Karachi, Sept. 2: India and Pakistan could play a one-day series in North America after next year’s World Cup, a top Pakistan Cricket Board official said on Saturday.

PCB Chairman Shaharyar Khan said a proposal had been floated for such a series under the agreement between the two countries to play a minimum of 15 one-day internationals in the next five years at off-shore venues.

"We are keen to play India at those off-shore venues where there are a large number of a Pakistan and Indian expatriates. Canada and the United States in this regard are ideal locations," he said.

But Shaharyar made it clear that if such a series was held after the World Cup, it would have to be done ensuring the future tours programme of the International Cricket Council was not disturbed.

"We need ICC clearance to host this series. But we are keen and we will work out the details of television rights and financial aspects of the proposed series in North America," he said.
