The Int'l Cricket Council created a "dispute resolution panel" to hear Pakistan's compensation claim against India for refusing to play a bilateral series. Sporting ties between the South Asian neighbors "have suffered in recent years amid rising political tensions," and Pakistani cricket authorities say that their Indian counterparts have violated a '14 memorandum of understanding under which the two were to play six bilateral series between '15 and '23. The Pakistan Cricket Board is seeking $70M in compensation. The three-member panel will hear the claim later this year (AFP, 4/11).
