IPL Chairman and senior Board functionary Rajiv Shukla said, the talks have not been called off adding that Mr Manohar and Mr Khan will speak to each other in evening today and tomorrow they are coming to Delhi for another round of talks.
Mr. Manohar had invited Mr. Khan for talks on the much-awaited series scheduled in December.
Khan and PCB’s executive committee head Najam Sethi are in the city for the meeting after discussing the planned series with BCCI secretary Anurag Thakur earlier on the sidelines of the ICC meeting in Dubai.
