DUBAI (Dunya News) – Former chairman of Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Najam Sethi on Monday appeared before dispute panel of International Cricket Council (ICC) as witness and recorded his statement.

As per details garnered, the three-member tribunal headed by Michael Beloff heard the proceedings of the first day.

The BCCI is being represented by Dubai-based law firm Herbert Smith Freehills along with British Lawyer QC Ian Mills.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is demanding 70 million dollars in compensation from India, claiming that a memorandum of understanding signed in 2014 had guaranteed six bilateral series between 2015 and 2023.

However the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) have said they are unable to play against Pakistan until their government gives them permission and dismissed the agreement as not legally binding.

The hearing is set to last until October 3.
