Another blow to Pakistan before the ODI World Cup, after BCCI, now ICC also showed the mirror

IND vs PAK: There is an atmosphere of turmoil in the Pakistan Cricket Board at this time. Till now, Najam Sethi, who is holding the charge of PCB Chief, will no longer continue in this post, while Zaka Ashraf's name is doing the rounds as his replacement. The coming three to four months are going to be very special in the world of cricket. The Asia Cup will start from late August and run till September, while the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 will be held immediately after that from October to November. When the ICC sent the ODI World Cup schedule to all the cricket boards, the PCB objected to it. But now there is news that no PCB hearing has taken place. Due to this, the ICC has also done the work of showing him a mirror.
