BCCI to discuss revival of Indo-Pak cricketing ties – Cricket News Update
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has included the issue of resumption of Indo-Pak cricketing relations in the agenda of its meeting that is scheduled to be held next month. The board will have in-depth discussion on the issue and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Try-c94438 to come
up with some solid results to solve the problem.
The influential Indian board has agreed to discuss the matter after ICC’s Pakistan Task Force’s hard-pressed demand for both the countries to restore their long-abandoned cricketing relations, which, many believe, are impertinent for the development of the
game in the South East Asian region.
The BCCI’s vice-president, Rajeev Shukla, revealed today, “The series is on our agenda and we will make the final decision after assessing the pros and cons in our meeting. The series is scheduled for next year and there is still a lot of time left.”
The two neighbouring nations have not played any bilateral series since 2007. The relations between the two nations have been strained since long due to certain political and territorial disputes, but the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mumbai-c820 attacks of November 2008 proved to be the
last nail in the coffin and India moved up to discard all ties with Pakistan - cricket was the first casualty.
The high-voltage Indo-Pak semi-final clash of ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 was considered to be a milestone for the normalisation of their mutual relations as ‘Cricket Diplomacy’ resurged, but nothing positive came out.
Pakistan and India are regarded as archrivals in international cricket and any game between the two is regarded as highly significant not only in the region but also at the global level.

Last month’s annual meeting of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Hong-Kong-c2919, gave an opportunity to the officials of both countries to discuss the issue and the BCCI showed consent to deliberate on the core matter in its upcoming meeting.
