Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is not deterred by its antics. Now it has defended the decision to record the video of the match referee Andy Picroft and some of the officials of some officials. The PCB says that the action was under the ICC rules.
On Thursday, CEO of International Cricket Council Sanjog Gupta wrote a letter to PCB that he violated the field of players and match officials. It also mentioned the video in which the head coach of the Pak team Mike Hessen, Captain Salman Agga and manager Naveed Akram Cheema are sitting and Andy Paiyoft is sitting in front of him.
By making the same video a medium, PCB claimed that Andy Picroft has apologized for the ‘handshake controversy’ in the India-Pakistan match. The ICC has targeted the PCB’s press release, which said that Payakroft has apologized. The ICC says that the match referee Picroft had regretted only the misunderstanding.
According to the news agency PTI, the PCB replied that the ICC violates the rules, as per the current rules, the media manager is allowed to use the camera inside the PMOA, so his presence in the meeting with Andy Picroft was not a violation of any rule.

The report also said that if the ICC finds a violation of this rule, then why the matter was not sent directly to the anti-corruption unit. This is the same Pakistan, who refused to play the match against UAE, regardless of the rules. Then, showing ‘shameless’, the team came down on the field after an hour.
The entire controversy started during the toss in the India-Pakistan match, when Suryakumar Yadav did not join hands with Pakistani captain Salman Aga. At the same time, after the 7 wicket win in the match, the Indian team did not join hands with Pakistani players.
