BCCI chief Jagmohan Dalmiya says India's position of not playing against Pakistan -- except in tournaments -- remains unchanged.
Dalmiya was speaking to reporters on Monday ahead of an Asian Cricket Foundation (ACF) meeting later this week in Dubai, where he will meet his Pakistani counterpart Tauqir Zia.
"The government allows us to play in multilateral events but we don't have permission to play in bilateral matches against Pakistan," Dalmiya told reporters on Monday.
"That position remains unchanged."
His comments came a day after Zia had said in Karachi he is hoping the Dubai meeting would lead to a breakthrough in cricketing relations between the nations.
"India now has to take the initiative to play us first and resume ties. We have bent backwards a lot and we can't do anything more," Zia had said.
The hostile neighbours were scheduled to play a series in Pakistan this month but the Indian government declined to send the team due to tensions over Kashmir.
The two countries have met only once, at the World Cup last month, since the Asia Cup in Dhaka in May 2000.
Pakistan are next scheduled to tour India in February next year, according to the International Cricket Council's (ICC) 10-year Test plan.
