Agreeing to ICC FTP depends on bilateral series with India - PCB
On the day India decided on
its FTP plan for the period of 2019 to 2023 in a Special General Meeting (SGM), the Pakistan Cricket Board has stated in an official release that it will oppose the upcoming international cricket schedules if it doesn't include bilateral series with their neighbours.
"Our position is that PCB's agreement to the revised structures for international cricket is subject to the condition that PCB has a valid agreement to play bilateral matches with India and India vs Pakistan matches would be included in the FTP. This continues to be our position," an official release stated on Monday (December 11).
PCB went on to reveal that it has taken up the matter with ICC's Dispute Resolution Committee, and will base its decisions on the outcome of the dispute hearing.
"PCB has also informed the ICC that it has initiated a dispute resolution process against the BCCI under the ICC Dispute Resolution Committee Terms of Reference. Further to that, the PCB's claim is based on an existing agreement with the BCCI which contemplates that India will tour Pakistan in December 2019, August 2020 and Nov - Dec 2022 and Pakistan will tour India in Nov - Dec 2021.
