Former ICC president and Test captain Zaheer Abbas believes Pakistan will eventually revive international cricket in the country.

Conceding that time is running out for the proposed India-Pakistan bilateral cricket series to take place, BCCI secretary Anurag Thakur said the Board is still waiting for the government's approval.
