Shalini,

The SA cricket board has rejected the itenerary BCCI had proposed. They want to play tests as well as ODI's. But now they have other problem. The schedules of both the teams are so cramped, that adding tests to the current seven ODI's is not possible. BCCI doesn't want to cancel ODI's. I hope it's not an impasse. They will find some amicable solution to this.

I also heard Pakistan is likely to tour India for some Jubilee tournament. I'm not quite sure what's that though.

Nikhil.
