The PCB is currently making efforts to save the series and its chief Ijaz Butt is planning to visit India early next month to convince India that their cricketers will be safe in Pakistan. In the wake of recent attacks, even there are not slim chances of holding of series in Pakistan and even the prospects of the series are in jeopardy.
