A breakthrough in revival of Cricket ties between Pakistan and India


Lahore : Pakistan expects a breakthrough in a four years deadlock between Pakistan and India cricket as Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Zaka Ashraf and chief operating officer Subhan Ahmed held talks with their counterparts during a visit to India.

“We held positive discussions on the revival of bilateral ties and expect a breakthrough very soon,” Subhan Ahmed told AFP, without confirming reports in Indian and Pakistani media that a short series is expected as early as December-January.

India broke off diplomatic and sporting ties with its neighbour after the 2008 attacks on Mumbai which left 166 people dead and were blamed on militants based in Pakistan. 

Last month visit of Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari to India has raised hopes the nuclear-armed rivals are eager to revive ties in sports, trade and travel. 

There has been no bilateral series since Pakistan’s tour to India in 2007
