The Board of Control for Cricket in India on Wednesday denied receiving any request from the Pakistan Cricket Board to accommodate a one-off Twenty20 international during next month's series.

"Where's the question? We have not received any request from the PCB on the issue," BCCI secretary Niranjan Shah said.

News reports from Pakistan said that the PCB wanted a one-off T20 tie to raise funds for former coach Bob Woolmer's [Images] dream project -- a cricket academy in South Africa.

The BCCI has always maintained that it would be difficult to accommodate the T20 tie because of the Indian team's tight schedule.

On the proposed Indian Premier League, Shah said the first meeting of the IPL governing council will be held on Thursday.

"Lalit Modi (match commissioner and chairman of the league) will give the latest details about the IPL during the meeting," Shah added.
