Why did Pakistan initially refuse to play their Asia Cup match against the UAE on September 17, 2025?
They demanded the removal of match referee Andy PycroftPakistan refused to leave their hotel for the crucial Asia Cup match against the UAE due to their demand for match referee Andy Pycroft’s removal, which the ICC rejected. The PCB held Pycroft responsible for a diplomatic incident during the India-Pakistan toss where captains avoided handshakes and team sheet exchanges. The ICC dismissed the complaint, stating no evidence was provided and that Pycroft followed all protocols correctly. After prolonged negotiations, Pakistan agreed to play, but the match started an hour later than scheduled. The standoff highlighted tensions within the cricketing community ahead of major tournaments.
