DUBAI: Indian cricket has not yet been given clearance by the government to resume ties with Pakistan, the Pakistan board chairman Zaka Ashraf said on Wednesday.
The neighbours have not met in a bilateral series since Pakistan visited India in 2007.
Ashraf met with N. Srinivasan, president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India, in Dubai during an ICC meeting.
“We want to resume cricketing ties with India, but he (Srinivasan) told me that his board is facing problems in getting clearance from the government,” Ashraf said.
India was due to play a Test series in Pakistan in late 2008 but the tour was aborted after the terror attacks in Mumbai that killed 166 people.
The PCB has been organising home series at offshore venues since 2009, after gunmen attacked the Sri Lanka team bus at Lahore, killing six police officials and a van driver.
