Sunil Gavascar explodes Pakistan for no press-conference attitude in Asia Cup; Indian legend indicates that "a point may be ..."
The legendary Sunil Gavascar blew the Pakistan on the men in Green’s no press conference in the continued Asia Cup 2025. After skipping the press conference before the match before their UAE match a few days before, Pakistan did the same on Saturday on the eve of their Super 4 collision against India in Dubai. However, Pakistan has their three-hour training session as scheduled. Pakistan has been in the news for the wrong reasons since their group A collision against India when Suryakumar Yadav’s men skipped the usual handshake at the end of the match. Pakistan wrote to the International Cricket Council (ICC) and demanded that referee Andy Pycroft be removed, only to see that it was rejected twice. They also came up with a false narrative of Pycroft who apologized to Pakistan with a subdued video about the controversy of the handshake and threatened to withdraw from the tournament. In response to the drama of Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2025, Gavascar suggested that a penalty kick could bring Pakistan into his sentence. “I don’t know what the thinking is behind it, but as far as I know, press conferences are mandatory,” Gavascar told India Today. ‘If teams don’t hold them, I’m not sure what the penalties are non-but in today’s world, it’s important that the media be involved and kept informed. It is still essential to maintain open communication with the media, ‘Gavascar added, commenting in the Asia Cup 2025. The former Indian captain also said that the Government Committee of the Asian Cricket Board (ACC) also wants to understand that it is going. “If there is something in the rule book that says that attendance of press conferences is mandatory, then a point of their table can be pulled off if a team does not meet it. It can be a viable way,” Gavascar suggests. PCB head Mohsin Naqvi says ‘we will talk soon’ Meanwhile, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and ACC chief Mohsin Naqvi were on Saturday during Pakistan’s training session at the ICCAdemy in Dubai. Before the Pakistan’s Super 4 collision against India, NAQVI was seen in conversation with Pakistani players and head coach Mike Hesson. When asked why Pakistan holds no press conferences, Naqvi told Revsportz: “We’ll talk soon.”
