LONDON, May 4: India and Pakistan are likely to lock horns for a One-Day International match at the neutral venue of Glasgow in Scotland in the first week of July.
A leading Asian broadcaster, which has earlier arranged India-Pakistan match in Canada, has been surveying location for the encounter, according to a report in The Scotsman .
"The proposed India-Pakistan encounter is being promoted by one of Asia's leading broadcast networks, who have staged similar events in Canada which have attracted big crowds of exiles," the report said.
"And over the past two days, technical representatives from the company have been surveying both locations as part of their advanced planning process," it said.
It is believed that the big game will take place on July 4, two days after Scotland square up to Pakistan.
"The Pakistani authorities are keen to have an extra match because they don't fancy the idea of coming in cold against India in British conditions."
"Arrangements have still to be finalised, but both matches would be held at the same venue because the facilities would be in place," it said.
The matches are likely to go ahead either Clydesdale's Titwood ground, or New Anniesland - home of Glasgow Accies - early in July.
