ICC could fine PCB if Pakistan pulls out of WT20: Khan

February 18, 2016 01:07

Pakistan Cricket Board Chairman Shahryar Khan has admitted that if the national team was unable to participate in next month's World Twenty20 in India, the body could be fined by the ICC.

Khan told the media in Lahore that in case Pakistan pulls out of the World Cup, the PCB would have to pay a penalty to the world governing body of the sport, the International Cricket Council.

"I just spoke to the Prime Minister's secretariat today and until the government has not given clearance to send the team to India for the World T20," Khan said.

"All these stories about the ICC threatening us with legal action or the Prime Minister having cleared the tour are not correct.

"We have sought advice and clearance from the government to send our team to the World event. The Prime Minister's secretariat has said they are reviewing the situation and will let us know soon," he added.
