PCB denies report on withdrawing TA/DA for match officials

The Pakistan Cricket Board pushed back against a report saying it had cut hotel accommodation and TA/DA for match officials in the President’s Trophy Grade-II. The board called the report misleading and said no policy change had been made.

TA/DA only goes to officials who travel outside their home city. Most umpires for matches in Lahore and nearby venues are already based there, so they don’t qualify. That rule holds across all domestic formats.

The tournament starts on September 19.
