Both the parties have agreed for Sri Lanka as a venue. The whole idea is to resume cricket between the two countries,&quot; Shukla, who is the Indian Premier League (IPL) chairman, said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Sharif on Thursday told the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) that it was willing to grant permission to send a team to play against India at a neutral venue.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>International Cricket Council&#39;s (ICC) Pakistan Task Force head, Giles Clarke, earlier organised a meeting between BCCI president Shashank Manohar and Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Shaharyar Khan last week in Dubai, where Sri Lanka emerged as the likeliest possible venue.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>After a fruitful meeting, both boards sought permissions from their respective governments. The BCCI wrote to its union home ministry seeking clearance for the series to go-ahead in Sri Lanka.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>While Sharif pressed the green light on Thursday, the stand of the Indian government is eagerly awaited.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>An official announcement in this regard is expected to be made on Friday at ICC&#39;s headquarters in Dubai with Clarke expected to declare the details.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>(Agency)<br \/>\r\n&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
