DUBAI: Former external affairs minister Salman Khurshid Tuesday justified India’s refusal to play bilateral cricket with Pakistan during the ICC’s Disputes Resolution Committee hearing into a compensation claim against the BCCI, a Board official said.
The hearing, which began Monday, will decide whether BCCI is to pay the Rs 447 crore damages sought by the PCB for not honouring a so-called Memorandum of Understanding to play six bilateral series between 2015 and 2023. The BCCI has maintained that the MOU is not legally binding. “Khurshid’s presence definitely took the PCB by surprise. They were not expecting a former MEA to come in for cross-examination.
Also a legal expert. He gave UPA II’s stand on why India didn’t tour Pakistan post the Mumbai terror attacks in 2008,” the BCCI official told PTI, quoting from Khurshid’s statement in the court, on condition of anonymity. Khurshid was presented by the BCCI as one of its prime defence witnesses on Tuesday. (PTI)
