The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) spokesperson said on Saturday that he “categorically” rejects the claim that the PCB approached the International Council of Cricket after it decided not to play against India at the T20 World Cup.
PCB Spokesperson Amir Mir named Indian sports journalist Vikrant Gupta, saying, “I categorically reject the claim by Indian sports journalist Vikrant Gupta that PCB approached the ICC.”
In a strong statement the spokesperson said, “As usual, sections of Indian media are busy circulating fiction. A little patience and time will clearly show who actually went knocking and who didn't.”
