Karachi: Pakistan's cricket chief has admitted the terror attacks in Mumbai have badly hit the chances of India undertaking a test tour of Pakistan in January.

Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Ejaz Butt said on Friday he was uncertain over the Indian team's visit after militant attacks killed at least 125 people earlier this week.

"Before this tragic incident took place we were pretty confident the Indians would tour," Butt told a news conference.

"But now the scenario has definitely changed and now it is entirely up to the governments what they decide," he said.

India is due to play three tests, five one-day internationals and a twenty20 game on a tour lasting nearly 46 days.
