New Delhi: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has filed a claim for damages against India-based IMG Reliance for pulling out of a deal to provide television coverage to the Pakistan Super League (PSL) earlier this year.

According to a report in the Dawn, the claim will be heard at the London Court of Arbitration. It is further reported that the PCB had sent IMG Reliance a notice to provide compensation for the damages incurred due to the pull out on October 21.
