India and Pakistan can play a 3-match T20 series this year. If this happens, then after 8 years, both teams will clash in a bilateral series. The last T20 and ODI series between the two was played in December 2012. The T20 series was a 1–1 draw, while the one-day series was won by Pakistan 2–1. According to a Pakistan Cricket Board official, he has been asked to prepare for it.
Discussions can be held in the International Cricket Council (ICC) meeting to be held next week, while the Indian Foreign Ministry has said that no decision has been taken on the matter yet. The Indian Foreign Minister and the Pakistani Foreign Minister are expected to meet on 30 March. During this time, a bilateral cricket series can be agreed upon between the two countries.
Looking for the 6-day window for the T20 series
According to the report of Pakistani newspaper Daily Jung, the competition between the two countries is possible this year. The newspaper quoted a source in the PCB as saying that at first, the officer refused to speak on the matter. But later he told that there can be a 3 match T20 series between the two teams and the search for a 6-day window is going on for this.
Pakistan visited India in 2012-13
The newspaper said that if the series starts between India and Pakistan, the Indian team will visit Pakistan. This is because the last time a bilateral series between the two teams took place in 2012-13, the Pakistan team visited India.
The chairman of PCB denied the series
However, PCB chairman Ehsan Mani flatly denied this. During an interview on a channel, he said that no one has contacted him nor has the Board of India (BCCI) spoken to him regarding this series so far.

India will have one month of free time in July after the final of the World Test Championship. This window can be used for the India-Pakistan series. After this, India also has to play a 5 Test series against England in August.
The series ends on September 14. After the England series and before the World Cup starting in October, Team India will have about 1 month. This window can also be used for the T20 series between the two.
The last T20 match between the two teams took place in 2016.
India and Pakistan have not played any bilateral series for 9 years. The two have not faced each other in the Test series since the 2007–08 season.

Then India defeated Pakistan by 6 wickets in this match of ICC T20 World Cup.
