(Getty file photo)KARACHI: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has suffered a revenue loss to the tune of USD 90 million in its last media rights deal because of the freezed bilateral cricket ties with India since 2008. India have played against Pakistan only in ICC tournaments in the last few years due to the diplomatic tension between the two nations. A reliable source said PCB's last five-year deal, which expired this month, included two home series against India. The broadcasters who signed the contract worth 149 million dollars had a condition that the series would be held against India. The PCB also faced financial disagreements with its last broadcaster over the unscheduled home series against West Indies etc. The source said that the PCB has already started exploring the market to get good money for its international home media rights deal either short or long term. Mani had insisted that although the PCB had suffered losses because of absence of series against India but it can live without playing them.
