LAHORE - Pakistan is willing to pay Sri Lanka up to $1.5 million to play the hastily arranged series in January-February after the Indian tour cancellation, but the question is where will it arrange the money from? Reports coming from different quarters in the Pakistan Cricket Board suggest that Pakistan is unlikely to generate enough money from the series that would keep the board's finances flowing smoothly. India decided to pull out of its tour of Pakistan over last month's terror attacks in Mumbai. The cancellation of that much-awaited series caused whopping losses of almost $25 million to the cash-strapped PCB. Though the itinerary of the series against Sri Lanka is yet to be decided, it has been learnt that the PCB is ready to dish out $1.5 million to Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) for the series that is likely to take place from January 20 to February 25. The amount is for three Tests and five One-day Internationals. However, Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) is still undecided on the tour itinerary and is now asking for a reduction in the number of One-day games. SLC has asked the PCB to revert to the initial tour itinerary that included three Tests, three ODIs and a Twenty20 game. That itinerary was revised by the PCB after SLC asked for the inclusion of two more One-dayers instead of the sole Twenty20 game. However, that request came from SLC when Arjuna Ranatunga was its interim head. After his sacking, the Sri Lanka board is now asking for yet another change. Meanwhile, the PCB marketing team is making all out efforts to find sponsors for the series. However, it is yet to achieve any major breakthrough. According to reports, the board is looking for a title sponsor for the series that would fetch it around $300,000. Such a sponsorship would help the PCB to break even - a far cry from the $25 million it was expecting to receive from the money-spinning series against India.
