Rajeev Shukla meets Shahryar Khan, says duo had general talks

Rajeev Shukla refused to divulge details of the meeting, stating it wasn't official.

New Delhi: IPL chairman Rajeev Shukla on Tuesday met PCB chief Shahryar Khan in New Delhi.

Shukla refused to divulge details of the meeting, stating it wasn't official.

"These were just general talks, no official talks. If series will happen or not will be decided by Mr. Shashank Manohar," he said.

Khan is in the capital after his meeting with BCCI president Shashank Manohar could not be held in Mumbai on Monday due to protests by Shiv Sena.

"Mr Najam Sethi has flown to Dubai. I am trying to meet Mr Arun Jaitley and discuss the issue with him. Unke saath Milne ki koshish jaari hain (Trying my best to meet him)," he told PTI over phone from the city hotel where he has put up.

The much-anticipated series scheduled in December has been thrown into jeopardy owing to the Sena protests at the BCCI office during which the party's workers gheraoed Board chief Shashank Manohar in his chamber.
