According to Imran Khawaja’s report, the ICC will inform the PCB about Pakistan’s terms and proposals within a few days.
On the other hand, in the next phase, PCB President Mohsin Naqvi will give information to Prime Minister Shehba Sharif on the issues discussed in the meeting. The president of the Pakistan Cricket Board made it clear in the meeting that the decision should be taken by the government.
It is worth mentioning that Bangladesh had requested to host their T20 World Cup matches in Sri Lanka instead of India due to threats from Hindu extremists and security concerns.
Against this decision, Pakistan, with the support of Bangladesh, registered its violent protest and as a protest, it boycotted the group match against India on February 15.
