Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chief Shahryar Khan has invited chairman of International Cricket Council (ICC) and former president of  Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) Shashank Manohar to Lahore next month.

“Manohar said he will look into the invitation and try to make it. But nothing is confirmed yet,” the Indian Express quoted Khan said.

The Indian daily citing its sources close to Khan said he had invited Manohar, a former President of the Board of Control for Cricket in India, to formally attend a farewell reception which will be given to him in Lahore.

According to PTI, Manohar, a former president of Board of Control for Cricket in India, has been invited to attend the farewell reception of the outgoing PCB chief.

As Khan, who completes his term in mid-August, says goodbye to PCB, the board is expected to select its new head at the Governing Board meeting later this month.

“The idea behind inviting Manohar to Lahore is to also finalise the World XI’s tour to Pakistan in September as the ICC has shown its support for the tour,” the source told PTI.
