India May Play Pakistan But After 2012, NZ Not Clear
Sreelata Yellamrazu | Sep 20 2009

India and Pakistan are currently not planning any get togethers. However, that may change post 2012.
The ICC’s FTP (Future Tours Programme) post 2012 will look at the two sparring neighbours playing each other in a bilteral series. India’s tour to Pakistan was called off in early 2009 after the Indian government did not allow the Indian team to go to Pakistan following the aftermath of the 26/11 terror attacks in Mumbai.
While Pakistan has gone to town accusing India (read BCCI) of muscling Pakistan out from hosting any of the 2011 World Cup matches, even at neutral venues, pending a government sanction, a bilaterial series could come into the picture post 2012 but perhaps at a neutral venue.
In the meantime, Pakistan’s series against New Zealand may be jeopardy after the southern hemisphere team demanded a two day break between matches, scheduled for Dubai and Abu Dhabi, which would perhaps not be feasible for Pakistan given the tight schedule.
For the time being, lovers of the game and those with the heart strong for an Indo Pak encounter, the ICC Champions Trophy will have to do for now.
