Pakistan blocking IPL progress..!? Big plan against BCCI..?

The pakistan cricket Board (PCB) has moved against the BCCI's plan for the IPL series. Through this auction, the bcci has earned Rs 48,390 crore from IPL broadcasting rights alone for the next 5 years. The offers made by the bcci are also responsible for the fact that the amount for the next 5 years is so much higher than the last 5 years. That means the number of IPL matches has increased to 74 in the current season. It said the number would be raised to 94 matches in the next 5 years. Thus investors are bidding in the hope of getting higher returns.
Due to the high number of matches, the days of the IPL series must be extended. Speaking on the occasion, bcci Secretary jai Shah said the duration of the IPL series would be extended to two and a half months. He said talks were underway with other national cricket boards.
The pakistan cricket Board (PCB) has moved against this. That means all the leading players who are getting mixed up internationally will be out of the IPL series for two and a half months. Not only this but there are other country series as well. In that case, the international cricket series between the two countries will be affected and its data-size will be reduced.
The ICC Council will meet in July. The IPL will be decided at this meeting.
The pakistan cricket Board (PCB) has appealed to other cricket boards to oppose the two-and-a-half-month extension of the IPL series.
