Pakistan government halts PCB's media rights sale

Pakistan's caretaker government has intervened in the affairs of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), preventing the sale of media rights for international matches and the Pakistan Super League. This directive has led to the head of the Cricket Management Committee (CMC), Zaka Ashraf, postponing his visit to Australia and seeking a meeting with caretaker Prime Minister Anwar ul Haq Kakaar. The Ministry of Inter Provincial Coordination mandates the CMC/PCB to seek government permission before finalizing major deals.
