Lahore:&nbsp;PCB Chairman Shaharyar Khan today&nbsp;said BCCI President Shashank Manohar has invited him for talks&nbsp;on the proposed Indo-Pak cricket series, the future of which&nbsp;is uncertain in the wake of strained political relations&nbsp;between the two countries.
Since newly-elected BCCI President Manohar did not attend&nbsp;the ICC conference in Dubai, Khan spoke to his Indian&nbsp;counterpart over phone.

"Since he was not at the ICC meeting I phoned him and he&nbsp;invited me to tour India after a Working Committee meeting of&nbsp;the BCCI and I hope to get a final answer in eight to 10&nbsp;days," Khan said at a media conference in Lahore.&nbsp;
"I have told the Board of Control for Cricket in India&nbsp;(BCCI) officials during discussions with them in Dubai that&nbsp;they must confirm or reject the tour in the next 10 to 12&nbsp;days," he said.
"The new President of the Indian board Shashank Manohar&nbsp;has assured us that he is keen on having Indo-Pak series and&nbsp;on resolving all issues between the two boards. We have&nbsp;stressed on the need to further improve relations between the&nbsp;two Boards," Khan said.
The former diplomat said that he had stressed upon the&nbsp;Indian board officials that they must honour the MoU signed&nbsp;between the two Boards to play six bilateral series between&nbsp;2015-2023, starting Pakistan's 'home' series in December this&nbsp;year.
The PCB chief said they had also informed the ICC about&nbsp;the BCCI not honouring the MoU as yet.
He said as far as Pakistan was concerned Prime Minister&nbsp;Nawaz Sharif had already given a go-ahead that cricket must be&nbsp;played between the two nations.&nbsp;
"So there is no delay on our side we are ready. The ball&nbsp;is now in the court of the Indian Board," he said.
With India tied up in their home series with South Africa&nbsp;until December 5 and then also scheduled to host Australia from early January, speculations are rife that the Indian&nbsp;Board might get clearance to play a revised series in December&nbsp;in the UAE.
PCB sources said the series could now have a Test, three&nbsp;ODIs and two T20 matches but indications are the series will&nbsp;be held in December.&nbsp;
