Mumbai: Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni on Thursday endorsed the idea of resuming bilateral cricketing ties with Pakistan but expressed doubts over scheduling of matches, Indian media reported on Thursday.
According to reports, the Indian Captain expressed his views during a launching of a gymnasium ‘SportsFit by MS Dhoni’.
“If Pakistan comes and play here it’s good for us. But I don’t know about the scheduling… how they will fit it. We are open to it,” Dhoni said here.
The captain further said that it would be the decision of the cricket boards of the two countries that in what manner the cricketing ties between the two nations would be resumed.
Relationship between India and Pakistan hit a low following the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks and bilateral cricket ties between the two countries were snapped since then.
But the BCCI’s invitation to PCB chief Zaka Ashraf for the IPL final and inclusion of a Pakistan team in the Champions League Twenty20 indicated that things are on the mend now.
