Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) President Aminul Islam arrived in Lahore on Sunday to meet Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Mohsin Naqvi, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.
Sources told the 24News TV channel that the BCB president would also attend an emergency meeting of the International Cricket Council (ICC) via a video link, and would later leave for Dhaka today in the evening.
Sources informed that the second emergency meeting of the ICC to discuss the situation, arising out of Pakistan’s refusal to play against India in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, would be held today.
On Saturday, the Pakistan Cricket Board had rejected reports in Indian media claiming it contacted the International Cricket Council (ICC) regarding the Pakistan-India match.
PCB spokesperson Aamer Mir dismissed the reports as unfounded, saying, “The PCB has not contacted the ICC on this matter. Indian media, as always, is spreading baseless news.”
He added cryptically, “A little patience and time will clearly show who actually went knocking and who did not", without elaborating further. The statement comes amid recurring speculation and media coverage surrounding potential Pakistan-India cricket encounters, which have been subject to political and sporting sensitivities.
The PCB has urged fans and the media to rely on official communications for updates regarding international fixtures.
