Plus BCCI have promised them games any reduction would be catastrophic for those boards.

Rich the problem with the tri series is that no boards want to host them because of the neutral games.

Of course we want them to have their own series but to be honest it's unlikely to happen right now so this would be the next best thing. Far more value in England playing Afghanistan or UAE as a warm up for a Pakistan tour than Pakistan A or a club side.
So something like this...
Teams touring England - play warm-up against Ireland, Scotland and/or Netherlands.
Touring SA - play Kenya, Namibia (although both may be a bit too weak at the moment).
Touring Australia/NZ - play PNG.
Touring Pakistan (UAE) - play Afghanistan, UAE.
Touring Asian sub-continent - Afghanistan, UAE, Hong Kong or even Nepal.
There's no strong associate in the Americas but hopefully one day - Canada, USA or Bermuda will be an option.
