BCCI Cricket News - India seek Pakistan games backing
Board of Control for Cricket in India - India Cricket News & Photos Latest Cricket News:
"The Indian cricket board is looking for sponsors for two one-day games against Pakistan in Abu Dhabi next month.
They have set a Friday deadline for sealed bids of at least £1.7m.
The matches will take place on 18 and 19 April, with money from the first going towards the Kashmir earthquake relief fund.
More than 75,000 people are believed to have been killed in the earthquake, which happened last October.
The games in Abu Dhabi, meanwhile, are part of an initiative by both boards to stage games in countries with large expatriate populations.
It will not be the first time India and Pakistan have played each other away from the subcontinent - in the mid-1990s they played three series in Canada.
And they are hoping to stage five games in Europe in 2007, two of them in England - with Lord's a possible venue. "
