Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Shaharyar Khan has held a fruitful discussion with his counterpart at the Board of Control for Cricket in India, (BCCI) including the possibility of resuming bilateral ties at neutral venues.
According to a reliable source in the PCB, Khan met with BCCI president Anurag Thakur on the sidelines of the ICC meetings in Edinburgh this week and raised the issue of resuming bilateral ties.
"A proposal has been floated that it is about time that the two boards worked out a proper calendar for bilateral series at neutral venues," the source said. He said the proposal was that the two countries should play a full bilateral series every two years. The PCB chief said Pakistan would be willing to play in India when it was the turn of the BCCI to host the series. While when it was Pakistan's turn to host the series it would be held at a neutral venue finalised by consensus."
The source said both the board heads had agreed that they needed to talk to their governments to get clearance for a full bilateral series sometime in late 2016 or 2017.
