August 29, 2011 11:19

Pakistan Cricket Board chief Ijaz Butt has said that the modalities of a possible series between India and his nation are being worked out with the Board of Control for Cricket in India, and cricketing ties between the two neighbours could resume soon.

Butt, who visited India recently and met with the BCCI officials, hinted at a breakthrough during discussions with his counterparts. "I held discussions with Indian officials," Butt told The Express Tribune newspaper in an interview. "Both countries have shown their eagerness for the revival of the series. We are working on finalising terms and conditions and fans will hear the good news soon," he said.

Butt, however, termed reports that the series would be played at a neutral venue as "premature".
