What options are open to the PCB after ICC rejected Pakistan’s demand to drop Andy Pycroft as match referee?

[BouncerGuy]

Pakistan’s protest over match referee Andy Pycroft has officially been rejected by the ICC. The controversy began when Pycroft allegedly advised Pakistan captain Salman Ali Agha to skip the customary handshake with India’s Suryakumar Yadav during the September 14 clash. The post-match snub by Indian players only added fuel to the fire.

Despite PCB’s demand for Pycroft’s removal, ICC clarified he was simply relaying ACC instructions—and will continue officiating. With Pakistan now set to face UAE in a must-win game, the board faces a crossroads.

With emotions running high and the next fixture against UAE looming, the PCB has three stark choices. They could refuse to play UAE, making a bold statement but risking instant elimination from the tournament. Alternatively, they might withdraw entirely, escalating the protest but sacrificing their campaign and credibility. Or, they could choose to do nothing—play on, pretend it never happened, and shift focus back to cricket.

With both Pakistan and UAE tied on points, a boycott would hand UAE a direct ticket to the Super 4s. The stakes couldn’t be higher: pride versus progress, protest versus performance.

 

[Rana]

Get on with it.

We want to play cricket.

 

[Ball Blazer]

Go on n meet ind in final. Win and no handshake. *** for tat

 

[Rana]

Finish this tournament now through your participation

There is plenty of other things you can do.

Just pull out of the T20wc hosted by India, also remove the Pakistan women’s team from the upcoming ICC tournament.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Beat them on field.

 

[Rajdeep]

Boycott the tournament as threatened. Else PCB will look weak

 

[Rana]

Go on n meet ind in final. Win and no handshake. *** for tat

Does Naqvi as Chairman of the ACC have the power to call off the entire tournament?

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Boycott

But, they won't, they will aim to win against India in super 4s or the final.

Atleast for once take a stance and make a strong statement.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Pct n pcb runs on the funda , let's win a game or finals against India and we can sell that to our fans for few years. It does not matter if they are boycotting us, we are okay to play in any venue. If bcci/ icc need to be taught a lesson, they should boycott a tourney for real. Everyone will take them seriously if that happens.

 

[Kianig89]

Just bow your head down and play, look before you leap

Yeh just like India “boycotted” a handshake instead of the entire tournament to stand with their military

 

[Devadwal]

As I said earlier PCB wil get face saving from ACC by removing match referee from Pakistan match Only.

If Pakistan have any iota of self-respect they should boycott as earlier said by PCB through Pakistan journalist.

 

[Devadwal]

Beat them on field.

Wo to possible nahi hai. Or koi option hai to batao.

Pakistan has only one destiny that humiliated by India on or off field .

PCB has never expressed any intention to boycott. Nor in the past not now. The stance is clear, we don't want to mix politics with sports. Why should we boycott to make Indians happy?

It is your fans and media who jump up and down for boycott. Your media organisations who threaten Indian players, your sponsors who pull out of sponsorship, and your opposition who is jumping up and down criticising your government.

And you want us to teach a lesson to the ICC

Speak some sense for once.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Yeh just like India “boycotted” a handshake instead of the entire tournament to stand with their military

Pahalgam lives are worth sacrificing a handshake but not sacrificing TV money or two points.

That's the harsh reality.

Unfortunately Indian fans will rather attack Pakistan than pour shame on their government for urinating on the grieving widows of Pahalgam.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Lot of Indian Posters Fall back on Demand of Official Stance by BCCI if they ever get cornered with Media Debates

Criteria same rkha kro

 

[PakPremi]

It was an ill judged ultimatum in first place as you can expect from someone with no tactics for diplomacy, why make such a futile, and unreasonable, demand blaming the refree when the decisions are being made by the Indian government, who through ICC chairman, Jay Shah, are running Cricket too. Pakistan should contine to play Cricket, continue to gain experience of pressure games and the tournamenet situations. As for Indian team well they were happy to shake hands with a politician, who may have some say in the poor relationship with India, but not the players who have no connection what so ever, so their hypocrisy is there for all to see clearly.

 

[PakPremi]

India will not shake hand but play Pakistan to earn from them ( revenue and points)
If losing planes matter so much then do not play Pakistan to earn so little.

 

[light]

Should have never said that we will boycott if XYZ didn't happen. Now you look silly. Doomed if you walk away, doomed if you don't. Because walking away in a way that you got beat black and blue in your last match - and now the posibility for UAE to qualify is there too - you never know with Pak. If you don't walk away, then you don't even respect your own words, who in the world will respect you?

Only PCB can do this to themself. Should have left it on the field, shrug if off and aim to beat india in super 4 but noo let's drag some drama along the way.

 

[BouncerGuy]

PCB might be thinking about abandoning the tournament as well... Could be a possibility..

Indian team refused to shake hands with the team which has players like Faheem. They are not worthy of shaking hands with Indian players.

This was nothing less than shameful for Pakistan player's .

I doubt it as it was PCB who wanted the tournament to be played out of India, and now they had their wish granted they would not want to ruin the tournament for India's egoistic refusal to shake hand.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

PCB has only one option - to shut their mouths and let the team play cricket. Any response can only be made on the field. PCB can't win any battles with India off the field because India exercises a power and influence over cricket that Pakistan does not. The fact that they even thought anything would happen shows how poorly they thought this whole thing through. It was an emotional response driven by being caught off-guard. Instead of doubling down now, learn to let it go and focus on the game of cricket, which is the actual reason your team is there in the first place.

Beating a team who is much lower in skills, how is that humilation?
Not shaking hands , tells more about Indian mentality for holding grudges just because Pakistan downed their 5/6 planes and India could not even touch one of Pakistan's.

It appears so that PCT will withdraw from the tournament until ICC doesn't take any action.

Why will ICC take the decision. Its a ACC tournament and ACC Chairman is Naqvi.

ICC already rejected Pakistan request.

Pakistan only have 24 hour to decide what will they goona do . Time is already running out.

They have continued on with the practice schedule, just cancelled the press conference.

I guess they are going to boycott all ceremonies and press conferences?

 

[Devadwal]

According to reports - PCB is expected to decide its next course of action within a few hours after consultations with the Pakistan government.

Basically PCB chairman ( Naqvi ) will meet Pakistan interior minister ( Naqvi) to takes the decision.

I don’t see a reason why PCB have gone after him with a vengeance if all he did was convey a simple message.

 

[sweep_shot]

They should boycott Indian games until India are planning to be respectful. I think that would be the ideal response.

Cricket is supposed to be a classy gentlemen's sport. The petty behavior India have been showing doesn't belong in cricket.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Boycott the tournament as threatened. Else PCB will look weak

No, I was always in favor of boycott, but not now. Defeat India and then do whatever they want next Or exit fighting....we don't need to run to someone to help us


After all, if my friend Raju can't keep his words, so why should we follow the dead pact now. Defeat or exit fighting. On boycott look to 2026 instead.

[Devadwal]

No one think what will happen if pakistan refused to Play against UAE. No its not about india but the UAE cricket board and goverment.

Pakistan relations with UAE is already not great and recently they denied the host the PSL matches.

Ye fas gye Guru all sides se.

No, I was always in favor of boycott, but not now. Defeat India and then do whatever they want next Or exit fighting....we don't need to run to someone to help us

#HaiHimmat ? Then first defeat the mighty UAE and qualify for super -4 stages .

This Sunday is going to be a blockbuster and we will beat Pakistan even more badly than last Sunday.

 

[AZulfi]

Naqvi created this unnecessary fuss out of hurt pride or ego.

Pakistan cricket must not suffer because of Naqvi’s shenanigans.

Boycotting now would be like shying away from real challenge.

The show must go on. Cricket must continue.

Lol what himmat....Punch India on the face like earlier this year or just bow out fighting....Even in worst scenario what can India do? Surpass 152/0 ?

Now talk about boycott in 2026 not now

 

[Shaka81]

It seems the best way to protest in cricket is to refuse to shake hands, so the Pakistan team should refuse to shake Pycroft's hands or make eye contact with him. To top it off when they beat UAE, they should get one of the players to dedicate the win to all the people who suffered because of Pycroft's actions before and after the game against India. That'll show the world that the PCB mean business just like the BCCI.

 

[Devadwal]

Yes they might win if they play against indian women's cricket team.

I think this is just acceptance of how bad our cricketers are at the moment, and Naqvi is desperate for a win over India in his tenure. He knows this team will get smashed again in a few days time, so creating this unnecessary issue to take the heat off of the players' performances.

It's so blatant and obvious.

As per reports, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has decided to reverse its earlier threat to withdraw from the Asia Cup 2025 following the ICC's refusal to remove match referee Andy Pycroft, who was involved in the "no-handshake" controversy after Pakistan's match against India

The PCB had threatened to boycott their match against the UAE if Pycroft was not removed. However, the ICC cleared Pycroft and denied Pakistan's request.

The PCB's U-turn is mainly due to the risk of heavy sanctions from the ICC and financial difficulties the board is facing after costly stadium renovations during the Champions Trophy. Continuing in the Asia Cup is considered vital for Pakistan's cricket ecosystem. The team will train ahead of their match against UAE, and a loss would result in their elimination from the tournament.

The controversy originated from Pycroft's insistence that team sheets were not exchanged between captains as usual, which was linked to the Indian team not shaking hands with Pakistaners in respect for victims of a terror attack in Pahalgam. The conflict was exacerbated by PCB's Director of Cricket Operations Usman Walha failing to properly inform Pakistan captain Salman about tournament rules. As a result, PCB chief Mohsin Naqvi has sacked Walha for the embarrassment caused. Walha’s failure to communicate the "No Handshake" policy played a significant role in the fiasco

 

[deep82]

Dissapointed with PCB, should have saved the integrity of the nation by pulling out of the Asia Cup. Mohsin Naqvi, The Interior Minister, will not be happy with Mohsin Naqvi, The PCB chief.

 

[cricketjoshila]

Finish this tournament now through your participation

There is plenty of other things you can do.

Just pull out of the T20wc hosted by India, also remove the Pakistan women’s team from the upcoming ICC tournament.

Pull out of th t20wc you guys won’t be playing in India any ways

Is PCB run morons or what?
Why do you even make threats which you can’t keep?

They should have protested with ICC, had ICC refused fine move on, instead before protesting they give threats we will boycott tournament and when ICC refused (which we all knew they would) PCB has to eat their words.

How stupid can a board be, hire someone competent for once.

 

[hur rizvi]

Don't boycott

Use toss and presentation of uae match and rest of the matches if you qualify to convey your message.

 

[mominsaigol]

I think the players are sensible enough to avoid hostility.

Their wont be any hostility from the players in terms of physical abuse. It isn't possible due to the government's on both sides outright preventing it.

Both countries are hostile towards one another but neither are that stupid to advocate for a WWE Match.

Worst I can see another Kamran Akmal vs Ishant Sharma type scenario but thats about it.

Also, we don’t have anyone who goes out of his way to sledge.

There is no personality like Gambhir, Akhtar, Afridi etc in our teams.

Gambhir is there but he is the coach, so won’t be there on the field.

Same goes for the Pakistani team.

Well one thing this whole episode has shown is:-

1. Once again the huge insecurity of Indians;
2. India were embarrassed by Pakistan in the war..

Both indisputable...

Pakistan should 100pct play and Salman should stick his hand out for a handshake after the toss....
Then after the game the team should line up for hand shakes....

People are equating goverment wars and bringing it upon the players themsleves thats why.

I think PP Posters need to make the distinction that cricketers are people and they aren't the ones at war. But both sides are at the mercy of being told what to do by their boards and goverment with the board being a minor representative of the goverment.

The players themsleves are just out their to play, thats all. But the sad thing is the players themsleves are taking the brunt of abuse on social media.

The shameless people behind the scenes are avoiding everything as a result.
