Jai Shah – As you all know, India defeated Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2025 (Asia Cup) Super-4 match, but instead of assuming the result of the match, Pakistan has created a new controversy. In fact, Team Management has filed a formal complaint in the International Cricket Council (ICC).
And this time the TV umpire on target, whose decision forced Pakistan batsman Fakhar Zaman to return to the pavilion. Therefore, the complaint has been sent directly to ICC Chairman Jai Shah (Jai Shah).
Start of dispute
During the match, Fakhar Zaman was caught out by Indian wicketkeeper Sanju Samson during the match. After this, on-field umpire Ghazi Sohail referred the decision to the TV umpire, but the replay did not clearly see whether the catch was clean or the ball hit the ground first. Because from an angle, it felt that the ball touched the ground and went to Samson’s gloves, while the TV umpire termed the ball under the fingers, calling it out.

In such a situation, Fakhar Zaman expressed dissatisfaction after being given out and stood on the field for some time. Later, team manager Naveed Cheema complained directly to the match referee Andy Picroft, but he was told that it was not under his jurisdiction. Therefore, after this, Pakistan officially emailed the ICC and Jai Shah and lodged a complaint.
Pakistan’s resentment
Actually, Pakistan captain Salman Ali Aga said after the match, “I don’t know how well the decision was. The umpires can also make mistakes. But I felt that the ball touched the ground and reached the keeper. If Fakhar had stayed to the powerplay, we might have scored 190 runs.”
In such a situation, the statement clearly shows that Pakistan is blaming the umpiring of defeat and has filed a complaint by emailing Jai Shah. However, even before this, Pakistan had demanded the removal of Picroft after the handshake controversy in the first match.
Complaint reached Jai Shah
At the same time, the current ICC chairman Jai Shah, who has been in this post since December 2024, has now come directly to the center of this dispute. At the same time, Pakistan has said in the complaint that continuous wrong decisions are being given against India and “cheating” is happening with their players.
Moreover, this is not the first time that Pakistan has raised the issue of controversy after the defeat against India. But this time the matter was taken directly to the ICC chairman Jai Shah (Jai Shah), making the issue more serious.
New chapter in India-Pakistan rivalry
Apart from this, India-Pakistan cricket has always been known for high-voltage matches. But as you all know, more controversies than sports in recent times have been in the headlines. From the first handshake dispute to now a catch out controversy, Pakistan has repeatedly defeated the umpiring and match officials.
The challenge in front of Jai Shah (Jai Shah) is now how they solve the matter. Because questioning the fairness of the ICC can not only harm the image of the institution, but can also spoil the India-Pakistan cricket relationship.
