PCB Sends Second Letter to ICC, Threatens Boycott Over Referee Andy Pycroft The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has sent a second letter to the International Cricket Council (ICC) after their first request to replace match referee Andy Pycroft was turned down, sources told Cricket Pakistan. Pakistan will play their last group match against the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on Wednesday at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.

The PCB is taking a strong stand and has rejected the ICC’s decision not to take action against Pycroft. Sources said Pakistan will not play any match under him and will keep boycotting if he is not removed. The board feels that the ICC’s inquiry was just a formality. They believe the ICC did not properly look into the incident or talk to the right people.

Final Decision on Pakistan’s Participation Awaited

The PCB said all their concerns must be cleared before the team plays. They added that once their demand is officially accepted, Pakistan will take the field. Sources also said the ICC is finding it harder to handle the situation and an official announcement is expected soon.

The PCB said Pycroft is responsible for mishandling the no-handshake controversy during the India-Pakistan match and is firm on getting him removed. The board also confirmed that talks are still ongoing, and a final decision on Pakistan’s participation will be announced soon. If their request is turned down, Pakistan might pull out of the tournament completely.

Meanwhile, Team India has already made it to the Super Four stage after winning two matches. UAE’s recent win over Oman ended Oman’s chances, confirming India’s spot. The second team to qualify from Group A will be decided on Wednesday, when Pakistan plays UAE at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Pakistan has the edge right now because of a better net run rate.
