The "cricket diplomacy"


Historically, whenever India and Pakistan have gone through a period of tension, cricket has come to the rescue. For example from 1961 to 1978, there were no diplomatic relations between the two countries and the contact was reconnected with the "Cricket Series" of 1978, a series of matches which introduced, in the vocabulary of chancelleries, the "Cricket Diplomacy".
            The most famous episode of this sporting peace occurred in 1987.
