Karachi, Feb 12 (PTI) After the cash-rich Indian Premier League, it is the Pakistan Cricket Board which is now exploring the possibility of organising cricket matches for the national team in the United States. With teams refusing to tour the troubled country due to security concerns, Pakistan has become completely isolated as a cricketing nation. Pakistan''s problems were further compounded when the International Cricket Council moved the nation''s share of 2011 World Cup matches to co-host countries India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh following last year''s terrorist attack on the visiting Lankan team. Since then, Pakistan has been hosting international teams at neutral venues. PCB chairman Ejaz Butt and chief operating officer Wasim Bari met USA Cricket (USACA) officials led by chief executive Donald Lockerbie on the sidelines of the two-day ICC meeting that ended yesterday in Dubai. "PCB Wasim Bari held a meeting with USA Cricket Association (USACA) officials to discuss organising match series in USA in 2010. The matches will feature the defending ICC World T20 champions," the PCB said in a statement. MORE PTI Cor SSC
