PCB should convince players: Dave Richardson

Richardson, the International Cricket Council general manager cricket, said the Pakistan Cricket Board could benefit from talking to people like Tim May, who heads the Federation of International Cricket Association and New Zealand players association. "We (ICC) would love Pakistan to be playing international cricket tomorrow," Richardson said on Friday. "But no matter what I say, people like Tim May or the New Zealand players association, they need to be convinced." The PCB invited Richardson to witness its first ever day-night, four-day premier first-class final for the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy - in which an orange color ball was being used. Pakistan has been a no-go area for foreign teams since gunmen attacked the Sri Lanka team bus on March 3, 2009, killing six policemen and a van driver and wounding several players.
