File Pic[/caption] Internet Desk: The bilateral series between India and Pakistan women’s team is in doubts. The two have till the end of October to play the series, but the BCCI has not replied to the PCB's queries on the series since May either they will play or not. If the series is not played, an ICC official told the media that the matter of how the points will be awarded will be referred to the technical committee. The PCB wants India to forfeit the six points available for the series if they do not agree to play with them. Pakistan is due to host India for this series, which is supposed to be of three ODIs, and the PCB is also eager to play the series in the UAE. Eight teams are part of the ICC Women's Championship; the top four at the end of the championship, which runs over two and a half years, gain automatic entry into the 2017 Women's World Cup in England. The bottom four will have to qualify via a ten-team qualification tournament in early 2017. "The two sides have until the end of this month to play the series, which has to be hosted by Pakistan," the ICC official said. "If the series doesn't go ahead, then the matter will be referred to the Technical Committee." A BCCI official said the board has not made a decision on the matter yet, and that it would be binding on the Indian government's call. "This is for the government to decide. The BCCI doesn't have a say in this," the official said. "We still have time to make a decision." India and Pakistan's women's teams are also scheduled to play the Asia Cup in Thailand between November 25 and December 5.
