Internet Desk: Officials of the Pakistan Cricket board are scheduled to meet the officials of BCCI at Dubai on May 29 to resolve the ongoing conflict between the two boards.

“PCB chairman, Shaharyar Ahmad Khan, Najam Sethi and Chief operating officer Subha Ahmad will be representing Pakistan at the meeting which will be attended by BCCI officials and a member of the interim committee in India” one source said.

A notice demanding a compensation of USD 69.4 million was sent by PCB to BCCI for not houring the MOU signed between the two nations to play six bilateral series between 2015 and 2023.

According to the source the ICC chief executive Dave Richardson will attend the meeting to settle the dispute between the two nations and would try to convince Pakistan not to file a case to the ICC against BCCI.

“The consensus is that before the matter is sent to the disputes resolution committee the two boards should hold talks and try to work out a solution. Two rounds of talks will be held and if they don t succeed then the matter will go to the committee, one source said.

The source said the PCB now also wants the BCCI to play a short ODI series with Pakistan at any neutral venue in return for the tour made by the Pakistan team to India in the winter of 2012/13 when Zaka Ashraf was the PCB chairman. “The BCCI didn t share any revenues from that series which was undertaken by Pakistan as a goodwill gesture. Unfortunately, since then the BCCI has not reciprocated at all,” he added.
