NEW DELHI: The Indian government has cleared Pakistan’s cricket team to make a short tour in December for three One-day Internationals and two Twenty20 matches.
The Press Trust of India said on Tuesday the decision was taken after a delegation from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) met Union Home secretary R.K. Singh on Tuesday and discussed security and logistical issues.
BCCI senior official Rajiv Shukla was quoted as saying after the meeting that “the tour is on.”
