Cricket South Africa's announcement of their summer schedule appears to have rattled a few cages in India, as the BCCI say they were not consulted about the itinerary and it had not been finalised.
The Indian authorities are not happy about the number of games on the schedule, and say the seven ODIs on the list for December are too many. They feel the itinerary discussion had not reached a conclusion and should not have been released.
BCCI secretary Sanjay Patel told ESPNcricinfo: "We have written to CSA mentioning that while we have been discussing the tour itinerary, nothing had been agreed upon (before they announced the schedule).
"The discussions are on and a consensual decision will come soon."
CSA said they hadn't heard anything from their Indian counterparts, either formal or informal, but said they would be happy to discuss the matter and resolve it 'amicably'.
Michael Owen Smith, CSA media consultant, said: "If the BCCI has any concerns they can raise them with us and we will sort them out amicably as we have always done in the past."
India leave for New Zealand directly after their trip to South Africa ends in mid-January, and a BCCI insider said the players would prefer finishing a week earlier and having a break before jetting off to the Antipodes.
The source said: "If we have five ODIs, perhaps the tour can get over a week early and the boys can have a week-long break before flying to New Zealand."
