If you are a true cricket fan and want to see Pakistan and India compete in Test cricket, we have an interesting development to share as the Melbourne Cricket Club offered to host the arch-rivals in Australia.

The two cricket giants haven’t met in the longest format of the game since 2007, with bilateral cricket between the neighbours suspended.

The last time both teams played a bilateral series was in 2013 when India hosted Pakistan for T20Is and three ODIs. Since then both teams have only played at the Asia Cup and World Cups.

Their most recent meeting was at the Twenty20 World Cup in October, where India emerged victorious thanks to Virat Kohli’s brilliance at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

With over 90,000 fans came to watch that last ball thriller at MCG, the MCC Chief Executive Stuart Fox pitched the idea of hosting the arch-rivals for a Test series.

“The atmosphere for that game, I’ve never felt anything like it,” Fox told radio station SEN. “The noise after every ball was phenomenal. Three (tests) in a row would be lovely at the MCG, you’d fill it every time.

“We’ve taken that up with Cricket Australia. I know the (Victoria) government has as well. It’s enormously complicated from what I can understand, amongst a really busy schedule. So I think that’s probably the greater challenge.”

Fox said he hoped Cricket Australia would keep pushing the proposal with the International Cricket Council, the sport’s global governing body.

“When you do see some of the stadiums around the world unoccupied, I think it would be much better to have a full house and that atmosphere and celebrating the game with full houses,” Fox added.
