On Wednesday, ahead of the match against the UAE, the Pakistan Cricket Board released a muted video showing captain Salman Ali Agha, head coach Mike Hesson, and a PCB official in discussion with match referee Andy Pycroft. The PCB stated that Pycroft offered an apology to the relevant members of the team.
Notably, the match between Pakistan and the UAE was delayed by an hour. Mohsin Naqvi even held last-minute consultations with former board chiefs Ramiz Raja and Najam Sethi on the possibility of boycotting the game. That move could have ended Pakistan’s campaign in the tournament.

“The ICC’s match referee, Andy Pycroft, has apologised to the manager and captain of the Pakistan team. He had earlier barred the handshakes, which sparked controversy. The ICC has now agreed to look into this incident,” the board stated.
In response, the UAE struggled against Pakistan’s bowling attack. Spinner Abrar Ahmed was the pick of the bowlers for Pakistan with figures of 2 for 13, while Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf picked up 2 wickets each. The hosts were restricted to 105 all out in 17.4 overs.
