BCCI secretary Niranjan Shah said the board would take a decision only if Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) approached it for support.

"At this point of time, we are not taking any stand. Nobody has approached us for anything (over the issue). When anybody approaches BCCI, we will take our decision," Shah told PTI.

Asked if the Board would favour the PCB or remain neutral, he said the decision on this would be taken at the appropriate time.

However, Shah on Tuesday told the Sydney Morning Herald, "We would never say no to any umpire that the International Cricket Council (ICC) supported."

"If the ICC is happy with (Darrell Hair), then we are happy. Let us see a report first, and if Hair has made a mistake, then we will see what happens. But it is up to the ICC to take action."

Though India and Pakistan have had a turbulent history on the pitch, it had been expected that India would support their neighbours in their stance against Hair and refuse to participate in matches in which he officiates.
