The Board Of Control For Cricket In India (BCCI) has requested the Union government to formally convey its position with regards to India-Pakistan bilateral cricket series, which is on hold since 2012 due to political tension between the two neighbours. The BCCI has repeatedly clarified its stance that it won’t be able to engage in bilateral contests unless the government gives clearance. When asked about the latest e-mail, a senior BCCI official told PTI: “These are routine communications on part of BCCI. “The International Cricket Council today confirmed that the Hon Michael Beloff QC will chair the Dispute Panel in the matter of proceedings between the Pakistan Cricket Board and the Board of Control for Cricket in India,” ICC had then said in a release. The world governing body for the game also made it clear that decision of the Dispute Panel shall be non-appealable.
