Media Release - 23 February 2005

 

PCB was perturbed to learn from Indian News reports that the Pakistan-India series could be postponed if a High court decision did not permit the BCCI to decide on television rights for the series. PCB felt that cricket fans on both sides of the border were eagerly awaiting the series and that another postponement would be highly disappointing for the public. It would also lead to severe loss of revenue for both Boards and dislocation in logistics for a postponed tour. Moreover, a further postponement of the tour would be difficult because Pakistan would be touring the West Indies in early May. PCB hopes that the television rights issue would be resolved expeditiously so that the tour can proceed on schedule.
