Pakistan Cricket Board: Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Mohsin Naqvi has demanded an immediate removal of match referee Andy Pycroft from the Asia Cup roster following India's refusal to shake hands with Pakistani players following their match in Dubai on Sunday.

In addition to the statement released by the PCB, Naqvi's, who himself heads the continental cricket body, request to remove the match referee from the tournament comes as a surprise because the previous commune from the board doesn't contain this request.

Taking to X, Naqvi wrote, "The PCB has lodged a complaint with the ICC regarding violations by the Match Referee of the ICC Code of Conduct and the MCC Laws pertaining to the Spirit of Cricket. The PCB has demanded an immediate removal of the Match Referee from the Asia Cup."
