Punisher Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 India and Pakistan may play a three-match ODI series this year as the cricket boards of both countries are trying to find a window in their tight international schedule in the wake of the resumption of the bilateral peace process. Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani, who visited Mohali last month to watch the India-Pakistan World Cup semifinal, said the Boards of the two countries are holding negotiations for renewing cricket ties. "We want to restart cricket ties with India. Negotiations are underway and nothing has been finalised as yet," Gilani told reporters on the sidelines of a reception he hosted on Monday for members of the Pakistani cricket team. Pakistan Cricket Board chief operating officer Subhan Ahmad told 'The News' daily that efforts were on to arrange a three-match ODI series despite the hectic schedule of the two countries this year. He said there was a possibility that the two boards might be able to arrange an ODI series sometime this year. "Taking time out from the hectic ICC Future Tour Programme would not be easy. However, all efforts are being made to adjust the series this year," he said. "We are working on it but I don't think we can manage more than 10-12 days and in such a case, only three ODIs can be arranged. However, all these talks are in an early stage," Ahmad said. He was not sure when or where the series would be organised. "That is a million dollar question," he said. India were scheduled to tour Pakistan in early 2009 but the visit was cancelled in the aftermath of the 2008 Mumbai attacks, which were blamed on the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba terror group. Since then, the two countries have played against each other twice in One-Day Internationals - at the Champions Trophy in South Africa and the World Cup last month. Under the ICC's Future Tour Programme, Pakistan is scheduled to tour India for a Test series in March next year. "Yes, Pakistan is scheduled to tour India early next year to play Test and One-Day series. That tour is part of the Future Tour Programme. Since we have announced the restart of bilateral series, the tour to India is a possibility," Ahmad said. India and Pakistan recently agreed to resume their peace process, which was stalled in the wake of the Mumbai attacks. The cricket diplomacy initiated by Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh by inviting his Pakistani counterpart to watch the World Cup semifinal at Mohali has given a boost to the process to normalise relations. http://www.cricbuzz.com/cricket-news/39725/india,-pakistan-working-out-odi-series

achilles Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 These are pressure tactics. There was no reason to come out and discuss this in the media. It is music to the ears of the Pakistani people. But if it doesn't work out, whatever the reason, this is going to flare up tensions between us.
satyam1729 Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 so u wana celebrate dat semifinal win for 5 years well not happing cuz we want revenge right now :finger: You are comparing WC semi-final with some ordinary bilateral series. :haha::haha: Deluded Paki :hysterical::hysterical:

Cricket Tragic Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 Where is the time? Our schedule is already ridiculous. Maybe we could send our 'A' team to the UAE for a series against them.
Baad Indian Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 No Bilateral series with the Pakistanis until there sponsored Terrorism on Indian soil in Name of Allah and Jihad is brought to an End
Params7 Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 This is only going to be a waste of time if it happens. And there's Asia Cup next year anyways.
saket123 Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 Indians should not play bilaterally with sponsors of terrorism. Pakistan just wants to suck up to India and manage ONE win against India in order to mitigate their huge embarrassment.

It's got nothing to do with win or loss PCB is desperate to play against India so they can make quick bucks
Gotham Cronie Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 I wanna see a PAK/IND match in the States so bad.
Indiawin Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 No series with these fixers. Pretty sure when India wins it they will whine that it was fixed. No need to get into that controversy :-!
saket123 Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 No series with these fixers. Pretty sure when India wins it they will whine that it was fixed. No need to get into that controversy :-! Exactly! Let these little girls first grow up and stop whining and crying about every thing.. Last time I checked.. they were still whining about Sachin's LBW decision and a few in their media are saying the final was fixed. Unnecessarily they'll draw into controversies and the only thing coming out of it will be even more animosity.
vijay810 Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 Say NO to Terror sponsorship. BCCI will then sponsor a series for you guys ;). Criteria is no jihadist acticivity in India for atleast 5 years and then you get a 5 ODI series waiting for you
Ultimate_Game Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 I hope we don't have any bilateral series with Pakis till they do something about 26/11 criminals and Dawood Ibrahim.
