ICC rejects Pakistan compensation claim over India
DUBAI, Nov 20, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – The International Cricket Council on
Tuesday dismissed a compensation claim by Pakistan over India’s 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 decision is non-appealable.”
The dispute centred on a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) according to
which India and Pakistan had agreed to play six bilateral series between
2015-2023, four of which would be hosted by Pakistan.
The PCB had filed a compensation claim of 70 million dollars.
But India refused to play Pakistan citing the government’s objections due
to strained relations with Pakistan.
