IPL chairman and BCCI functionary Rajeev Shukla on Thursday revealed that the much-awaited Indo-Pak series is likely to be held in Sri Lanka from December 15.

Shukla’s comments has come hours after Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif gave a green signal to the limited-overs series at a neutral venue in Sri Lanka.

But BJP’s MP Kirti Azad slammed BCCI and said why is it desperate to hold a match with Pakistan. Explaining why there shouldn’t be any match between the two countries he said, “ Terror and talk cannot go hand in hand. Unless there is a stable situation, PCB and the BCCI should stop asking for a series.”
