23.56 IST   19th Feb 2006

By Agencies

It's raining money for the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), which is likely to earn over Rs 1000 million from the India-Pakistan series concluding with the fifth and the final one-dayer in Karachi today.

Quoting a top marketing official in the PCB, 'The News' reported that the board has already netted in Rs 800 million from the England series.

''The way we are looking at it after taking out all expenses on both series, the board should have easily saved around 1500 to 1600 million rupees which is not bad at all.'' ''Both the series have been very successful in terms of earning revenues. Both were high-profile series and the revenue generated has been up to expectations,'' the source said.

''Our licensed broadcasters have paid us 15 million dollars for the India series and for the England matches another nine million dollars,'' he added.
