"No match can be added at this juncture. Their request came too late to effect any changes in the itinerary," Shah told IANS in Mumbai.

PCB wanted to replace one of the three Test matches with two Twenty20 matches and wanted to help the family of its late coach Bob Woolmer with the money generated from one of the matches.

Pakistan's tour, which also comprises five one-day international matches, starts with a limited overs practice match in Delhi on November 2.
