Butt also warned that if Pakistan raised a lot of fuss
about playing in India in 2011, Board of Control for Cricket
in India (BCCI) would rule out any possibility of resuming
bilateral ties with India next year.
The member said the council was told about the long term
television rights deal that the PCB had with the Dubai based
TEN Sports and how important it was for Pakistan to play some
bilateral series with India to get maximum financial benefits
from the contract.
"The contract is worth USD 140.5 million but most of the
money is only payable by the channel if Pakistan and India
play against each other in Pakistan or even at neutral
venues," the member added.
The Indian board officials had said after informal
discussions with Butt last week that there was no possibility
of having concrete talks on resuming bilateral ties between
the two countries at least for the next six months as the
Indian team had a packed schedule. PTI COR
