LAHORE: Pakistan Cricket Board’s executive committee chairman Najam Sethi on Monday has rubbished all the reports claiming that the International Cricket Council (ICC) has threatened Pakistan with “legal action” if the country did not participate in the World T20 citing “security concerns”.
Najam Sethi state that during a press conference in Lahore.
Sethi: “The ICC has asked us about the status of our participation in the World T20. We have told them that the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has written to the Government of Pakistan seeking approval to travel to India and is awaiting their response in this regard.”
He added that“There is nothing more to that. Neither have the ICC asked us more on the subject, nor have we contacted them for anything.”
Earlier on February 9, PCB supremo Shaharyar Khan said a proposal was given to the ICC to play their World T20 matches on neutral venues in case the Pakistan government does not allow the team to tour India.
