Following the misconduct in the India vs Pakistan match, the PCB had moved the ICC with an official complaint lodged against the Match referee Andy Pycroft, for having violated the ICC preamble for the spirit of the game.
The ICC has now categorically conveyed to the Pakistan Cricket Board that it cannot remove match referee Andy Pycroft from the Asia Cup's panel of referees. It has been learned that the ICC, during its communication with PCB, has emphasized that there was no wrongdoing on the part of the match referee, as per Cricbuzz.
The ICC has also clearly stated that the appointment of match officials is a centralised ICC decision and it cannot be influenced by considerations of any one member board.
ICC insisted that Pycroft instead helped prevent an embarrassment
It was already pre-decided within the Indian camp that they would only play the game and avoid any such customary handshakes or acts of sportsmanship with the Pakistan team members. However, it was unknown to the Pakistani players.
Pakistan delay the start of the match against the UAE
Pakistan have once again made a mockery of themselves, as they could not stand firm on their resolve to boycott the Asia Cup encounter against the UAE in their final group-stage game. The game is a do-or-die for them to keep their chances alive in the competition.
However, later, Mohsin Naqvi, through the social media handle, informed all of Pakistan of its continuation in the Asia Cup. They pleaded for delaying the game to reach this conclusion within its members.
