Andy Pycroft, last Sunday, the Pakistan team following the policy of the Pakistan team did not shake hands as a match referee. The debate appeared to be the captain of India, Surekumar Yadav, put Pycroft in the spotlight and did not follow the handshake agreement in the shooting.
The Pakistani Cricket Board (PCB) sent two E -Post to ICC – first asked Pycroft to be removed from the tournament and then asked the matches to be excluded.
