Another torsion in the handshake line like ICC accepts little to accept the PCB request | Cricket news
Timesofindia.com in Dubai: The International Cricket Council (ICC) is very likely to reject the request of Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for a change of match referee. The answer to the PCB letter to the Director General of Global Cricket Body, Wasim Khan, is underway and could be sent at any time now.PCB chief Mohsin Naqvi, who is also the president of the Asian Cricket Council (ACC), wanted the immediate withdrawal of match referee Andy Pycroft. PCB had alleged that Pycroft had asked the captains not to shake hands on the draw. The handles did not occur, both in the draw and after the match, and there has not been a lack of drama since then.
It is understood reliably that Pycroft may well follow someone’s instructions in the ACC only, while the work of the ICC ends after having appointed civil servants in consultation with the organization.“What is the ICC to do with this? Their role ends when the officials are named. Anyone of the ACC had a conversation with Pycroft before the game, and what happened during the launch was the result of this cat. It is time for the PCB chief to discover what this cat was, who did and why the source of development of developments.Timesofindia.com contacted the ICC for a comment on development, but there was no response from the World Cricket Organization.It now remains to be seen what PCB then does after ICC’s response because they had threatened to withdraw from the tournament if their request for withdrawal from Pycroft was not satisfied. This will not happen, will the Pakistani cricket team not participate in the rest of the tournament-a tournament organized by a body chaired by the PCB chief?“All this speech and publish on social networks are good for the optics and the story at home, but it makes very little sense. If they had a problem with India that does not shake hands, even it is not compulsory,” adds the source.India and Pakistan should train at the ICC academy on September 16, and although the time slots are different, the two parties will be at the same place for a while together.
