Reports that the Pakistan Cricket Board has asked the last one-day game between India and Pakistan to be shifted from New Delhi to Mumbai has added to the problems of Arun Jaitley, president of the Delhi and District Cricket Association.

India and Pakistan are slated to play the fifth and final one-dayer at Delhi's Ferozeshah Kotla ground on April 9, but the venue was rejected by the PCB's two-member committee as there appeared no likelihood of the ground being ready for the match.

Jaitley lost his cool when a journalist asked him if the ground and the new cricket stadium, currently under construction, would be ready for the game. "Please do not ask such questions," the former law minister snapped in an informal chat with newspersons in New Delhi on Monday.

He accused the media of being unpatriotic by highlighting the absence of BCCI officials during the PCB officials' visit to the Ferozeshah Kotla ground.

He said the PCB team had failed to intimate DDCA officials of their intended visit. "(BCCI Vice-President) Rajiv Shukla, who was taking the PCB team around, suddenly brought them to the DDCA," Jaitley said.

"I am trying my best to get the stadium ready for the match. We have yet to put air conditioning systems in place though we have floated tenders for it," he explained.

Heavy rains in Delhi these last two days have further upset the DDCA's schedule.

"Over 700 people are working day and night to meet the deadline," Jaitley added.
