According to the report of Hindustan Times, both the sides seem ready for talks. The ICC delegation was successful in convincing Naqvi to reconsider his decision and talk to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.
Naqvi, who is also the Home Minister of Pakistan, will meet Shehbaz Sharif on Monday (February 9) and will give information about the discussions held with the ICC delegation.
