It was also reported just yesterday that Indian PM Narendra Modi and Pakistan PM Nawaz Sharif have given a green signal to the series, which could see three ODIs and two T20Is. The PTI (Press Trust of India) also said that the series could be held between 24 December and 5 January, subject to a green signal from the Indian govt.

BCCI secretary Anurag Thakur also meanwhile told NDTV today that India cannot play cricket with Pakistan when people are dying on the border. "We want peace with neighbours. Even PM Modi wants that. But Pakistan have to be serious on terror," he said.
