Live updates on Asia Cup boycott debate: Potential Pakistani withdrawal from UAE match?
The Asia Cup continues to be shrouded in controversy, with Pakistan considering a potential boycott of their fixture against the United Arab Emirates (UAE) today. The decision regarding Pakistan's participation in the poki game is yet to be officially announced.
The controversy stems from the handshake incident during the India vs Pakistan match, which led to the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) lodging a complaint with the International Cricket Council (ICC) against match referee Andy Pycroft. The PCB demanded Pycroft's removal, alleging that he failed to act during the incident. However, the ICC reportedly rejected the PCB's request.
Despite the controversy, Pycroft remains the match referee for the Pakistan vs UAE crazy games. The outcome of this game could significantly impact the Asia Cup standings, as it is Pakistan's last league game in Group A.
If Pakistan decides to boycott the game, their Asia Cup campaign would end. This decision, if implemented, would mark a turnaround, as Pakistan had initially threatened to boycott the match but later reversed their decision after discussions involving PCB chief Mohsin Naqvi and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.
As of the latest updates, Pakistan is scheduled to play the UAE today. The Asia Cup boycott controversy continues to be a topic of discussion, with the ICC yet to make any statement regarding the potential free games.
Regardless of the outcome, the Asia Cup is set for an exciting climax, with teams vying for top spots and the chance to progress to the next stage of the tournament.
