LAHORE: Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Zaka Ashraf said Tuesday he was "positive" about reviving stalled cricket ties with India, following President Asif Ali Zardari's weekend trip to New Delhi.
Pakistan and India met in the Asia Cup one-day tournament last month and the World Cup semi-final in India last year, but regular tours have been frozen since the 2008 terror attacks in Mumbai.
Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had lunch with Zardari on Sunday and said he would consider reviving what is one of the most hotly-contested rivalries in cricket.
"We are quite positive about the revival of cricketing ties with India after our president took the initiative," Zaka Ashraf told reporters after a PCB meeting.
"It was a good move to invite the Indian premier to Pakistan and I am sure that it will help in moving forward."
