCB, on January 29.
