Pakistan Cricket Board has asked the BCCI to include Mohali on the list of places for the long-awaited Indo-Pak series later this year.
PCB sources told PTI that the Board is still awaiting a response from the BCCI in the request for a match in Mohali.
"The Indians we had sent a tentative itinerary for the three ODIs and two T20 matches and we have formally requested that atleast one match in Mohali," said a source.
He said the emphasis on having a match in Mohali was done keeping in mind that it is a convenient place for visitors from Pakistan.
In the past visitors, Pakistanis have found it easier to go to Mohali to watch the games because of its proximity to the border road Wagah.
"Officially we have confirmed our acceptance of the invitation to tour India BCCI for short series, but we are waiting for a response on the application for Mohali. The remaining venues agree with us."
The BCCI has not scheduled any party in Mumbai and picked Bangalore, Chennai, Ahmedabad, Kolkata and Delhi between the venues to host matches.
Normally, it is the prerogative of the Board to finalize the venues hosting a series.
