The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has warned the International Cricket Council (ICC) that it could pull out of the Asia Cup 2025 if its demands are not met. The controversy began when Indian players refused to shake hands with Pakistan after their Group A match in Dubai. PCB alleged match referee Andy Pycroft asked captains not to shake hands at the toss, calling it a breach of the Spirit of Cricket. PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi demanded Pycroft’s removal. Reports say Pakistan may boycott their September 17 match against UAE if the referee is not dropped. (PC: HT)
