Pakistan hope for answer on India series soon

AFP, LAHORE: India’s cricket chief has invited his Pakistani counterpart Shaharyar Khan for a visit to discuss the prospect of a series which has run into doubts over strained relations, Khan said Thursday.
Pakistan is due to host India in the United Arab Emirates for a two Test, five one-day and two Twenty20 series — one of six the arch-rivals agreed to play between 2015 and 2023 under an agreement signed last year — pending New Delhi’s clearance.
But relations between the South Asian nuclear rivals have been strained with continued ceasefire violations from both sides, leading to the cancellation of a meeting between their security advisers in August.
Khan had hoped a meeting with his Indian counterpart on the sidelines of an International Cricket Council (ICC) conference in Dubai would bring a positive result.
But the newly-elected president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) Shashank Manohar did not attend the meeting.
