The only condition BCCI placed before PCB is that the series should be held in India, not UAE.

Matches were most likely to be held at places like Kolkata and Mohali where there will be no disruptions from political parties. Lastly, The Indian Cricket Board gave an assurance that it would make sure PCB don't incur any losses for playing their home series in India.
PCB, on the other hand, is firm on playing Ind-Pak series in UAE. A final call will be taken after consulting Pakistan Prime Minister.
