India's cash-rich Cricket board could lose up to $10 million in revenue following the scrapping of this month's tour of Pakistan, domestic media reported on Friday.
"We will know the exact figure after the finance committee meeting, but it should be roughly around $10 million," a Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) official told the Hindustan Times.
The meeting, scheduled for later on Friday, would also discuss the financial impact of November's militant attacks in Mumbai, it said.
The Indian Government refused permission for the cricket team to tour Pakistan due to strained bilateral ties after blaming Pak-based militants based for the Mumbai attacks.
India had been scheduled to play three tests, five one-dayers and a Twenty20 international during that tour. The Pakistan board had said they could lose up to $20 million in revenue.
