This will benefit cricket boards of both,&rdquo; Imran was quoted as saying by a public service broadcaster on Sunday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The 63-year-old, however, said that as the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) was already financially stable, a series would be more beneficial for Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&ldquo;The PCB may spend money earned through this way to improve its domestic cricket,&rdquo; he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Expressing disappointment at the national team&rsquo;s loss against India in World T20 clash, he said Pakistan team did not do justice with their talent.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&ldquo;If they had suffered defeat while fighting there would have been no disappointment, but it is regrettable they lost in a one sided affair,&rdquo; Imran concluded.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Agency.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
