Pakistan Cricket Board faces potential international sanctions after multiple incidents during the Men's T20 Asia Cup prompted complaints from cricket officials. The Board of Control for Cricket in India plans to address the controversies at an International Cricket Council board meeting scheduled for next week. Sources from the Asian Cricket Council and Pakistan Cricket Board confirmed the agenda item to Telecom Asia Sport.
The disputes began when Pakistan objected to match referee Andy Pycroft regarding handshake protocols between captains on September 14, and tensions escalated through threats of tournament withdrawal. The presentation ceremony on Sunday became contentious after Mohsin Naqvi refused to yield trophy duties despite attempts by Asian Cricket Council officials to intervene. Indian players declined to accept the trophy from Naqvi, who serves as the president of the Pakistan Cricket Board and Pakistan's interior minister.
