Less than a day after reports of governments of both countries giving a green signal for a Pakistan-India cricket series in Sri Lanka, the Indian foreign ministry said that no decision has been taken on the much-anticipated series.
"Update on queries regarding Cricket Series: No decision has been taken on the India-Pakistan cricket series," Indian External Affairs ministry spokesman Vikas Swarup said in a tweet sent out late Thursday night.
Indian media had reported on Thursday that the country's government has given a green signal to its cricket board for the proposed series next month. BCCI senior official Rajeev Shukla said the much-anticipated India-Pakistan series will happen tentatively from December 15 at the neutral venue.
"India-Pakistan series will happen tentatively from Dec 15 in Sri Lanka. Both the countries have agreed upon it," Shukla was quoted as saying.
"Around five matches will mark the resumption of cricketing ties between India and Pakistan in Sri Lanka," he had said.
But Swarap's tweet casts fresh doubts on the fate of the already delayed series between the two teams.
