"In the letter the PCB chairman has pointed out that the PCB delegation went to India on the invitation of the BCCI and still didn't get the required hospitality," the source said.

"He has said in the letter that it was disappointing and a matter of concern that the BCCI didn't hold the promised talks on the series because of one incident of the Shiv Sena activists storming the Indian board offices in Mumbai," the source said.
