Pakistan Requests ICC Meeting to Remove Andy Pycroft from Asia Cup After UAE Match

Pakistan has made a surprising request to the International Cricket Council (ICC) to hold a meeting for the removal of match referee Andy Pycroft from the 2025 Asia Cup, in reaction to the recent match between Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Despite objections from the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), Pycroft was assigned to officiate the game. The decision to reject PCB’s concerns has sparked controversy and led to Pakistan’s call for this special meeting with the ICC. The Pakistan team expressed dissatisfaction with Pycroft’s performance during the match, prompting this bold move by the PCB.
