India agrees in principle to resume cric ties with Pak

New Delhi, April 13: As a follow up to the talks between Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and his counterpart Yousuf Raza Gilani, India has decided in-principle to resume bilateral cricket ties with Pakistan.

Government sources said the time of the visit, the venues of the matches and other logistical issues would be decided by the cricket boards of the two countries.

Sources said if everything goes according to the plans, Indian cricket team will visit Pakistan first and the cricket team of that country will pay a return visit.

However, there is no slot available for Indian cricket team to visit Pakistan in the immediate near future. According to the Future Tour Schedule prepared by the International Cricket Council, Pakistan should visit India for a three tests and five One Day International series in March 2012.
