# PCB challenges transparency order in Islamabad court 2026-08-08T00:01:59+00:00 | Sports | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Pakistan Cricket Board has moved the Islamabad High Court against a Pakistan Information Commission order to disclose its budgets, player contracts, and salary details under the Right of Access to Information Act. The PCB argues it receives no government funding and that disclosure would harm its commercial interests and contractual negotiations. The court has granted a stay until September 22. Separately, the PCB has not yet decided whether to announce its new format-based central contracts for the 2026-27 period. A source told PTI that the board considers the contracts an internal matter. The PCB has not published audited financial statements since 2023, breaking from past practice. ## Coverage - rediff.com - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Tags: financial disclosure, Islamabad High Court, Pakistan cricket, PCB, right to information Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/pcb-challenges-order-to-make-finances-public/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
