Following Pakistan's 76-run defeat against arch-rivals India in their World Cup opener in Adelaide, Pakistan Cricket Board officials reportedly took a day off from office duties on Monday.
PCB chairman Shaharyar Khan, governing board member and chairman of three committees Najam Sethi and Shakil Sheikh, who played major roles in team's World Cup selection, were unavailable in the PCB headquarters at the Gaddafi Stadium, the Dawn reported.
Following the victory, India have extended their unbeaten streak against Pakistan in World Cup to 6-0.
Pakistan will next meet the West Indies on Saturday at Hagley Oval.
