The Indian Board has rejected the Pakistan's proposal for a short 3-Match One-Day series in Mid-March. All the 3 Matches were scheduled to be held in Lahore. This move was being taken by the Pakistan Board since the Australia tour to Pakistan was shortened but India felt their Player's schedule was too tight to accomodate a short tour in Mid-March." The players have had a long and strenuous tour of Australia and will return only on March 8 or 9," said Niranjan Shah, the board secretary for BCCI. The South Africa tour of India is scheduled to start on March 20 with India A taking on the South Africans and the first Test Match between India and South Africa is to be held in Chennai on March 26. However the Indians are likely to tour Pakistan for a short One-Day Series before the Champions trophy in september-October 2008.
