Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has sought answers to important questions in a letter written to the head of the International Cricket Council (ICC) after India refused to come to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy.

 

The PCB wrote a letter to the ICC on Tuesday after India refused to come to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy.

 

According to Geo, vital  answers have been sought in the letter written by the PCB to the head of the ICC.

 

The PCB has asked the ICC when exactly did the Indian Cricket Board inform them that the Indian cricket team will not be able to participate in the Champions Trophy, which will be held in Pakistan. PCB has also asked whether the Indian Cricket Board has informed the ICC in writing about its refusal. The PCB has also asked the next question: if India has refused in writing to come to Pakistan, then what are the reasons for it. 

 

PCB asked the ICC for a copy of the Indian Cricket Board's written notice so that the reasons on the basis of which the decision was taken can be reviewed.

 

What is your response to the Indian Cricket Board's refusal to send the team asked PCB in the letter, PCB has asked. 

 

After getting answers to all these questions, the Pakistan Cricket Board will take legal advice and guidance from its government so that the next course of action can be formulated.

 

If India really does not send its cricket team to Pakistan and the ICC accepts India's refusal, then Pakistan will not play any match with the Indian cricket team during the Champions Trophy under any circumstances.

 

Earlier, there were reports that PCB is taking a tough stance on the Board of Control for Cricket in India's (BCCI) decision not to send its team to the Champions Trophy in Pakistan: considering a 'minus-India' formula in response.

 

The PCB has decided to use examples from the 1996 and 2003 World Cup in its initial stance to adopt a tough stance against India.

 

However, Indian media reports are claiming that the Champions Trophy will be shifted to South Africa if Pakistan rejects the hybrid model.

 

The decision will be made at the board meeting, where a poll will be necessary for transferring the Champions Trophy from Pakistan.

 

The International Cricket Council (ICC) is awaiting the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) response to an email sent on Friday, and ICC's next course of action will depend on the PCB's reaction, the report said.
