ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Shaharyar Khan says chances of a series against India in December looks slim as the Indian board is still waiting to get clearance from its government.

Both the PCB and the Board of Control for Cricket in India last year signed a Memorandum of Understanding to play six series' between 2015-2023 with Pakistan hosting India for tests, ODIs and Twenty20s in the United Arab Emirates in December.

Khan says he doesn't want to give India any ultimatum to confirm December's tour, but thinks "chances are slim as they mix politics with sports."

The PCB chairman hopes India will decide either way about December's tour before he meets with BCCI officials on the sidelines of the ICC meeting in UAE in October.
