Indo-Pak cricket ties in Dubai are now unlikely to happen

New Delhi: The Centre is unlikely to grant permission to the Indian cricket team to play against Pakistan in Dubai due to the prevailing situation in Jammu and Kashmir.


"The Home Minister and the Home Ministry will take call on this but I don’t think the atmosphere is right given the current situation in Jammu and Kashmir," Minister of State for Home Hansraj Ahir told reporters here yesterday. Ahir was responding to reports that the BCCI has written to the Home Ministry seeking permission to play Pakistan in Dubai.


"We get many proposals and letters, but the atmosphere today is not right for Indo-Pak cricket," he said. The BCCI has reportedly written to the Home Ministry seeking permission to play Pakistan and complete its obligations under the MoU, which was inked between the two cricket boards in 2014.
