Pervez may not attend Kochi ODI

However, sources at the PM's Office in New Delhi said they are still trying to work out a mutually convenient date.

Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf has expressed his inability to make it to Kochi to watch the Indo-Pak one-day cricket match on April 2, suggested by India, sources in the Prime Minister's Office said on Tuesday.

The sources also made it clear that Prime Minister Manmohan Singh will be meeting Musharraf when he visits to watch a match but "there is no formal agenda for bilateral talks".

"This is not going to be a summit meeting. President Musharraf wants to witness a match. We are trying to work out a mutually convenient date," they said.

India had suggested Kochi as one of the preferred venues for Musharraf to watch the one-day cricket match but the Pakistan President has expressed his inability to make it due to prior commitments, the sources said.
