There is no chance of a bilateral series between Pakistan and India anytime soon: Allardice of the ICC

The International Cricket Council's acting chief executive, Geoff Allardice, has stated that a bilateral match between Pakistan and India is unlikely to take place anytime soon.
"When they play each other in our events, we definitely enjoy it," Allardice told Belfast Telegraph.
"However, the ICC is unable to control the relationship between the two countries and the boards," the acting chief executive added.
Pakistan last played India in a bilateral series in 2013, and the teams currently only meet in global events, the most recent of which being the T20 World Cup, where the Men in Green defeated India for the first time in a World Cup.
Both of them, however, were eliminated from the tournament — India at the Super 12 round and Pakistan in the semi-finals.
"They play, just like any bilateral cricket match, if the two boards agree." They don't if they don't have to. I believe we can't expect much of a change in the near future "Allardice remarked.
"It's merely a practical method to keep them separate and let competition work [...]" If they both reach the final of an ICC competition, they will face off in a neutral venue "Added he.
