Karachi, Apr 18: Former Pakistani cricketers feel an India-Pakistan cricket series is possible at a neutral venue later this year if both governments work out modalities.
India had severed cricket links with Pakistan after the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks in 2008.
"If both governments want, then a short series is possible this year itself at any venue. If the Indian government asks the BCCI to organize a series, then the Indian board will definitely try to find a time slot," the Daily Times quoted former captain Zaheer Abbas, as saying.
He reckoned that the revival of Indo-Pak cricket would be a positive development.
"It was great to see our premier and government officials visiting Mohali for the World Cup semifinal. It is very important for the development of cricket in this region and also for the betterment of international cricket that Pakistan and India should play regular Test and ODI series," Abbas said.
However, Javed Miandad said that he didn't see prospects of a series this year because of the tight international calendar of the Indian team.
"I don't think we must rush things from our side because the Indian team is busy this year. But the Pakistan board must plan ahead for a series next year," Miandad said.
Miandad said he supported the resumption of Indo-Pak cricket ties, but felt it was of utmost importance that both teams also play Tests in their revival series. (ANI)
