Expressing keenness for bilateral series with Pakistan in UAE, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has sought permission from the Union government for it, according to reports on Wednesday.
The board has written to the Home Ministry, seeking its permission for the India-Pakistan bilateral series in Dubai, sources said.
Team India last played Pakistan in a bilateral series in 2012-13 when the arch-rivals visited India for three ODIs and two T20Is. India lost the ODI series, while the T20I series ended in a draw.
