PCB to take ‘legal action’ against BCCI: Shaharyar Khan

LAHORE: Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Shaharyar Khan said on Thursday that there was no chance of an Indo-Pak cricket series taking place and disclosed that the board will take legal action against Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).

“We will first raise this matter with International Cricket Council (ICC). If our matter could not be resolved by the ICC committee, then we will approach court and send legal notice to the Indian board,” Khan told journalists after 44th Board of Governors meeting at National Cricket Academy here on Thursday.

PCB chief’s remarks came following the statement by the Indian Home Ministry where it disallowed permission to hold series with Pakistan.

Shaharyar Khan said that the board was closely monitoring the Big Three matter and in its meeting with ICC, PCB would oppose the Big Three.

“The meeting with ICC officials will be held in April,” said Shaharyar Khan.

The PCB Chairman also spoke of the World XI coming to Pakistan in September and said that ICC representative Jiles Clark was satisfied with the security arrangements.
