Chances of a bilateral series between India and Pakistan taking place in December are now very slim, after collapse of the NSA level talks, admitted Pakistan Cricket Board Chairman Shahryar Khan.
The former career diplomat admitted on Sunday that the conditions in which the talks between the National Security Advisors of the two countries were called off do not augur well for resumption of Indo-Pak cricket relations.
"We were very hopeful that a lot of ice would melt with the NSA level talks and it would help cricket but unfortunately things are not looking good now for the series in December," he said.
"The series with India does not look possible now and it is a big loss for cricket but we will try although I do not think it will lead to anything. We have always said that politics and sports should be kept apart. But apparently India does not think this way," he said.
