SPORT IND PAK

Karachi, Nov 8 (PTI) Cricketing ties between India and
Pakistan are on the mend and the arch-rivals might play a
short, bi-lateral series in England next year, Pakistan
Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Ejaj Butt has told the Governing
Council here.

A member of the council told PTI that Butt had given the
members a briefing on his recent visit to India and meeting
with Indian board officials at Saturday's meeting.
"Butt told us that he had a very positive discussion with
(former BCCI president) Sharad Pawar who told him that if
relations kept on improving between the two countries steadily
there was a strong possibility that Pakistan and India can
play a short series in England next year to revive bilateral
ties," the member said.
He said Butt had also indicated that Pakistan might have
to play some of its 2011 World Cup matches in India when the
draws are announced Monday.
"Butt briefed us that he was in touch with the government
functionaries and had briefed them as well that Pakistan would
have to play its World Cup matches in India if required to do
so," he said. More PTI COR
