Minister of External Affairs Sushma Swaraj has indicated government's thought process at a meeting of the advisory committee attached to the ministry that offered a review of relations with neighbours. As per reports, Foreign Secretary S Jaishankar was also present at the meeting. On being asked about restarting long-suspended cricket exchange as part of cricket diplomacy, Mrs Swaraj said there had been various other suggestions on humanitarian lines as well but the high number of cross-border firings do not set the tone for any kind of bilateral engagements.External Affairs Sushma Swaraj is apprehended to have pointed out that there were over 800 cross-border violations in recent times.

India and Pakistan are one of the aggregation cricket challengers and there have been theorising when will the cricketing ties between the two nations resume. The Indian government once again made its stand clear saying no cricket series is to be played between the two nations even at neutral venues for the time being.

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has newly upraised objections about Board of Control for Cricket in India's (BCCI) FTP schedule for excluding any bi-lateral series with the neighbouring nation. PCB intimated in an official release that they will challenge the new schedules until they get to play against India in a bilateral series.
