PCB welcomes ICC Technical Committee decision

Lahore –November 23, 2016: The PCB has welcomed the decision made by ICC’s Technical Committee today awarding 6 points to Pakistan women’s cricket team after the Indian team was deemed to have forfeited each of its matches due to be played against Pakistan in Round-6 of the ICC Women’s Championship.

The PCB had made comprehensive submissions to the ICC setting out its attempts in playing host to the Indian women tour but its efforts remained unsuccessful. The PCB thereafter involved ICC in this matter and finally requested the matter be referred to Technical Committee for decision of award of points.

Chairman PCB Shaharyar Khan said, “The Board accepts the decision of the ICC’s Technical Committee which has vindicated the PCB stance on Pakistan-India cricket series. It is unfortunate that despite our sincere efforts we have not been able to play with India in the ICC Women’s Championship. The ultimate loss of Pakistan-India series is to cricket.”
