The on-going 'Spirit of Cricket' series between Pakistan and Australia in England, is proving to be profitable for the Pakistan Cricket Board. PCB is expected to make a profit of around USD 3 million from this series against Australia, which is sponsored by Marylebone Cricket Club.

"We were a bit apprehensive when it was first decided to stage the series in England but now our profit estimates are higher then our financial experts had forecast," a PCB official said.
