DUBAI: The International Cricket Council on Tuesday dismissed the Pakistan Cricket Board’s (PCB) claim for compensation from the Indian cricket board over its refusal to honour an agreement to play bilateral series.
“Following a three-day hearing and having considered detailed oral and written submissions, the Dispute Panel has dismissed the PCB’s claim against the BCCI,” the ICC said in a statement. “The judgement…is binding and non-appealable.”
The PCB had demanded 70 million dollars in compensation from India, saying that a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed in 2014 had guaranteed six India-Pakistan bilateral series between 2015 and 2023, four of which would be hosted by Pakistan.
Following BCCI’s refusal to play citing the Indian government’s objections, PCB filed a notice of dispute with the cricket’s governing body last November claiming damages from the Indian cricket board.
