The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has formally expressed concerns to the International Cricket Council (ICC) regarding the exclusion of its representatives from the post-match ceremony of the ICC Champions Trophy final. Despite the presence of PCB officials at the venue, protocol dictated that only the heads of cricket boards were allowed on stage, leading to Pakistan’s unintentional absence during the ceremony.
In response to the PCB’s concerns, the ICC issued a statement clarifying the ceremony’s protocol and addressing the situation.
The PCB is currently awaiting a detailed response from the ICC to address these concerns and ensure that such situations are avoided in future events.
This incident has sparked discussions within the cricketing community, with former players and officials weighing in on the matter. The PCB’s proactive approach in seeking clarification underscores its commitment to ensuring fair representation and adherence to established protocols in international cricket events.
