Lahore: While expressing its sympathies with the Pakistan Cricket Board over the postponement of the Bangladesh’s tour to Pakistan, the ICC has made it clear that it cannot interfere in any bilateral arrangement between two member nations.
The PCB chairman and chief operating officer discussed the issue with ICC chief executive Haroon Lorgat and other officials during a meeting earlier this week in Dubai.
“The PCB officials apprised Lorgat and ICC officials of the situation and pointed out that it was perhaps for the first time in cricket history that a team had postponed a tour to another country because of a court order,” a well-informed board official said.
“Lorgat was briefed that the PCB’s legal team had gone through the order of the Dhaka High Court restraining the Bangladesh team from touring Pakistan due to security concerns and noted that the petition on the basis of which the court gave the injunction didn’t have enough merit,” he said.
