The International Cricket Council (ICC) has dismissed Pakistan Cricket Board’s (PCB) compensation case filed against the BCCI.
The PCB claimed a Rs 447 Crore compensation from Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) after accusing them of not honouring the bilateral ties commitments. "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 judgement is binding and non-appealable," ICC press release stated, as reported by India Today.
The BCCI and PCB signed a document 2014 to play six bilateral series between 2015 to 2023 on a home-and-away basis. The BCCI always termed this document as a ‘proposal letter.’
The BCCI claims that bilateral cricket between the two nations was subject to government clearance, which has not been granted since the 26/11 terror attacks in Mumbai.
Vinod Rai says that the BCCI will file a counter compensation case against PCB to demand the cost of the arbitration.
India and Pakistan in recent times have only played each other at multi-nation tournaments like the World Cup, Champions Trophy and the Asia Cup.
