New Delhi (Web Desk): Indian Sports Minister Vijay Goel on Monday reaffirmed India's stance concerning a bilateral cricket series with Pakistan, saying “Atankwad aur khel saath nahi chal sakte”.
"India and Pakistan can't play a bilateral series till the terror from Pakistan remains," Times of India quoted Goel as saying.
"[The] BCCI should speak to the government before giving any proposal to Pakistan. I have made it clear that bilateral cricket with Pakistan is not possible till the time there is cross-border terror. We have, however, no say on multilateral events," he added.
