Pakistan Cricket Board Chairman Shaharyar Khan today disclosed that the PCB had incurred losses amounting to USD 200 million because of the Indian team not playing bilateral cricket series in Pakistan.
"I informed the BCCI representative at the International Cricket Council (ICC) meeting recently that PCB had incurred losses of around USD 200 million because of India's refusal to play us and these losses were mounting as the BCCI was not even honouring a legal agreement to play bilateral series between 2015 and 2023," he said.
Khan said that Pakistan was now awaiting the confirmation of the new draft constitution of the ICC, which is expected to be approved in April, to start legal process against the BCCI.
"The new draft constitution has a clause for a disputes resolution committee and once the constitution is final we intend to take our case against the BCCI first to this committee," he told reporters in Lahore.
Khan said the BCCI representative had told him in the ICC meeting that the Indian Board was willing to play with Pakistan but could not do this without first getting government clearance.
Khan said the BCCI official had said that because of government non clearance they saw the MoU not applicable as 'Force Majeure'.
"I told him that they should have thought about their government before signing the MoU which is a legal agreement as per our lawyers," he said.
"I told him that India had denied us two home series the losses of which were around USD 200 million," Khan added.
India has not played any bilateral cricket with Pakistan since 2007 although in the winter of 2012/13, Pakistan made a short goodwill tour to India to play a couple of limited over games.
India, which plays Pakistan in ICC and Asian Cricket Council events, last toured Pakistan in 2015/16 for a full Test series.
