Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Shaharyar Khan fears the chances of a series against India in December are slim as the Indian board is still waiting to get clearance from its government.
"I don't want to give India any ultimatum," Khan told reporters in Lahore on Tuesday.
"(But) the chances (of a series) are getting slimmer because I think their problem is they mix politics with sports."
Both the PCB and the Board of Control for Cricket in India last year signed a Memorandum of Understanding to play six series' between 2015 and 2023, with Pakistan hosting India for tests, ODIs and Twenty20s in the United Arab Emirates in December.
Khan said he had raised the issue of Pakistan v India series with BCCI officials at least three times during various meetings of the International Cricket Council since he took over as PCB chairman last September.
"We are not pleading them, we are not kneeling down, we are just telling them that you have signed a MoU and tell us whether you are honouring it or not," Khan said.
The PCB chairman hopes India will decide either way about December's tour and he is likely to meet with secretary general BCCI Anurag Thakur on the sidelines of an ICC meeting in UAE in October.
"Now the ball is in the Indian court," he said.
"I will talk to whosoever comes from India and tell him that so far you haven't taken the permission from your government, which is quite unfair."
Both countries have not played a test match since India beat Pakistan 1-0 at home in 2007.
Khan insisted the PCB could financially survive even without playing against its arch-rival.
"We are not going to plead them to come and play, after all we haven't played against them for the last seven to eight years," he said.
