Pakistan faced immense humiliation on Sunday in the Asia Cup, as the Indian players left for the dressing room immediately after finishing with the chase as a silent protest against the terror attacks in the Pahalgam Valley. However, PCB took this as humiliating conduct and immediately launched accusations against the match referee.
As per a report in PTI, ICC has ruled out all such claims and has clearly stated that they have found that Pycroft followed all rules and regulations to the 'T.' ICC has rather praised Andy Pycroft for saving both captains from embarrassment during the game toss. The Apex body also washed its hands of the issue as it pushed it towards the ACC.
ICC 6-point rebuttal sent for PCB (as quoted by PTI)
1) The ICC's investigation was conducted on the basis of the information provided in the report lodged by the PCB. We took the report at Face value and note that no supporting documentation or evidence was provided with it. The PCB had every opportunity to submit a statement from its team members alongside the initial report but chose not to do so.
3) Mr Pycroft was committed to preserving the sanctity of the toss and avoiding any potential embarrassment that might have arisen.
5) It is not the role of the Match Referee to regulate any team or tournament-specific protocols which have been agreed outside of the area of play; that is a matter for the tournament organizers and relevant team managers.
Can Pakistan come through the do-or-die contest against the UAE
UAE won the toss and had opted to bowl first. Their primary goal was to keep the opposition's score under check. The bowlers did a commendable job as they restricted Pakistan to less than 150.
The Pakistan bowlers now have a tough job to do, as they have to defend the target of 147 in front of the UAE batting lineup, who might pose a great challenge with their abilities in such modest chases.
