India-Pak Cricket Matches Soon?

Pakistan’s cricket chief Ijaz Butt is visiting India Wednesday to hold talks with his counterparts, apparently to revive bilateral ties snapped a year ago following the Mumbai terror attacks.

‘I am going to India, but at this point of time I am not going to make any comment and once things mature only then will I be able to speak,’ said Butt, whose tour is widely reported as an attempt to revive ties.

Butt last month said that the new FTP had Tests, one-dayers and Twenty20 matches with India.


‘Not only Pakistan and India, but the ICC is also making efforts to revive bilateral ties between the two countries as it is imperative that we play against each other in the FTP and we will discuss the option of neutral venues,’ Butt said.


PCB chief operating officer Wasim Bari also reportedly hinted India was willing to talk on playing Pakistan at neutral venues.
