Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Moshin Naqvi has given orders to his office staff and other colleagues to not issue any statements related to the decision taken by India on sending their team for the ICC Champions Trophy in the early time of next year. According to the information given by PTI, the PCB chief has decided for himself and other officials about not commenting on the issue and simply allowing the ICC to handle this matter.
“That is why in recent days there is no comments or statement coming from either Naqvi or any other board official on what will happen if India doesn’t send its team to Pakistan,” said an insider from PCB.
He said that Naqvi directed all concerned officials to keep on making preparations for the Champions Trophy, assuming that India will be sending their team.
“The PCB has sent the draft schedule and submitted all other documents including security plans for each team to the ICC now it is for the owners of the CT to convince India to send its team,” the insider said.
He also added that Naqvi made it clear for he did not want unwanted controversies anywhere regarding India and Pakistan Cricket issue.
A team from the ICC would be coming to Pakistan to check the venue in September and have a final inspection of the three match venues: Karachi, Lahore and Rawalpindi. The main priority of PCB right now is to ensure renovation on all the three stadiums.
“It is clear Naqvi doesn’t want to show the PCB’s cards on what will be the reaction of the board if India again refuses to send its team but behind closed doors after meetings with the government officials a strategy has been finalised,” another source in Islamabad said.
