Salman Naseer who is the legal advisor of PCB has visited London to prepare for this legal battle as per an official of PCB.
"He went there to complete the preparations for filing claim for compensation. We have already told the BCCI officials at the ICC meeting that we intend to sue them for compensation," he said.
The Official further added that the claim for compensation would be for the revenues that Pakistan would have generated if they would have hosted India in two series under the MoU that was signed between the two Boards back in 2014.
The official also made it certain that if BCCI failed to get clearance from Govt. of India it’s not a problem for PCB as ICC is an independent body and all its members have to honour the commitments that they made.
He said that Pakistan had not opposed the Big Three system of governance and distribution of revenues among member countries from ICC events in 2014 because of the MoU signed with India.
"We feel that we are justified and legally in a strong position to now claim compensation from the Indian board for all the losses we have suffered because of their refusal to play us," the official said.
Under the MoU, India and Pakistan were scheduled to play six series - three of them home events for Pakistan between 2015 and 2023.
"But that has not been the case and we lost estimated revenues close to $200 million," the official said.
