PCB boss, Ijaz Butt has stated that the Pakistan team will have a very busy schedule in 2010. The ICC  has promised to keep Pakistan engaged even if it takes a few years for the return of internationals to the country.

“It was a very fruitful meeting as all the members expressed their full cooperation in honouring their international commitments with Pakistan in years to come,” The News quoted Butt, as saying after his meeting with ICC Task Force.

“The coming year would be one of the most beneficial one for Pakistan cricket as ICC Task Force has assured all kind of support to keep Pakistan busy till the time international cricket returns back in the country,” he added.

India were schedule to visit Pakistan last season to play a return series but the continuous volatile political relation between the two countries forced the respective boards to look for other options.

“The ICC Task Force has chalked their plan on Pakistan’s international commitments, which also includes a series against India. However, they would refer their findings to ICC for further action,” he said.

“As far as the Indian series in concerned, I am hopeful that something would come up very soon,” he added

The Aussie cricket players are looking to smash the West Indies inside three days again.

“I don’t think any match you want to drag out and play to the end, it’s about getting it over with as soon as you can get it done and that’s what we want to do,” Fox Sports quoted Siddle, as saying on Wednesday.

“That was a good choice by us to send them back in the other day and because we were on top of them really keep it going and see how well we could do it. In the end it paid off, got it done in three days and it was a perfect result and gave everyone those extra few days to rest-up,” he added.
