"They must taken out their calculators...": Wassan on Pakistan playing Asia Cup after boycott call, urges Men in Green to show "competition" than indulge in controversies
Sep 20, 2025
The India-Pakistan clash on Sunday will be a massive one, as this is the Super Four stage clash where every win against Asia's best teams would count. The first match was a controversial one. The ending of the match saw Indian skipper Suryakumar Yadav and Shivam Dube walk off the field without shaking hands with Pakistani players and the captain dedicating the win to Indian Armed Forces and expressing solidarity with Pahalgam terror attack victims. Pakistan skipper Salman Agha did not attend the post-match presentation, and coach Mike Hesson was sent to face the press. Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) later filed a complaint against Pycroft, alleging him of 'violation of ICC Code of Conduct' and Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) laws related to the spirit of cricket.
