After the Board of Governors meeting yesterday, it was revealed in the press conference that PCB is allocating a billion rupees from its budget to fight BCCI at the ICC. These costs are for lawyers etc. in London that will put forth PCB's point of view now that they are trying to sue the BCCI.

PCB says that BCCI signed a MOU that was supposed to see the two countries play six series with Pakistan 'hosting' four of them which would result in hundreds of billion of rupees in revenue for Pakistan (I hope I got this figure correct....). However, BCCI say that the government hasn't given them clearance to take part in series with Pakistan. PCB's response to that is 'This isn't our problem'.

Is it a good move and could it lead to compensation and/or resumption of cricketing ties or is it simply a waste of money considering that there was no official contract for these series between Pakistan and India?
 
Who is accountable for use of that money? Legal costs? Travel costs of PCB guys etc - end result nothing!
 
pathetic by PCB

Absolute waste of money, this money could be used to improve cricket infrastructure in smaller cities
 
this is what looting money in the name of something... 30% of the allocated will be spent to showcase the cause, 70% will be shared among the BOG as salary or allowance...its known fact in a corrupt world...
 
Typical choti Pakistani soch. This is a small investment versus the amount of money the BCCI owes the PCB for cancelling so many tours, going back on their commitments, for promising things and backing out at the last minute, for hiding behind the so called govt ban.

This 1 billion expenditure is nothing compared the the numerous billions the PCB will receive upon winning and receiving BCCI compensation.

This is why Pakistani's in general just loved to be enslaved to employment whereas the rest of the world looks at the larger picture.
 
A good eye wash to take that huge amount by PCB top officials like shakil Sheikg, Sherri and Shahriar

The point here is not about 'Pakistani soch' and being 'slaved to employment', it's about the likelihood of PCB having a strong enough legal case against BCCI to actually get anything out of this.

From my admittedly limited knowledge about it, it doesn't seem likely they do.

That's why I created the thread, though!

Strong case or not, nothing more left to lose, time to tell these Indians we will not take this crap forever.
 
The PCB has handled this poorly.

The BCCI is an extension of its government. This means strong-arming their cricket board is a futile exercise and I'm surprised PAK of all cricketing nations can't recognize this.

It's a complete waste of resources.

This matter required closed-door negotiations without unnecessary declarations to the media. If the BCCI remained reluctant, you move on and maintain good relations with them. The moment you get aggressive, you lose any positivity between the two boards.
 
The height of stupidity. This is basically wasting money, feel like there is more to this story than what meets the eye. Feel like some money is going to be going elsewhere as well.

They need to finish this saga, BCCI can't do anything if GoI doesn't give clearance, that's like PCB playing India even if GoP doesn't give clearance.

Pretty cowardly stuff to be honest. We have been doing closed door negotiation and being spat on for the last 10 years with plenty of intentions and desire for a good relationship with them.

And for the record, the govt of India did not explicitly forbid the BCCI or the Indian team from playing against Pakistan, certainly not when the Pakistani and Indian Hockey, Football, Kabadi teams were playing each other in their respective countries and when Pakistani actors were travelling and working in India, when Pakistani media and politicians were travelling to India with impunity.

The BCCI deliberately refused to play Pakistan strictly out of the desire to maximize the economic recession in Pakistan Cricket as much as possible.

The PCB is showing some real balls here and the BCCI will be punished for their behavior and conduct in the last few years. We may not be as strong or influential like the BCCI but we aint no minnows either and should not take this crap forever.

Time for a new approach.

Just watch for instructions to the BCCI to compensate the PCB for tours missed, avoided, for back tracking on promises, for buying the PCB vote with promises of future votes, compensation for legal costs. The whole thing could become so tiresome, messy that the BCCI itself will be compelled to compensate the PCB and beg for an out of court settlement.

Some more info here on the topic:

PCB hires British law firm to sue BCCI over not playing bilateral series

Lahore: Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) plans to sue the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in the International Cricket Council (ICC) for not honouring the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for playing bilateral series with it.

Outgoing PCB chairman Shahryar Khan on Saturday disclosed that it has reserved Rs one billion to fight a legal battle against its Indian counterpart in the ICC dispute resolution committee for not honouring its promise of playing bilateral series with Pakistan.

Khan, who presided over a Board of Governors (BoG) meeting here on Friday, the last one under his chairmanship, said the BoGs had approved the amount to bear expenses of the legal fight for which qualified British lawyers had been hired.

"We have hired a British law firm to represent us in the case and file the compensation claim with the disputes resolution committee," Khan said.

Khan said the PCB was left with no choice but to move the dispute resolving committee after failing to convince the BCCI to honour the MoU.

"The BCCI claims they can`t play any bilateral series with us since their government is not giving clearance to them," he said.

In 2014, both the boards had signed an MoU under which the two arch-rivals were to play six bilateral series between 2015-2023.

As per the MoU, India was scheduled to play six series against Pakistan, four of which were going to be Pakistan`s home series.

The BCCI, however, has left it on the Indian government to decide on the series in the wake of the ongoing political tensions between the two countries.

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

I disagree.

There's nothing cowardly about being politically shrewd. Nothing has been done behind closed doors. The point of holding meetings isn't to leave the boardroom and disclose everything in front of media members.

This isn't the first time PCB is guilty of doing this either.

Just last week Shehryar Khan randomly mentioned Michael Clarke's name for the upcoming World XI games. There's a clear track record with this administration of being reckless and premature.

The BCCI isn't innocent (never claimed this!) but this is a reality that's always been known. The PCB's odd behavior and accusatory tone have left the relationship in tatters making India's job easier. On top of this, the board outdid itself by shunning Bangladesh too!

A pattern starts to develop, and it ruins diplomatic relations between cricketing boards. The BCCI can point to Pakistan's wild behavior and show it's in a state of disarray. No one will want to deal with them when they're behaving unprofessionally.

As for the lawsuit, if the PCB spends Rs 1 billion, India will spend Rs 2 billion. This is a fight you don't win!

[MENTION=76058]cricketjoshila[/MENTION] is right - there is no way to enforce any sort of legal proceedings on the BCCI/Indian govt.

This lawsuit is a complete waste of time and money.

What will lawsuits do when BCCI knows that no one can force them.There is no way for the PCB to enforce any decisions of any court on BCCI, unless it is by an Indian court.why will they even bother reply?And why will BCCI get any negative publicity in India for not humouring Pakistan.

MOU !!!

Anything on an MOU is not legally as binding as an agreement. I cannot believe that such a simple thing is going over the heads of PCB.

MOU's are fair weather and Agreements are all weather. When it is an agreement, you have to honour it no matter what. Not so much if it is just an MOU.

While I agree this is a waste of resources, it's not as clear-cut as that.

...the first category is where the parties have finalised all the terms of their agreement and intend to be bound immediately but will put those terms in a form that is more precise (but no different in effect). For example, the parties may agree on all the terms of an agreement between themselves and draw them up and sign them but also state that that they will engage a solicitor to put those terms into a formal agreement.

An agreement will usually fall into this category if it is clear that the parties intended it to be binding and the terms are clear and certain enough so as to be legally enforceable. The introduction will also usually seek to clarify that the document is intended to be legally binding.

If your agreement falls into this class then you will be bound by it even if no formal agreement is ever signed, and even if you have called it a MoU.

The PCB might be relying on this as a way to show an agreement was broken.

for once you have made some sense. I had said all along GOI's authority trumps that of BCCI and thats why the CoA would most likely eventually coerce the BCCI to agree to the ICC's terms. Voila, thats what happened.

similarly, if the GOI says no, BCCI cant play PCB. which is a shame, because the contests are usually riveting.
 
PCB is eyewashing its emotional public. They will spend (read siphon off) a billion rupee but will not gain a single dime in return from anyone.

Same arguments were made against IK when he was fighting a lone battle against the establishment and the PML N cronies and the Sharif families.

There is a difference between great entrepreneurs and people who just stick to jobs their whole lives i.e. risk taking.
 
Lol its more like we will send letters and make stupid media comments and pocket the rest of the money
 
Looks like more like a plot to have some media time and spend the extra money.

I'm an entrepreneur.

I'm telling you this is dumb. :))

Nothing wrong with IK's approach as it was clear-cut when it came to NS and his cronies. Their wrongdoings were downright illegal.

The same can't be applied to the BCCI who is in that gray area.

This will be a futile exercise.

1. Is the case strong? Did the BCCI provide enforceable guarantees? I doubt they did.

2. Has the BCCI got a defence? Can they prove that GOI banned the tours? I very much doubt they can: it's been obvious all along that it was the BCCI avoiding tours for fear of Indian TV revenue making the PCB rich and powerful.

If Pakistan wins, the money is simply deducted by the ICC from its welfare handouts to the economically crippled BCCI.

I saw tweet by ministry of an external affairs refusing to allow India-Pakistan series. So, it is safe to say that BCCI did that their due diligence i.e requesting for govt permission. Not sure what else could BCCI do if Govt of India doesn't allow the series?

For your last statement regarding BCCI being economically crippled, im really amused that you think worlds richest cricket board is struggling financially.
There are rumours that next round of IPL deal will fetch them $1Billion+ in TV revenue. Not even considering their home tour revenue which is also in millions of dollars. So, how exactly are they economically crippled?

Because the BCCI's own financial reports show that their handouts to State Cricket Associations (presumably for votes, because it ain't for grassroots development which is itemised separately) are so huge that without ICC handouts, the BCCI is insolvent.

If you go back to December 2015 on Cricinfo or PakPassion, you will see that (stupidly) right through til the very end of the month, the PCB was awaiting a response from the BCCI about its tour. And then Shaharyar Khan was kept waiting in his native India for a meeting with the BCCI.

You may have seen a tweet, but I very much doubt that the BCCI ever told the PCB in writing that the tour was off, or why.

That's the BCCI's modus operandi: they never told Cricket South Africa that the Cape Town Test in 2013-2014 wasn't happening either. They just secretly booked themselves a simultaneous tour of New Zealand, without telling either NZ or SA that they were double-booked!

If it is 1 billion PAK rupees, then it is OK only,only if they are 80% sure about winning the case... they will get $60 million...PCB has written losses worth 60 million $ in their report...
if they win then i think they will hav to compromise on the amount... but i think they will atleast get 45 - 50 million $...
but hey i dont see them winning this case... BCCI will spent billions of dollars but will never compensate PAKISTAN... it is an ego problem.
 
I think the only people getting $$$ will be the lawyers. There are several if's and but's in this case (if there is one to begin with). I do not see this ending in PCB's favor. Just good money wasted over an un-winnable case.
 
I'm against a billion dollars being spent on a single sport when the rest have gone to the dogs anyway but now that it's been done and there's nothing you can do about, Im looking at the pros being this being done. The MOU was signed and as per law, BCCI were entitled to your Pakistan (UAE) if Pakistan toured India first.

This is exactly what makes Pakistan's case stronger. Pakistan toured India at a time when the players and the entire team received a lot of threats from different people yet we went ahead with the tour because a deal was signed. India is Pakistan is always a big affair and the PCB did BCCI a favour by touring and letting them make money in hopes of India honoring their promise and replicating the favor. However, personal greed came into play and Pakistan have everyone reason to file a scale against them.

Its a good decision. PCB has lost enough money from the BCCI refusing to play Pakistan. If there is a MOU in place PCB is well within their rights to ask for compensation.

The govt of India has on various occasions ruled out playing Pakistan.The last time in May this year by the sports minister.

BCCI makes more money and more surplus than any other cricketing board JunaidS saying otherwise doesnt change it.Then again you also believed thsn Sachin Tendulkar was in need of the peanuts county cricket gave.

ICC has no jurisdiction to deduct any money.If it does act funny well it will face the law in India.
 
So now there is legit budget for PCB officials to have fun in London with their friends and relatives; and line up each others' pockets via this "legal expenses" thing? Well played, boys, well played!
 
PCB clarifies on BCCI MoU

PR LAHORE - Responding to an article published in Daily The Nation on Monday, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) clarified that there was no compensation clause in contract made with the BCCI as it did not fall under the ICC’s umbrella.

“Ref Mohsin Ali's article in The Nation of 7th August, the PCB would like to clarify some issues. All the contracts signed by the BCCI with all the cricket boards, including Pakistan, omitted to note any compensation clause because these were not guaranteed under the ICC umbrella.

Still, the PCB is seeking compensation from the BCCI of tens of millions of dollars under the ICC dispute resolution mechanism,” PCB said in a statement.

http://nation.com.pk/sports/08-Aug-2017/pcb-clarifies-on-bcci-mou
 
So the PCB is spending $$ to ask for $$ that is not mentioned in the MOU/contract or guaranteed anywhere. Is common sense totally out the door?
 
So basically PCB is expecting a miracle.

Firstly, paying $10-15 Millions on a case that is not even a case is mind boggling. Secondly, hiring a high cost law firm to process the case not even sure under which country's law if any. Lastly, ICC have no jurisdiction in muddling with affairs of Policy of Indian Govt. How will ICC ask Indian govt to stop interfering?

This 1 Billion PKR looks a scam to me by PCB mafias. First make a huge claim of strong case, then get the huge cash in the name of legal case. Now that they have the cash, PCB comes up with "No compensation clause" included in MOU. So didn't PCB saw that before processing the case that could've saved millions for PCB which could've used to improve facilities of domestic circuit.

PCB needs to be held accountable for this.
 
In the words of waqas92, let PCB spend their money how they want since they are wisest cricket board who just recently won an ICC global event.
 
After reading about the bids for PCB media rights bids I'm looking at PCB's expenses and I'm not convinced that it is sustainable.

They have recieved a bid less than $3 million per year.

The value of the central contract salary is pretty close to that.

www.sportskeeda.com

How much salary will Pakistan cricket players get after new central contract?

After months of deadlock and protests, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) have agreed on new contracts with their men's cricketers on Thursday.
www.sportskeeda.com www.sportskeeda.com

Where does PCB get the rest of it operational budget? ICC?

If PCT media rights are worth less than $10/year, it seems rather generous of ICC to hand them $35M per year.

@Red-Indian this might also be the reason why PCB officials are keeping their motor mouths shut. With BCCI puttng down the gauntlet for WC23 about Pak participation.

@Junaids love to hear thoughts.

Interesting times ahead

Having a difficult time buying in to this

what multiplier do you think got diverted? 1x 2x 5x?

I mean they rejected the first bid. we are not talking a bid about at or above reserve price. If you said 1X of reserve price bid and 1X reserve price got diverted, its a bit believable

its 0.3X reserve price. One of which was rejected.

even it is 2X reserve price, its a meagre amount compared to contributions from ICC( India)
 
The real question is how much is the PCB making for its home series from its domestic broadcasters ie A Sports?

sposorships will pay for kits not much more.

merchandise: peanuts

ICC, more precisely India: 35 M/year

home broadcasters: That is the unknown. anyone have concrete numbers on this?
