The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announced on Tuesday that they have officially registered a complaint concerning what they describe as “unacceptable behavior” directed towards Pakistan players during their game against India at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
The PCB has also expressed its concerns to the International Cricket Council (ICC) about the visa delays faced by Pakistani journalists and the absence of Pakistani fans in support of the team during this mega event.
The PCB Media wrote, “The governing body wrote on their official social media handle, “PCB has lodged another formal protest with the ICC over delays in visas for Pakistani journalists and the absence of a visa policy for Pakistan fans for the ongoing World Cup 2023. The PCB has also filed a complaint regarding inappropriate conduct targeted at the Pakistan squad during the India vs Pakistan match held on 14 October 2023.”
During the toss of the match, there was a significant outburst of boos directed at captain Babar Azam when he tried to communicate with the broadcaster, Ravi Shastri. The videos surfaced on social media after the match showing Pakistan cricketer Mohammad Rizwan being subjected to chants of ‘Jai Shri Ram’ as he made his way back to the dressing room.
