Talk about pointless offers. If indeed one was made in the first place. Which SportzPower seriously doubts. The England & Wales Cricket Board has reportedly offered to host a men's cricket Test between Pakistan and India.

As per reports, Martin Darlow, the ECB's deputy chair, has been in Pakistan for England's ongoing T20 international series and has floated the idea to PCB chair Ramiz Raja during his visit. As for Raja, he has reportedly been decidedly cool to the proposal. Hardly surprising considering the BCCI's stated position on the matter.
