ICC had previously communicated to PCB, stating that BCCI had informed them verbally about refusal.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has decided to write a letter to the International Cricket Council (ICC) regarding India’s non-participation in the ICC Champions Trophy.
According to sources, PCB officials have completed legal consultations under the guidance of the government. The federal government has provided the PCB with policy guidelines regarding India, which will be used to seek clarification from the ICC about India’s refusal to participate.
The ICC had previously communicated via email to the PCB, stating that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had informed them verbally about the refusal.
According to government sources, the Pakistan-India clash cannot take place without Pakistan, as both countries hold equal significance in the context of the match.
Government officials have instructed the PCB to involve other boards in this matter, emphasizing that Pakistan has always maintained a positive attitude and conduct. Now, according to the government, India has no moral or legal grounds to avoid playing against Pakistan.
