Hey, you improve ... Pakistan became embarrassed again before the world, heavy respect before the game against India

Despite the repeated requests of PCB to remove them from the Asia Cup Super 4 match between India and Pakistan, the International Cricket Council (ICC) appointed its referee Andy Pikeroft as the Indo-Pakistan Receight Judge in the Asia Cup Super 4 match on Sunday. A source in the tournament told Pti, “Andy Pycroft is a referee for the India-Pakistan match.” Another shock to Pakistan has not yet been announced for the list of match officials for the Sunday match. Former West Indies captain Richie Richardson is the other match referee of the tournament. Last Sunday, the Indian team did not attach the Pakistani team as part of a policy decision and was a Picroft referee. However, Picroft became the center of controversy when Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav broke the tradition during the throw. The Pakistani team then wrote two email to the International Cricket Council (ICC), and first requested to be removed from the tournament and in the second request to remove them from their team’s matches. The ICC stood firmly with its specific referee panel and rejected both PCB claims. The ICC, which was punished for the Pakistani team, also rejected the PCB allegation that Pycroft violated the game spirit. The ICC said it was only a messenger who further the message appointed by the site manager by the Asian Cricket Board. Picroft could only send the message because there were only a few minutes left to start. The ICC later held a meeting between the Picroft and the Pakistani team management, where the referee regretted the misconception. The ICC then clarified in each other’s email that Picroft had never apologized, but only regretted the misunderstanding. The ICC also accused the PCB of violating the protocols associated with the players and the officials’ sector (PMOA), which denied the PCB. Even after this incident, the appointment of Pycroft for the second match between India and Pakistan is a clear indication that the world body does not want to withdraw from its position, as the former Zimbabwei test man will set a wrong example.
