islamabad, April 13: After going through cold period of mutual relations of two neighboring countries i.e. Pakistan and India, the Cricket Boards of both nations are in process of organizing three-match one day international series between the two arch rivals in 2011.
The Cricket Boards of both countries are trying to find a slot in the busy international commitments of both countries to conduct the ODI series.

Pakistani Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gillani visited Chandigarh on the special invitation of his Indian counterpart Manmohan Singh which laid the foundation of restarting the peace dialogue. “We want to restart cricket ties with India. Negotiations are underway and nothing has been finalised as yet,” Gillani said.
