 The deadlock over a proposed series between arch-rivals India and Pakistan continued on Sunday with the heads of both the boards present in Dubai.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) Shashank Manohar is here to familiarise with the working of the International Cricket Council (ICC) after taking over as its chairman.
Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Shaharyar Khan is also in Dubai to watch Pakistan play England in the one-day series, but there is no meeting scheduled between him and Monohar.
Pakistan and India have not played a bilateral series since 2007. India stalled cricketing ties in the aftermath of 2008 Mumbai attacks.
Under the MoU both the boards had agreed to play six series between 2015-2023, with four series to be hosted by Pakistan.
But all series were subject to clearance from the respective governments.
The December-January series comprises of two Tests, five one-day and two Twenty20 internationals but with time running out the series could be shortened to limited over matches. There are reports that another neutral venue - Sri Lanka or Bangladesh - could also be considered, if India continued to refuse as UAE as venue.
PCB has hoped mediation from England and Wales Cricket Board president Giles Clarke, also here in Dubai to meet Manohar later Sunday, can help in a breakthrough on the fate of the series.
