No revival of India's tour to Pak -- Govt


New Delhi, Dec 26: India on Tuesday dismissed reports that the cancelled Indian cricket team's tour of Pakistan was still on saying there was no proposal to review its decision not to External Affairs Ministry spokesman said ``there is no proposal at present to review the decision regarding our cricket team's tour of Pakistan.''

``It is a sensitive matter, I can't say anything on it,''he said.

The fresh round of speculation about the tour started after Pakistan Cricket Board Chief Lt Gen Tauqir Zia said in Islamabad on Monday that he had received positive signals that India could go there for a short tour next month.

Zia said Pakistan's representative in the International Cricket Council Ehsan Mani had talked to BCCI president AC Muthiah who told him that India was planning a short tour of Pakistan.

The tour, comprising four Tests and five one-dayers, was originally scheduled for December-January but was cancelled by the Indian Government citing Pakistan's support to cross-border terrorism in Kashmir.
