KARACHI: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has increased its efforts to putup a strong defence in their financial compensation case against the Boardof Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).
The PCB has officially launched a complaint against BCCI for not honouringthe Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed by both boards at the time ofthe formation of ‘Big Three’ and asked for compensation of $70 million forfinancial loses.
To resolve this matter, ICC constituted a three-member dispute resolutioncommittee which will hear both parties on October 3 in Dubai later thisyear.
According to sources, both PCB and BCCI have submitted their writtenresponses to the committee and are now waiting to receive the opposition’sreplies.
Pakistan and India were supposed to play six bilateral series starting from2015 till 2023, four of which were supposed to be hosted by the Men inGreen.
However, the BCCI hasn’t fulfilled its commitment; citing political tensionbetween the two countries as the reason for cancelling all bilateral ties.
PCB officials — including chairman Najam Sethi, COO Subhan Ahmed and others— will meet lawyers in the United Kingdom next week.
