The Emirates Board CEO: From objecting to the match referee Andy Pycroft over the no handshake controversy, threatening to withdraw from the tournament, and not handing the trophy to the winners, Pakistan faces a possible sanction at the international level for their shenanigans in the just-concluded Men's T20 Asia Cup, according to a news report.

Asian Cricket Council (ACC) and Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) sources told Telecom Asia Sport that the issue is likely to figure prominently during the upcoming ICC Board meeting next week.

“The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) will raise the issue in the ICC Board meeting next week after a series of controversies in which Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) took a confrontational stance, from objecting to the match referee to taking the trophy without handing it to the winners,” sources told www.telecomasia.net.
