Pak-Eng tour dates still unclear

ICC in April began an investigation into the registration of companies & website domains by Indian conglomerate Essel

The International Cricket Council (ICC) has still not confirmed the dates for the Pakistan-England series because it awaits the response from host broadcaster, Ten Sports, for its involvement in cricket’s rebel movement.

Last month, the ICC began an investigation into the registration of companies and website domains by Indian conglomerate Essel and although Essel has denied Ten Sports’ involvement, the registration of website domain names, including worldcricketcouncil.co.in, by an employee of the broadcaster Ten Sports raised concerns. While the Pakistan Cricket Board and the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) have agreed on a fixture schedule, there will not be public confirmation of the tour till Ten Sports explains its actions to the ICC investigation committee, led by outgoing ECB chairman Giles Clarke.
