After losing the case in the International Cricket Council's (ICC) Dispute Resolution Committee, the Pakistan Cricket Board Chairman Ehsan Mani said that PCB had to pay $1.6 Million to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) as compensation.
"We incurred costs of around USD 2.2 million on the compensation case which we lost," he said.
The PCB Chairman added that besides the amount paid to India to cover the costs of the case, there were other expenses related to legal fees and travelling.
Last year, PCB had filed a compensation case against the BCCI before the ICC's Dispute Resolution Committee for an amount of around $70 million. The amount was sought after the Pakistan board alleged BCCI of not honouring a MoU signed between the two boards.
As per the MoU, India and Pakistan were supposed to play six bilateral series between 2015 and 2023, which the BCCI failed to honour.
However, the Indian cricket board said they were unable to play against Pakistan as the Indian government did not give them permission.
"The ICC committee did accept that Pakistan had a case and that is why the damages/cost we had to pay to the Indian board was around USD 1.6 million," Mani said.
