Big disclosure in no handshake controversy
In the match that was played between India and Pakistan on 14 September, it became a big issue to not join the players of both teams. The PCB accused the match referee Andy Picroft that he had stopped both teams from doing this, but now the matter has been revealed that you will be shocked to know. According to media reports, the match referee Andy Paiyoft has no mistake on the matter as he followed the orders that were given to him. According to media reports, the Asian Cricket Council ordered Andy Picroft not to join hands at the time of India-Pakistan captain toss.
Mohsin Naqvi himself got trapped
According to the Times of India report, a day after the India-Pakistan match, on 15 September, the PCB e-mail the ICC, alleging that the match referee did not follow the code of conduct at the time of the toss. The ICC immediately investigated the matter and then the PCB was replied to the e-mail that Payakroft did his work well and he had not violated the ethics. It was also told in the e-mail that he was following the instructions received from the ACC regarding not joining hands during the toss. Interestingly, the president of ACC is PCB Chief Mohsin Naqvi himself. Now if the ACC has given this order which directly becomes the responsibility of Mohsin Naqvi here. The report claims that in the e-mail, the ICC praised Picroft and said that he took the matter well and did not allow any uncomfortable situation on television.
PCB again did e-mail
According to the Times of India report, the PCB did not like the ICC’s reply and threatened to withdraw from the Asia Cup. He said that if Paiyoft is not removed from the roster of his matches, he would be withdrawn from the tournament. However, the ICC remained on its point and reiterated that the match referee code of conduct is not blamed and according to the demand of any team, those officials cannot change as it will send the wrong message. However, despite this reply, on 17 September, the PCB made another email and said that during the India-Pakistan match and even then there has been a violation of the code of conduct and he again questioned the role of the match referee. In response, the ICC sought more information from PCB which has not been given to it yet.
Then how did the UAE-Pakistan match happen
Pakistan’s team did not leave for the ground from their hotel on time on 17 September and when the situation started getting out of hand, the match referee Andy Payakroft himself brought a suggestion. He called a meeting with Pakistani captain Salman Aga, manager Naviz Akram Cheema. Coach Mike Hessen was also present in the match referee room of Dubai International Stadium and it is being told that Paycroft interacted on this misconception. There are reports that Paycroft did not apologize. After this meeting, a video is going viral in which there is no sound. PCB is claiming that the match referee has apologized but now this report has exposed Pakistan.
