The Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh [ Images ] has still to decide on whether to accept an invitation from Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf [ Images ] to visit Pakistan to watch a match of the forthcoming cricket series between the two countries.

Pakistan's foreign office spokeswoman Tasneem Aslam said Singh had accepted a longstanding invitation to visit Pakistan though he has never committed to any date, and on Saturday Musharraf extended an informal invitation to watch a one-day match during India's [ Images ] current tour of Pakistan.

"But it remains to be decided when he will come or which match he would prefer to watch," she said.

Cricket historically has played a big role in improving diplomatic relations between the two neighbouring countries with President Musharraf also visiting Delhi [ Images ] last year to watch a one-day international between the two teams.

In 2004, the Indian team's first visit to Pakistan in 14 years played a big role in increasing people to people contact and boosting the peace process.
