PCB chairman Shaharyar Khan has said that it could take legal recourse and seek compensation from the the BCCI after the ICC ruled in favour of Pakistan in a dispute over the women's series which was not held in September-October in Dubai.
"The ICC had asked the BCCI to show the letters or any other documents with their external ministry to confirm it didn't send its team to play Pakistan in the ICC women's champions league in UAE on advice of its government," Shaharyar said. The ICC technical committee awarded points to our women's team declaring the series as forfeited by India because the BCCI couldn't show any document which confirmed they were stopped by their government from playing the series," he said.
The PCB chief said the ICC had told the BCCI to show any evidence to back their claim they couldn't play Pakistan in a bilateral series due to government advice. "The BCCI couldn't show any document to the ICC to back their claim which is why the ICC committee awarded six points to Pakistan," he said.
The BCCI is not happy with the ICC decision which came after Pakistan said it was ready o host India for the league championship series in Dubai. Shaharyar made it clear that the ICC decision against the BCCI had given confidence to the PCB.
"We now want the Indian board to provide the ICC with evidence that they have been told by their government to not play us in bilateral series despite a written MOU signed between the two boards in 2014 to play six such series between 2015 and 2022," he told the "Jang" newspaper.
