According to a press release, Mr Steven Althaus, Vice-President, Marketing Communications, Allianz Group, said, "The decision to sponsor the 2006 Pakistan-India Test Series was driven by our intention to expand and further leverage the Allianz brand in the Asian region with particular focus on India — one of Allianz's core growth markets, as well as Pakistan.
