No cricket ties yet between India and Pakistan
Islamabad, Dec 9 (IBNS): While Indian External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, who is visiting Pakistan, on Wednesday announced that both countries will commence a comprehensive bilateral dialogue, there may not be any cricket series between the two any time soon, according to reports.
Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Shahryar Khan on Wednesday was quoted in media saying that there is yet no green signal from Indian government for a cricket series between the two nations.
India and Pakistan were scheduled to face off in a short limited over match series in Sri Lanka later this month but even the visit of Sushma Swaraj and her meeting with Pakistan counterpart Sartaj Aziz in Islamabad bore no result for resumption of cricket ties snapped over terrorism.
"We were hopeful that Sushma Swaraj's visit will make things better but it did not happen," Shahryar Khan was quoted as saying by Waqt News of Pakistan, according to Indian media reports.
