India-Pakistan Ceasefire Holds at 72 Hours — Cricket Board Asks BCCI for Series Resumption Signal

["The ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan, brokered through US Secretary of State and Saudi Crown Prince mediation, has held for 72 consecutive hours with no violations reported at the Line of Control.","In a significant gesture, Pakistan Cricket Board CEO formally wrote to BCCI requesting discussions on a possible bilateral cricket series, the first such communication in over three years.","The Indian Ministry of External Affairs said the ceasefire is fragile and India remains vigilant, but acknowledged that back-channel diplomatic talks through the Saudi channel are ongoing.","For the Keralite Gulf diaspora, especially in Saudi Arabia and UAE, the ceasefire brings relief. Flights between Gulf hubs and both Indian and Pakistani cities have fully resumed, and air fares have dropped 30% from the war-scare highs of last week."]
