during the India vs. Pakistan match in the Cricket World Cup 2023, PCB lodged a formal protest with the ICC over 'inappropriate conduct'
The Pakistan cricket board decided to lodge a formal protest with the International Cricket Council over a number of incidents, including but not limited to the issuance of visas to their journalists and fans. When India's bowling coach, Paras Mhambrey, was asked about the same during a press conference ahead of the Cricket World Cup 2023 match against Bangladesh, he refused to delve into the topic. Mhambrey ducked the question, saying it's not his area of domain.
In the press conference, Mhambrey told the reporters, "Honestly, I am the wrong person to answer that question. Really, I have not even heard what you are saying. That's not something; it's not my domain, so really, I can't answer that.”
On Tuesday, the PCB took to X and wrote: "The PCB has lodged another formal protest with the ICC over delays in visas for Pakistani journalists and the absence of a visa policy for Pakistan fans for the ongoing World Cup 2023."
The tweet further read, "The PCB has also filed a complaint regarding inappropriate conduct targeted at the Pakistan squad during the India vs. Pakistan match held on October 14, 2023.”
