HBL PSL 2020 live-streaming: Rights Holder extends regrets, apology to the PCB

Techfront International FZE today reiterated its regrets to the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and sought an amicable resolution to an outstanding dispute between the parties.

According to details, the Pakistan Super League (PSL) season five was live-streamed on a foreign betting website. When Daily Express highlighted the issue, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) accepted the mistake while putting the blame on their media partners.

In a statement, Techfront International FZE said: “Techfront International FZE acknowledges it was not proactive in obtaining prior permission from the PCB in respect of specific sublicensing and in that process it was not aligned to the spirit and provisions of the Rights Agreement with PCB with regard to HBL PSL V’s live-streaming rights.

“We have extended our regrets and apology to the PCB and look forward to their sympathetic consideration in the matter.”
