KARACHI: Pakistan has kicked off a legal battle against India for not honouring a bilateral cricket series agreement, the sport´s governing body confirmed Thursday.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is seeking $70 million in compensation from the Board of Control for Cricket in India after the country failed to attend two series in 2014 and 2015 as part of a memorandum of understanding signed between the two boards.
The International Cricket Council confirmed receiving the notice.
"The ICC has received a Notice of Dispute from the PCB´s lawyers, which will be forwarded to the Chairman of the Dispute Resolutions Committee next week," a spokesman for the ICC said.
The ICC Dispute Resolution Committee is headed by Michael Beloff QC who will appoint independent adjudicators to hear the case.
The PCB sent a legal notice to their counterparts earlier this year but Indian officials rejected the memorandum as "a piece of paper".
The arch-rivals have not played a full bilateral series since 2007.
