Bilateral ties dependent on BCCI, PCB - Indian foreign secretary

Indian foreign secretary Ranjan Mathai has said the resumption of India-Pakistan bilateral cricket ties is dependent on the BCCI and the PCB. Speaking after a meeting with Pakistan foreign secretary Jalil Abbas Jilani on Thursday, Mathai said the joint statement issued by the officials after their meeting emphasised the need for the two countries to engage in sporting activities.
"The resumption of cricketing ties, this is a matter between the BCCI and the PCB," Mathai was quoted as saying by PTI. "As you will see in the joint statement, we have emphasised the need to promote sports between the two countries."
Jilani confirmed that cricket had come up for discussion during the meeting. "I had a discussion on the revival of cricket ties between the two countries," he said.
Bilateral ties between India and Pakistan have been severed since the November 2008 terrorist attacks in Mumbai. BCCI president N Srinivasan and PCB chief Zaka Ashraf have held several discussions this year regarding resumption of ties, with Pakistan hoping to fit in a series at the end of the year, during the Christmas break in England's tour of India. After the last of those meetings, on the sidelines of the ICC's annual conference in June, Ashraf had said Pakistan were ready for progress on the series but Srinivasan said he would only be able to commit after checking with Indian authorities.
It is Pakistan's turn to host a bilateral series between the two. But there has been no international cricket in the country between Full Members since the March 2009 attack on the Sri Lanka team bus and it is understood that India are not keen to play at a neutral venue, as has been the case with all Pakistan's 'home' series since the attack. Subsequently, Ashraf said India had the prerogative to decide on the dates and host the series, but the PCB would want the BCCI to share revenue because the PCB has apparently not yet recovered from the financial loss suffered when India pulled out of their planned tour in 2009.

@Mohammad Ashraf on (July 07 2012, 18:38 PM GMT)....Really funny answer from you. I had a brief laugh. Do you think i posted all wrong there about speeds. Oh!., ok then you can have a cross check in any search engine about the speed they bowl that would enlighten you more about Indian bowlers and their speeds. All the speeds i have mentioned are mentioned only after i did cross checking myself. Period.
Posted bypraveen4honestrmk, rhe guys you mentioned ,only yadav is to some exrent a complete fast bowler, orhers will be pumelled , please enlighten with your view , i like your comments.
Posted by g.narsimha on (July 7, 2012, 13:34 GMT)MOHAMAD ASHRAF - I cant under stand u r theory ;who want to see these 125 km BOWLERS WHETHER U REFER INDIANS , BUT MY DEAR WE HAVE BOWLERS WHO BOWLS IN EXCESS OF 140, & how can u put GUL, JUNAID in the catogery of those world class bowlers GUL is spent force still has not recovered from the truema of SAHWAAG thashing in WC yaa JUNAID is 125 km bowler .
Posted by praveen4honestremark on (July 7, 2012, 12:19 GMT)@ Mohammad Ashraf ....You will get speed bowlers in Indian team. Umesh yadav, Varun Aaron can bowl upto 150kmph. If you want a little lesser go for vInay kumar, Ashok Dinda who can bowl upto 140kmph. In 130kmph category we have many bowlers who can swing and bowl. And between 90 to 120 kmph we have Ashwin, Rahul sharma..Which bowler your team want to play with?? Select yourself, but make sure you wont loose , ok!!

Posted by sanjeevmukherjee2006 on (July 6, 2012, 22:05 GMT)Mohammad ashraf have u gorgotem how pak lost to us in wc anf asia cup wwe r the kings
Posted by Vilander on (July 6, 2012, 12:50 GMT)Unfortunately since cricket is played on earth it is bound under human politics. Pcb pays tax to pak govt, pak govt fixes budget for isi. So its counter intutive for india to play with pakistan, as it would increase isi budget. Unlikely in nar future.
