New Delhi: The
India-Pakistan limited overs cricket series will start in
Bangalore with the first Twenty20 international slated for
Christmas Day, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI)
announced Thursday.
The second Twenty20 will be held in Ahmedabad while the three ODIs
will be hosted by Chennai (Dec 30), Kolkata (Jan 3) and New Delhi
(Jan 6). Pakistan will leave for home Jan 7.
The home ministry Tuesday cleared the Pakistan cricket team's tour
to India. It has also agreed to ensure security for the visiting
team, according to officials.
India in July decided to resume cricketing ties with Pakistan and
had invited them for a short series, to be played in the period
intervening the Tests and ODIs against England.
The cricketing ties had snapped after the 2008 terror strikes in
Mumbai by Pakistani nationals. The two countries last played a
bilateral series in 2007 when Pakistan toured India.
However, during the World Cup semi-final in Mohali in February
2011, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh invited his then Pakistani
counterpart Yousuf Raza Gilani and the two leaders had watched the
high-profile match that India won.
