Pak Cricket Board gets ₹27 lakh bill for Biryani consumed by security deployed to protect NZ Team

After the New Zealand Cricket team left Pakistan at the 11th minute of the tour, the embattled, cash strapped and beleaguered Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has now been handed over a food bill for Rupees 27 lakhs for the Biryani consumed by the security personal deployed to protect the New Zealand team from Islamic terrorists.

Sheikh Rashid Ahmed who is the Federal Minister for Interior and has a habit of making outlandish statements in an interview said Pakistan had deployed more security forces to protect the New Zealand team which is much larger than the New Zealand armed forces.

Now it is clear that the large security detail has slapped the PCB with an approximate cost of ₹27 lakhs just to pay off the food bills of the officers who were in charge of the security of the touring team.

According to several reports, there were five SPs and over 500 SSPs (police officers) that were provided for the security of the Kiwis along with the Pakistan Army in Islamabad and Rawalpindi and these security personal were served Biriyani twice a day.

The PCB should also perhaps be grateful to the English cricket board for cancelling the tour because it is most likely that the board would again be presented with a bill worth lakhs of ruppes to pay for biryani for the security personals.
