Pietersen Suggests An Idea To Play India vs Pakistan Matches Every Year

India vs Pakistan matches always have a high voltage drama around them, even if the players take it as just another game. It is one of the most hyped cricket matches possibly because the two teams only face each other in ICC and continental tournaments. 

One of the constant things that happens in an India vs Pakistan match is viewership. On Sunday, when the two sides met in the T20 World Cup encounter, the viewership of the match was over 1.2 crores at one time. 

Former England cricketer Kevin Pietersen came up with an idea to make India vs Pakistan encounter a yearly thing. Pietersen said that the teams should play three matches at the neutral venue over five days and the team winning will get $15m. Cities/countries/broadcasters will queue up for this every year. 

IDEA:

India should play PAK every year in 3 T20s at a neutral venue over a 5 day period!

15 man squads, $15M purse for the winning team!

Cities/countries/broadcasters would queue up to have that week every single year!

The two teams last played a bilateral series in 2012 where Pakistan toured India for two T20Is and three ODIs.
