India-Pak Series Starting to lose interest

[Ahmed_B]

The Fan's interest in India-Pakistan Cricket sereis is found to have lost a lot of interest because it has been occuring too frequently (twice already within last 6 monthes). Earlier, these two countries had decided to play some extra series in addition to the ICC's FTP schedule... as they expected to have big financial success from it. But figures show that the very recnet IND-PAK series earned 22 crore Rupees wheras the immediate earlier one earned 30 crore Rupees. BCCI & Pak Cricket board are now fearing that playing these series too often may cause big financial losses and lack of interest in future series. It may even affect the Asia Cup matches in future between Ind & Pak.
