The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has penned another letter to the International Cricket Council (ICC), reiterating its objections over the appointment of match referee Andy Pycroft in Asia Cup 2025.
According to insiders, the PCB rejected the ICC’s decision not to take action against the referee and formally conveyed its refusal to play any Asia Cup 2025 match supervised by him.
The board maintained its stance of boycotting fixtures under Pycroft’s oversight if its concerns are not addressed.
Sources said the PCB dismissed the ICC’s inquiry into the matter as a mere formality, arguing that neither all aspects were examined nor relevant individuals consulted during the process.
In its second letter, the PCB urged the ICC to remove all reservations through a clear and official announcement.
The PCB further stated that only after its demands are met will Pakistan agree to participate in matches overseen by the referee in question.
