The Pakistan Cricket Board has written to BCCI secretary Anurag Thakur wanting to know if India will play the scheduled bilateral series in December. India have blamed Pakistan for cross-border terrorism and Thakur, a BJP MP, has categorically said cricket between the two nations is uncertain in a climate of fear. The BCCI had signed an MOU to play Pakistan in six series between 2015 and 2023, with the first to be hosted by the PCB in the UAE in December. The last full series was in 2007, when Pakistan toured India.
