On Wednesday, Adish C Aggarwala, Chairman of the All India Bar Association, announced that the Pakistan Bar Council has extended an invitation to cricket teams comprising male and female lawyers from India. They have invited them to visit Pakistan in October to participate in friendly matches. Following this, reciprocal matches are scheduled to be held in India.

Aggarwala said that it will be a good start and improve the relationship between both the countries, claiming that after visiting each other's countries, lawyers will gain experience and definitely promote brotherhood between both the countries.

“For India and Pakistan, cricket is not just a game, it is a highly emotional issue and these proposed matches will bring back special memories for cricket-loving lawyers of both nations,” Aggarwala said.
