India and Pakistan are likely to lock horns in a one day international cricket
match at the neutral venue of Glasgow in Scotland in the first week of
July.
A leading Asian broadcaster, which has earlier arranged India V Pakistan
match in Canada, has been surveying location for the encounter, according to a
report in 'The Scotsman'.
"The proposed India-Pakistan encounter is being promoted
by one of Asia's leading broadcast networks, who have staged similar events
in Canada which have attracted big crowds of exiles," the report
said.
"And over the past two days, technical representatives from the company
have been surveying both locations as part of their advanced planning process,"
it said.
It is believed that the big game will take place on July 4,
two days after Scotland square up to Pakistan.
"The Pakistani authorities are keen to have an extra match
because they don't fancy the idea of coming in cold against India in
British conditions.
"Arrangements have still to be finalised, but both matches would be held
at the same venue because the facilities would be in place," it said.
The matches are likely to go ahead either Clydesdale's Titwood
ground, or New Anniesland - home of Glasgow Accies - early in July.
