Calcutta: The possibility of a bilateral cricket series between India and Pakistan in either Sri Lanka or Bangladesh cannot be ruled out.
At the bilateral level, the two countries have not played each other since January 2013.
According to well-placed sources of The Telegraph, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is actively looking at playing in one of the two neighbouring countries.
Shashank Manohar, the BCCI president, is also the chairman of the International Cricket Council, which is headquartered in Dubai. He's got to keep the bigger picture in mind as well.
The MoU between the BCCI and the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) was signed when Narayanswami Srinivasan was at the helm on this side of the border.
Going by the MoU, India's committed to playing Pakistan and the next series would have the status of home' for the PCB.
Once things firm up, a formal proposal would be placed before the PCB, which is headed by a former foreign secretary, Shaharyar Khan.
Khan's roots, incidentally, are in India.
Manohar and Shaharyar are expected to meet in Dubai on Saturday/ Sunday. While the former has left for the Emirate in his capacity as chairman of the world body, Shaharyar is there for the ongoing Pakistan-England matches.
The UAE has become Pakistan's home venue after the attack (in Lahore) on the Sri Lanka team bus, in March 2009.
Thus far, the Indian and Pakistani Boards have rejected each other's proposals. Both sides have left no scope for any compromise on their publicly stated positions.
