The Press conference of PCB after the boycott saga
Views of Mohsin Naqvi shared in press conference today:
* "There was a crisis going on, you know."
* "I had a lot of objections. Just a little while ago, the first match referee called our team manager. He apologized to the captain and head coach and also said that such an incident did not happen."
* "We still believe that politics and cricket cannot go together. It's a sport, so let it be a sport. Cricket should be a product of all this."
* "The Prime Minister and other government officials were involved in this. There was support, and these two people came specifically to monitor things."
* "Allah has given respect to Pakistan. The community's hopes were met, and I hope that in the future we will focus on cricket over politics. We should be spending our time on cricket, not on this politics."
* "Now she will perform and show it. After that, I will tell the community to support them until the end of the tournament. If they have flaws, we will definitely address and remove them."
* "The PCB's position has always been that there should be no politics in sports. The winner and we should continue to play games in international tournaments."
* "This is a victory in the sense that a critical situation had developed. Emotions were running wild, and I'm glad that an emotional decision was not made in a way that would damage cricket."
Thoughts from Najam Sethi:
* "It was important because I always believe what I heard from Mohsin Sahib. It has also been said that whatever is yours now, you have to talk about the cricket team."
Insights from Ramiz Raja:
* "This cricket team has moved things forward. I want to know this story and how all the frustration and hurt emotions will be expressed on the field, showing everyone what a great cricketing nation we are."
* "The realization has come that cricket is cricket. This should remain a pivotal platform. If you go on like this, there will be no end."
* "This is a very blatant thing because I had this idea many times, but this seems like a very one-sided situation to me. This shouldn't happen because this is a neutral platform, which is why referees and match officials are brought in."
