Official announcement नहीं हुआ, पर सारे संकेत बता रहे हैं कि बात होने वाली है — जैसे ताश के बँटे हुए cards से game का अंदाज़ा लग जाता है। यही on the cards है: संभावित।
No official announcement has been made, yet every sign says it will happen — just as the cards dealt in a game hint at how it will end. That is 'on the cards': possible or likely.
