On supporting Big 3 plan, BCCI made an agreement with Pakistan to play 6 mutual series in 8 years but later it refused to do so. After cold response from Indian govt. due to tense relations on borders, BCCI officials also joined them and conditioned the series from permission of government in order to delay the matter.

Pakistan was at the forefront when movement to demolish “Big 3” was underway. In March 2017, Indian media once again tried to play the game and said that neutral series is expected in September, October this year on neutral venue.
