Karachi: A top official of Pakistan Cricket Board has disclosed that the PCB was very close to inking a deal with its West Indies counterpart to have some limited overs matches in Pakistan but a terrifying bomb blast in Lahore in March derailed the plan.

Najam Sethi, who heads the PCB’s executive committee and has remained chairman of the Board, said that WI were about to agree to play some limited over matches of the scheduled series in October-November in Pakistan.
