New Delhi, Jan 11: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Tuesday ruled out visiting Pakistan to watch Indo-Pak cricket match saying he had a "busy schedule" but would make a bilateral visit at an "appropriate time."

"I have not been invited", he quipped when asked he would be travelling to Pakistan to witness any of the cricket matches.

Asked whether he would reject if a formal invite came from Islamabad, Singh, who has accepted in principle invitation extended by Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf to visit that country when two met in New York last year, said: "There is no question of rejecting it."

"I have a busy schedule", the Prime Minister said referring to upcoming visits by leaders from Saudi Arabia, France and other countries.

In April last year, Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf expressed his desire to witness a one-dayer in Delhi and New Delhi had responded promptly and extended an invitation to him.
