India news: India to host Pakistan for ODI series in December | India Cricket News | ESPN Cricinfo

India and Pakistan have agreed to a three-match ODI series, to be held in India in December. The series, whose confirmation is subject to the Indian government's approval, is likely to be held over the Christmas period, between the Test and one-day legs of England's tour of India. It will be the first bilateral series between the two sides since Pakistan's tour of India in end-2007.

Update : Two T20s as well

And ofcourse, if time permits they will fit in a few games against Sri Lanka in between those games against Pakistan

the ties were cut down based on issue of terrorism, but have pakistan acted against perpetrators? NO. India's govt. doesn't have any self-respect, our neighbours send terrorists to kill our own people, instead of taking some action(physical , economical, or diplomatic cornering of pak) we have allowed them to gain upper hand.

Shiv Sena has obviously opposed this as well.

Surprisingly congress too has Opposed this.

The Maharashtra unit of Congress and its opposition party Shiv Sena
took the lead in opposing the proposed bilateral series, which was
suspended in the wake of 26/11 Mumbai carnage carried out by
Pakistan-based terror organisations in 2008.
Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) president Manikrao
Thackeray said the thinking of the Board of Control for Cricket of India
(BCCI) and that of the people of the country did not match. He said the
BCCI should take people’s feelings into consideration while making
such decisions involving Pakistan.

MPCC, Shiv Sena oppose Indo-Pak cricket series : Cricket, News - India Today

Eager to see Yuvraj back in action! Hopefully he gets completely fit before the start of the WC.

So rahul sharma is dropped for today's ODI and ojha makes a comeback into ODI's after 2 years.Why this rohit sharma is playing after so many bad performances is beyond me. Tiwary should have been taken instead of him

 

[ashish]

Good to see rohit sharma flopping once again @ 5 runs. But BCCI probably needs more 100 matches to get convinced of his "Special Abilities"

 

[mhsabir]

Oh, I thought he is there in the team for his good looks & some fielding abilities?
