PCB chairman Zaka Ashraf has said that India are not interested for the resumption of Indo-Pak cricket ties as BCCI fears its struggling team would face the tough time against in-form Pakistan.

"If you see our team is doing very well and it has beaten England. The players are charged up and their morale is very high. In contrast everyone knows how the Indian team has been performing in Australia," Zaka Ashraf, the PCB chief, said.

"I get a feeling they are avoiding playing us because Pakistan team is doing very well. What I know is that perhaps the Indian board doesn't want to play at this time because it is nervous that if their team loses against us the reaction of their people could be strong," he added.

Both India and Pakistan haven't played a bilateral series since the Mumbai terror attack in Novemeber, 2008.

India have sidelined a FTP home series against Pakistan this year. India were scheduled to play three Tests, lone T20 international and five one-dayers against Pakistan this year.
