Pakistan cricket team to visit India in December
Published: 16th Jul 2012 11:24:07
India looks set to resume bilateral cricketing ties with Pakistan after a gap of several years, with plans for Pakistani cricketers to tour India.
India's cricket board says three one-day internationals to be played in India have been planned for December.
The last bilateral series between India and Pakistan was in 2007-2008 when the Pakistani team visited India.
Cricketing ties were suspended after the 2008 Mumbai attacks, blamed on a Pakistan-based militant group.
Indian government approval is still needed for the series to go ahead but analysts say this is just a formality.
"It was decided to resume cricketing ties with Pakistan by inviting the Pakistan cricket team for a short series in December 2012-January 2013," the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) said in a news release on Monday.
"The modalities will be worked out shortly," it added.
Earlier this month, the foreign secretaries of India and Pakistan met in Delhi and the two sides discussed their willingness to have more sporting contact between the two countries.
It is a sign of improving relations between the countries, say correspondents.
The South Asian rivals have played each other in the 2011 World Cup and Asia Cup in Bangladesh recently.
