BCCI president-elect Sourav Ganguly has said that resumption of bilateral cricket ties with Pakistan is subject to approval from Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Pakistan counterpart Imran Khan.

Asked about the resumption of India-Pakistan bilateral ties during a media briefing here, Ganguly said, “You have to ask that question to Modi ji and the Pakistan Prime Minister.”

“Of course we have, because international exposure is all through governments. So we don’t have an answer to that question,” the former India captain added.

The last time the two neighbours featured in a bilateral series was in 2012 when India hosted Pakistan for a limited-overs series comprising two T20Is and three ODIs.

Reacting strongly to the February 14 terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pulwama, the BCCI, in what seemed to be a reference to Pakistan, had asked the ICC “to sever ties with countries from which terrorism emanates”.
