Karachi-Wahabuddin khan — Pakistan's chances of hosting the Champions Trophy -2009 improved Sunday after the Indian cricket board said that they are ready to adjust its calendar for the sake of the crisis-hit tournament.The Indian cricket board, which had objected to the event being held in October 2009 as it clashed with its one-day series with Australia, said it was open to "minor adjustments" if other boards involved were flexible as well."There is no question that all the boards would like the Champions Trophy to happen," board secretary Niranjan Shah said."We are willing to look at an adjustment by a few days if everyone else involved is equally flexible," he was quoted as saying by the Cricinfo website.The Indian board will also have to change the dates of the Champions Twenty20 League, a ulti-million dollar inter-club competition slated to be held from September 25-October 11 next year.The ICC said the event would take place in October 2009 with Pakistan remaining the first-choice venue pending a security assessment.
