LAHORE, Aug 13: Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has appointed Fakharuddin G Ibrahim as its lawyer in the suit filed by Karachi City Cricket Association (KCCA) against it in the Sindh High Court, a PCB spokesman announced on Wednesday.

KCCA filed the petition before Sindh High Court Justice Ata-ur-Rehman challenging the formation of the Sindh Cricket Association and alleging that the board had attempted to get the KCCA office located at the NCS vacated.

Meanwhile, a PCB spokesman said there was no danger of next week’s first Test against Bangladesh being affected by the legal tussle.

“Whatever happens in the court, it would not affect the organisation of the first Test from Aug 20 in Karachi,” the spokesman said. “Even if the provincial body is not allowed by the court to organise the match, than the board will do it directly as it has the sole and exclusive rights to stage all international matches in Pakistan.”
