IPL Chairman and BCCI functionary Rajeev Shukla on Thursday revealed that the much-awaited series between India and Pakistan is likely to be held in Sri Lanka from December 15.
Shukla's comments has come hours after Pakistan prime minister Nawaz Sharif gave a green signal to the limited-overs series at a neutral venue in Sri Lanka.
"India-Pakistan series will happen tentatively from December 15 in Sri Lanka," Shukla told reporters.
"I am optimistic that the government will give the go-ahead to us. Both the parties (Boards) have agreed for Sri Lanka as a venue. The whole idea is to resume cricket between the two countries," Shukla said.
