Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has sent a legal notice to the International Cricket Council (ICC) to set up a Dispute Resolution Committee for adjudicating the matter of Indian cricket board not honouring its promise of playing bilateral series with Pakistan.

According to Geo News, following the notice, a three-member dispute panel is likely to be formed, with Hon Michael Beloff QC, the chairman of Disputes Resolution Committee in chair, and the other two members to be nominated by claimant (PCB) and defendant (BCCI). The dispute resolution matter will be governed by British law.

In 2014, Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and PCB signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), according to which the two archrivals were to play eight bilateral series between 2015-2023.

However, Indian board has repeatedly snubbed Pakistan’s request for resumption of cricket ties, with the MoU commitment remaining subjected to clearance from the Indian government.

Earlier this year, the PCB sent a legal notice to its Indian counterpart for failing to honour the MoU and said it would initiate legal action against the BCCI for not fulfilling its promise.
