India vs Pakistan Series 2016 - 3 ODIs & 3 T20s in June in England: The much-awaited series of India and Pakistan may be played in June 2016 in England. Both the BCCI and Pakistan Cricket Board has agreed to play the series but still confirmation is left from Indian Government. PCB who accepting to play with India for ODI and T20 matches in December now may face some issues as bilateral series could be played in 2016 June in England.
Indian has no schedule in June 2016 so BCCI may decide to play India vs Pakistan bilateral series in June after Indian Premier League 2016 is finished in May.

“The series could happen in England sometime in June as the IPL is from April 9 to May 29 and both teams will have a window in June,” PTI quoted a PCB source as saying.
In 2010, England Cricket Board allowed Pakistan to play series with Australia so they could do the same for India vs Pakistan series. England and Wales Cricket Board President Giles Clarke is a mediator for India-Pakistan series, so we may expect that series may be played in England in June.
“Pakistan also played a “home” series against Australia in England in 2010 when they last toured England for a full series,” said the source.
Although there are so many rumors of India vs Pakistan series 2016 to be played in Dec but all of them has vanished now. From 12th Jan India will tour Australia for ODI’s and T20’s matches. After that in Feb Indian will also play Sri Lanka for 3 T20 matches although series is not confirmed and schedule is also not announced. BCCI will definitely wants India to prepare for World T20 2016 in India so they want team to prepare for T20. So we can expect India will play Sri Lanka. After that T20 World Cup and IPL 2016 start from March to May so there has no time for Indian team play series with Pakistan.
Hence there may be some chances that India may play Pak in June 2016 due to no series schedule with other teams. Pakistan Cricket Board hasn’t said anything about playing series with India in England as they govt. not allowed them to speak about it. PCB first wants announcement from India for playing series after that they will make their decision.
