Pakistan Cricket Board Challenges Court Order to Disclose Financial Records
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has challenged an Islamabad High Court order to disclose confidential financial records, including annual budgets, player contracts, and employee salaries, following directives from the Pakistan Information Commission under the Right of Access to Information Act, 2017. The PCB argues that revealing such information could harm its commercial interests and contractual negotiations, noting it operates without federal funding and competes internationally. The board seeks interim relief, citing potential irreversible damage to privacy and business interests if disclosures proceed.
