Widow of Bob Woolmer, Gill had written to the cricket Board's of Pakistan and Indian to arrange a Twenty20 match to raise funds for the academy coming up in memory of her husband in Cape Town.
"It is just not possible to schedule any match for the next year or so because of our hectic international schedule. But we are willing to help in other ways to set up the academy," Director, cricket operations, Pakistan cricket Board Zakir Khan, said.
He said that Woolmer remained a much admired and respected person in Pakistan cricket and since his death the Board had been supportive of his family in many ways.
"But it is very difficult to play a twenty20 match with India because even when we tour India in November-December the itinerary is already finalized and can't be revised," he said.
