Karachi, February 15: : Apprehending Australia may pull out of the forthcoming tour of Pakistan on security grounds, the Cricket Board is thinking of arranging a short-term one-day series with India in the free period.

A Pakistan Cricket Board source said talks had been initiated with some boards whose teams had free time in March-April.

"Yes, there have been some discussions with the Indian board to arrange a three or five match one-day series before they host South Africa at home. But nothing is concrete as yet," the source said.

He said informal talks had also been held with Bangladesh who are free during that period.

Cricket Australia has said that independent security advisors have cautioned them against playing in Pakistan because of the uncertain security situation.

The Australian media has also been playing up the issue by reporting that some players did not want to tour Pakistan because of security fears.

A PCB official said efforts were being made to convince the Australians to come to Pakistan and a meeting would be held in Kuala Lumpur this week with CA officials.

"But we are aware that they are finding excuses to back out and we are studying all possible options," he added.
