The Pakistan national cricket team has added motivational speaker Dr. Raheel to their camp to lift the players’ spirits ahead of their important match against India. Notably, the Salman Ali Agha-led team also canceled their pre-match press conference prior to the blockbuster clash, which grabbed attention.
The Men in Green suffered a seven-wicket defeat against the Suryakumar Yadav-led team in the group match in Dubai on September 14. However, the match was overshadowed by the no-handshake controversy. Suryakumar and his teammates avoided shaking hands with the Pakistan players after the match.
In response, Pakistan skipper Salman Ali Agha refused to attend the post-match presentation following their loss to India. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) filed a complaint against match referee Andy Pycroft, alleging that he failed to take action against the Indian side.
The Men in Green also threatened to withdraw from the tournament. Notably, the match between Pakistan and the UAE was delayed by one hour. After a meeting with Pycroft, the PCB agreed to continue in the competition.
The ICC is reportedly considering disciplinary action against Pakistan for recording and sharing the meeting in the Players and Match Officials Area (PMOA), a restricted zone where phones and cameras are prohibited. In response, the PCB defended its actions, stating that they were within ICC protocols.
