Pakistan have asked India for changes to the proposed itinerary of next month's Test and one-day series in India.

Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Shaharyar Khan did not elaborate on the proposed changes to reporters but a source within the PCB said there were concerns over Ahmedabad hosting the second Test.

Pakistan are due to tour India from February 25, playing three Tests and five one-day internationals. Ahmedabad, in Gujarat, was the site of some of the worst communal riots in India in 2002.

"Playing at Ahmedabad will bring political overtones to the tour," the source said on condition of anonymity.

Khan met the representative of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) Jagmohan Dalmiya in Dubai on Monday on the sidelines of the Asian cricket Council (ACC) meeting. The other proposed Test venues are Mohali and Bangalore, with the one-dayers at Cochin, Vishakapatnam, Delhi, Jamshedpur and Kanpur.
