The BCCI on Thursday claimed that it had reminded the government some time ago about the controversial issue of resuming joint cricket ties with Pakistan.
The Indian Cricket Board and Pakistan Cricket Board officials are to meet in Dubai later this month to resolve the existing bilateral issues.
The BCCI has made it clear once again that decision to play with Pakistan in a bilateral series was totally in the hands of the Indian Government.
“There is nothing new in the situation. We had written to the government seeking their permission to play Pakistan three months ago. We issued them a reminder 15 days ago. We are yet to get a reply. Only the government can decide whether we can play Pakistan or not,” Choudhary said.
