Pakistan have proposed early starts to the Tests and one-day internationals against India to help deal with the winter weather and short days.

Pakistan's Tests against England [Images] in the recent series at Faisalabad and Lahore [Images] were badly hit by bad light and fog forcing early closures to the playing days.

Some 70 overs were lost in the second Test in Faisalabad and a similar number in the final Test in Lahore despite use of floodlights.
