Overview

• ICC CEO Sanjog Gupta emailed the PCB accusing it of misconduct and multiple PMOA violations on match day.
• Alleged breaches include unauthorised filming of a meeting with referee Andy Pycroft, the presence of media manager Naeem Gillani in a closed PMOA session, and posting video on social media.
• The conciliatory meeting before Pakistan’s game against the UAE was filmed without audio after ICC reluctantly allowed it to prevent disruption.
• Pakistan earlier delayed taking the field for the UAE match and has sent another letter demanding Pycroft’s removal, reiterating it would not play under his supervision.
• ICC sources dispute a PCB claim that Pycroft apologised, saying he expressed regret over a miscommunication, and the incident is now under review for possible disciplinary action.
