Pakistan's 25-match broadcasting rights worth ₹55 crore less than India's single match

The Pakistan Cricket Board faced a major setback when PTV Sports secured home broadcasting rights for twenty-five upcoming matches at a steep discount, following the national side's silver medal finish at the Asian Games in Japan. The network acquired the package for 350 million Pakistani rupees, falling well short of the expected reserve price as the squad's recent struggles impacted bidding interest.

This agreement underscored a stark disparity when compared to neighboring India, whose bilateral television rights average nearly sixty-eight crore rupees per fixture. Consequently, a single fixture played under the Board of Control for Cricket in India exceeds the entire twenty-five match domestic broadcast package finalized by Pakistan's governing body.
