    Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Shaharyar Khan on Thursday said that PCB will pursue legal action against the Board of Control of Cricket in India (BCCI) for refusing to play a scheduled bilateral series between the two countries.

    While addressing a press conference in Lahore, Khan recalled that India had refused to play a series in Pakistan in 2014, which cost the PCB around a million dollars.

    "Our case is solid. We will go to court," the PCB chairman added.

    "First we will send a legal notice to Indian cricket board. Then we will dispute the case in the International Cricket Council," he added.

    Cricketing ties between India and Pakistan are currently stalled, given the political tensions between the two countries.

    The men's teams have not played a bilateral series against each other since December-January 2012-13, when Pakistan visited India, but have met in various multi-team tournaments since then, including the World Cup, World T20, Champions Trophy and Asia Cup.
