Board of Cricket Control India (BCCI) president Shashank Manohar and his Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Shahryar Khan will meet each other tomorrow (Tuesday) in Delhi following the cancelation of meeting after Indian extremist party Shiv Sena workers stormed at Indian board headquarters.  

Both will discuss bilateral series between Pakistan and India which is expected to be played in December.

“The talks have not been called off. Shashank Manohar and Shahryar Khan will speak to each other in evening today and tomorrow they are coming to Delhi for another round of talks,” IPL chairman and senior board functionary Rajiv Shukla said.

In tomorrow’s meeting, Shukla and BCCI secretary Anurag Thakur will also be present. The PCB chairman is also expected to meet top government officials.

It is pertinent to mention here that, the meeting was to take place in Mumbai today but was cancelled in view of the protest at the BCCI headquarters during which hundreds of Shiv Sainiks stormed the Board office and surrounded Shashank Manohar in his office.

Manohar had invited Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Shahryar Khan for talks on the much-anticipated series scheduled in December.
