PCB CEO blames ICC for mismanagement of CT final presentation ceremony

The Pakistan Cricket Board's chief operating officer has blamed the ICC for the mismanagement at the final presentation ceremony of the Champions Trophy in Dubai. No Pakistan representative was called on the podium for the final ceremony in Dubai during final presentation ceremony despite the PCB CEO, Sumair Ahmed being present at the ground. Sumair said at a function in Lahore that it was the result of mismanagement on part of the ICC. It was a result of mismanagement on part of the ICC and everyone knows who's involved in it. We did not take the matter in a positive way," he said. Sumair said he went to Dubai for the final on the directions of PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi. He confirmed that the ICC had not responded to the PCB's demand for an explanation for the mismanagement.

Bonus point system to be pondered by over by ICC for WTC 2025-27 cycle

The International Cricket Council (ICC) is likely to ponder over a new bonus points system during its board meeting in April which could give more weightage to bigger victories, especially overseas, during the next World Test Championship cycle. The 2025-27 WTC cycle will begin with India's five-match away Test series against England in June. As per the prevailing rules, the team winning by the smallest margin or by an innings gets 12 points, six points for a tie and four points for a draw. But this could see a change as the global governing body, as per a report in Telegraph, is considering awarding bonus points for innings victories or for a win above a certain big margin such as 100 runs. "In fact, issues such as giving bonus points for innings wins etc has been in continuous discussion from the beginning of the WTC, as many teams felt that due weight is not getting for wins against big teams," a source close to the development told PTI. "So, such topics have been a part of ...

Australia spinner Matthew Kuhnemann's bowling action cleared by ICC

Australia's left-arm spinner Matthew Kuhnemann, who was reported for an illegal bowling action during the second Test against Sri Lanka last month, has been cleared by the ICC after undergoing extensive testing in Brisbane. The development means Kuhnemann will be able to resume playing for Australia in the Test tour of the Caribbean scheduled later this year. "Kuhnemann's action has now been deemed to be legal and the left-arm spinner will continue to bowl in international cricket," the ICC said in a statement. The 28-year-old Kuhnemann had undergone an independent bowling assessment at the National Cricket Centre in Brisbane, where it was revealed that the amount of elbow extension for all his deliveries was within the 15-degree level of tolerance permitted under the ICC Illegal Bowling Regulations, the apex body said. Despite being called for his action, Kuhnemann played a pivotal role in Australia's 2-0 series victory in Sri Lanka, bagging 16 wickets at an average of 17.18. Cri

IND vs PAK: PCB asks ICC for explanation over India's national anthem row

Left red-faced after India's national anthem played for a fraction of a second at the start of the Australia-England Champions Trophy match here on Saturday, the Pakistan Cricket Board has blamed the ICC for the fiasco and demanded an explanation from the world body. At the start of the game when the two teams lined up for their national anthems, the spectators were left surprised as the Indian national anthem played for a second before being stopped. A source close to the ICC confirmed that the PCB had sent a letter to the governing body outlining the incident and demanding an explanation. "The PCB has made it clear that the ICC needs to offer some explanation as their people are responsible for the (national anthem) playlist of teams in the Champions Trophy. "Since India is not playing in Pakistan, it is hard to understand how their anthem was played by mistake from the playlist," the source said. India had refused to travel to Pakistan citing security concerns and are playing t
