Top officials of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Monday met in Dubai to discuss the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed between the two cricket boards in 2014.
BCCI acting secretary Amitabh Chaudhry, along with the members of the Supreme Court appointed Committee of Administrators (CoA), engaged with PCB chairman Shaharyar Khan.
"The delegations of the BCCI and PCB have met in Dubai today and shared their stated positions. The meeting was held in a cordial atmosphere and its outcome will be shared with the members of their respective boards," a BCCI statement said.
Earlier today, Union Sports Minister Vijay Goel had asserted that there cannot be a bilateral series between the two nations until there is terrorism from the Pakistani side.
"BCCI should come out with a proposal on Pakistan only after consultations with the government. I have already made it clear that any bilateral series with Pakistan is almost impossible because there cannot be sports relations between the two countries until there is terrorism from the Pakistani side," Goel had said.
"Sports and terrorism cannot go hand in hand," he had added.
