BCCI's response came after Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) president Shaharyar Khan had expressed that the process needed to be speeded up for logistical reasons.

SK Nair, the joint secretary of the BCCI, said that the board had to clear a few logistical issues of its own before the schedules could be announced. He told this website that matters were "in their (the BCCI's) control", and refused to state what the problems were, but added that the PCB had been informed.

In response to Shaharyar's apprehension about Pakistan playing in Mumbai, Nair said, "They have to give us logical reasons against a particular centre, and then we will examine them."
