Choice on Ind-Pak series likely on Wednesday

Obstruction creeping into PCB camp

BCCI president Shashank Manohar has emphasized that the board keeps on sitting tight for the Indian government's authorization for the India-Pakistan arrangement.

"I can't foresee whether the preparation would take place on the grounds that I am not a crystal gazer," Manohar advised journalists at a public interview to divulge the two new IPL creations. "It's the administration's call, let the administration take it."

India's outer issues pastor Sushma Swaraj has left for Pakistan on a 2-day visit today. As shown by a MEA illustrative, there was no decisive announcement made until late evening. It is, on the other hand, likely, that a choice may be made on Wednesday taking after talks in the middle of Swaraj and the Pakistan government.

India-Pakistan series 'very difficult'

The visit is to tune in the 'Heart of Asia' local meeting in Islamabad, where Swaraj will meet her partner Sartaj Aziz and Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. Talk of unending cricketing ties, while not being a need, are obligatory to happen.

"This meeting is identified with Afghanistan and I am here uncommonly to go to it from India," Swaraj said upon her entry in Islamabad on Tuesday. "But since it's being held in Pakistan and it's overbearing and legitimate that I meet with the Prime Minister of Pakistan Nawaz and my partner Sartaj. So I will be meeting both and will discuss ornamental two-sided relations between both nations and taking them ahead."

The Pakistan government has efficiently given its consent to the arrangement, yet it is in limbo taking after its Indian partner's hush on the matter. The PCB hasn't declared a formal due date yet, yet it is understood they are extensively on edge given it is probably planned to start on December 15. As indicated by the MoU marked between the BCCI and the PCB, the ball is in Pakistan's court to have the preparation. The overarching susceptibility leaves the Pakistan load up with next to no chance to make logistical game plans, principally with the venue being Sri Lanka.
