ODI World Cup 2023 is being organized in India. So far this tournament has been a super hit. From the upsets to the strong performance of the host team India and the quality of the grounds. Everything has been good for India in this tournament. Pakistan is not able to digest this and according to media reports, PCB has complained to ICC. In this, the issue of visas and treatment of Pakistani players in Ahmedabad has been raised. Zaka Ashraf, chairman of the Cricket Management Committee of the Pakistan Cricket Board, has also returned to Pakistan from India.

 

The Pakistan Cricket Board has reportedly lodged another formal protest with the ICC over the delay in visas for Pakistani journalists and no visa policy for Pakistan fans for the ongoing World Cup 2023. The PCB has also filed a complaint regarding the inappropriate conduct of the Pakistani team during the India vs Pakistan match held on October 14.

 

 

According to a board source, Zaka Ashraf returned to Pakistan on Monday and is holding several meetings with senior board officials to discuss his India tour. Zaka Ashraf himself was present in Ahmedabad for the match against India and witnessed some incidents that left him unhappy. Despite this, Indian cricket officials gave him a warm welcome after his visit.

 

He said the chairman is currently discussing his visit only with his senior colleagues. Pakistan's team director and head coach Mickey Arthur spoke about the crowd's behavior after the loss to India and its impact on his team, and ICC president Greg Barclay responded that the sport's world governing body is working hard to make the World Cup a success. Is trying her best.

 

Zaka was extremely disappointed with the players' performance against India and before returning he told them to forget the Ahmedabad defeat and focus on their remaining matches. Jaka's future as chairman is still in doubt as the four-month term of the Cricket Management Committee he leads ends on November 5 and it seems unlikely the government will extend it. The CMC and JACA were brought in in July to conduct elections and form a proper Board of Governors which would then hold elections for the post of president.
