Ravichandran ashwin big statement on ind vs pak: Former Indian cricket team player Ravichandran Ashwin often keeps his point on every aspect with impunity. Ashwin has laughed the Pakistani team a lot about the first match played between India and Pakistan. Ashwin believes that Pakistan dragged the match referee Andy Picroft in the case without any reason and asked him to apologize. Ashwin said in Ash’s talk on his YouTube channel that ‘If I had been in place of Andy Picroft, he would have apologized to me. What would I apologize to for?

Ashwin lashed Pakistan a lot

India did not join hands with Pakistani players after defeating Pakistan in the Asia Cup league stage match. The Pakistan Cricket Board had complained about this to the Asian Cricket Council and told its responsible match to the referee Andy Picroft. On this, Ashwin said that ‘he is not many school teachers nor is there any principal. He cannot say to Surya that come and join hands, this is not their job. What is the mistake of Picroft in this’.

Ashwin further said that in the true sense, Picroft saved people from watching poor spectacles. India had already said before the match referee that this is our decision and we will follow this. Even after doing so much spectacle, those people lose the match, so what are you complaining about.

India vs Pakistan

India and Pakistan are going to compete once again on September 21 in Super-4. This match will be played at Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Like the first match in this match too, Team India can keep distance from Pakistani players.

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.

On Wednesday, Rameez Raja gave a controversial statement, describing the match referee Andy Poycroft as a permanent fixer of India. He said that Poycroft is present in every match in India. He also commented on Suryakumar Yadav in his statement, claiming falsely. This statement came when the Pakistan Cricket Board claimed that the match referee had apologized. Actually, Pakistan is believing in the conviction of insulting by Indian players not joining hands.

The Pakistan Cricket Board wanted the match referee Andy Poycroft to be removed from the Asia Cup. The ICC had rejected this demand, after which the PCB proposed that at least there were referees in their matches, but this demand was not accepted and Pakistan vs. UAE was the referee poycroft in the UAE match. Hiding the dishonor many times, the Pakistan Board claimed that the referee had apologized to him. Meanwhile, speaking in front of the press outside the PCB headquarters, Rameez Raja described Poycroft as a fixer of India.

What did Rameez Raja say?

Rameez Raja said, “It’s fun. There is a neutral platform, so matches are referees but I think they are applied for them every time (poycrooft). “

When Rameez Raja was speaking this, PCB Chief and ACC chief Mohsin Naqvi were constantly laughing. Rameez did not stop here, he also dragged Suryakumar Yadav’s name in his statement.

Rameez Raja further said, “This is our victory, it was a delicate situation. I was very much happy that we did not take any decision in sentimentality. If we boycotted, our cricket would have been damaged. My biggest objection was on the after -match presentation (by Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav).

Rameez king’s false claim

It is not surprising that a big official of Pakistan is spewing poison against India by telling false figures, the Rameez king did the same. Let us know that Andy Poycroft was referee in 124 matches in India, but for Pakistan he was also referee in 103 matches. He played the referee in 107 matches in England.

Uae vs pak match controversy: The match was played between India and Pakistan on 14 September in the Asia Cup. Even before this match, there was a lot of uproar across the country, but with the end of the match, Pakistan got a shock. After the India-Pakistan match, the players of Team India refused to join hands with Pakistani players, but now the matter has increased that the Pakistan team threatened to go out of the Asia Cup, but the Pakistan Cricket Board got caught in the trap made by itself and got it insulted.

How did the controversy start?

During the toss of India and Pakistan, Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav did not join hands with Pakistani captain Salman Ali Aga. After this, even after the match was over, the Indian team did not get on the field to join hands with Pakistani players and went to the dressing room and closed the door. After this, Suryakumar Yadav said that the feelings of the country for us are ahead of the game of spirit.

In the match played with India, the Pakistani team filed a complaint against ICC against the match referee Andy Picroft. This referee was also to participate in the match of Pakistan and UAE on 17 September today. Regarding this, the Pakistan Cricket Board said that if Andy Picroft was not removed from the post of referee, then Pakistan’s team will not play matches against UAE.

There was a ruckus one hour before the match between Pakistan and UAE. The PCB first forbade the Pakistani players to reach the stadium and the news came out that Pakistan could boycott from the Asia Cup. Then there was a meeting between the ICC and the PCB, in which the referee Andy Picroft was described as innocent and kept them referee.

ICC pronounced the decision

The ICC has clearly stated in its decision that Andy Picroft has not violated any match protocol. After this, PCB overturned the whole story. The ICC’s decision neither came in favor of the Pakistan Cricket Board nor agreed to play the Pakistani team. Pakistan refused for the first match and then agreed to play. But in all this ruckus, the time of the match progressed one hour.

Pakistan team will not play matches with UAE in the Asia Cup. According to a Pakistani media channel, PCB has refused its team to go to the stadium. If Pakistan does the Asia Cup to the Asia Cup, then the Super-4 stage is also sure to be affected. Now the question is that if the Pak team is out of the Asia Cup, then which team will benefit the most.

This team will benefit

First of all, look at the Asia Cup points table. Talking about Group A, India, Pakistan, UAE and Oman were kept in it. The Indian team has already qualified for Super-4, while Oman has been out of the tournament. Pakistan is currently second in Group A, while UAE is in third place and both have two points each.

If Pakistan boycott the Asia Cup, it will be excluded from the tournament. In such a situation, the UAE team will qualify for Super-4. If this happens, this will be the first time that the UAE team will go beyond the group stage. This match is very important for both teams from the point of view of Super-4. The winning team in this match will qualify for Super-4.

Will India affect?

If there is talk of qualifying for the Super-4 stage, then there will be no effect on the Indian team, because it has already qualified. But the path of the final of the Indian team in Super-4 can be easier. Pakistan team could not challenge India much in the group stage. But if Pakistan does not go to Super-4, the UAE will qualify, which India defeated in just 27 balls in a group match.

Asia cup 2025: The Handshek controversy, which stood up after the India-Pakistan match in the Asia Cup 2025, has now reached a new turn. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) had talked to the International Cricket Council (ICC) to remove the referee Andy Payakroft from the Asia Cup. Paiyoft was the referee of the India-Pakistan match held on September 14, and Pakistan alleged that they worked in favor of Team India. Although the ICC did not remove him from the tournament, it was decided that Paycroft would not play the role of referee in Pakistan -related matches.

Richie Richardson gets responsibility

According to a reports quoted by PTI to the source, the match between Pakistan and UAE on September 17 will be former West Indies veteran Richie Richardson referee. He has already held the responsibility of match referee in many big tournaments. According to PCB sources, this is a “compromise”, so that the displeasure of both sides can be averted.

Who is Richie Richardson?

Andy Paiyoft’s career did not have special achievements as a player, while Richardson has been a big name for the West Indies. He played 86 Tests and 224 ODIs, including more than 12,000 runs. He has 21 international centuries in his name. Richardson, who made his debut in 1983, represented the West Indies team till 1996. After retirement, he stepped into the umpiring and referee panel. So far, he has played the role of referee in 58 Tests, 108 ODIs and 117 T20 Internationals.

Challenge increased for Pakistan

Even though Pakistan has managed to get Paiyoft away from its matches, cricket experts believe that this decision may be reverse for them. Richie Richardson’s name is very honored in the cricket world and it would be almost impossible to pressurize him. In such a situation, opposition to Pakistan can go against them.

Experts believe that PCB should avoid repeated disputes, otherwise their image will have a negative effect. If there is a demand to change the referee in every match, it can harm Pakistan’s credibility.

Next match is important

Now everyone’s eyes will be on the Pakistan vs UAE match to be held on September 17 at Dubai International Cricket Stadium. This match is like a do or die for Pakistan, because in the event of losing, it will be very difficult for his way to reach Super-4.

From this match, Richie Richardson has been appointed by removing the match referee Andy Paiyoft. On Tuesday itself, the ICC rejected the PCB’s demand, demanding that Paycroft be removed from the Asia Cup.

Although the match referee will remain referee in other matches of Andy Picroft tournament, he will not be referees only in the match against Pakistan. Earlier, after the handshake controversy against India, the PCB demanded that the Picroft be removed but the ICC had rejected the demand. Aaj Tak quoted sources as saying that PCB President Mohsin Naqvi met Pakistan Prime Minister Shabaz Sharif and decided that Richie Richardson will be the match referee in Pakistan’s matches.

Except Pakistan’s matches, other matches of the Asia Cup will have Andy Picroft Match referee. If Pakistan wins against UAE today, then its first match in Super-4 will be with India.

Who is the match referee Richie Richardson?

Richie Richardson has captained for the West Indies. 63 -year -old Richardson made international debut in ODIs and Tests by playing against India. In his 13 -year cricket career, he played 86 Tests and 224 ODIs, scoring 5949 and 6248 runs respectively. He has 16 centuries in Tests and 5 centuries in ODIs.

Why is Pakistan teased with Andy Pyft?

Pakistan match is assuming the referry piCraft, convicted of the handshake controversy against India. PCB is claiming that he had advised both the captains not to join hands. Even after the match, Suryakumar went to the pavilion without joining hands with Shivam Dubey and then no one came to the ground from the camp.

Do or die for Pakistan and UAE today
