Asia cup 2025: Pakistan has been shocked after 7 wickets lost by India in the Asia Cup 2025. The main reason for this is also that Indian players did not join hands with Pakistani players after the match was over. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), angry with the incident, has demanded the removal of the match referee Andy Paiyoft from the Asia Cup, accusing them of bias. The PCB has threatened that if this is not done, they will boycott the match against Hong Kong on 18 September.
The controversy of not joining the Asia Cup 2025 India-Pakistan match players on Sunday is now increasing. The Pakistan Cricket Council has filed a complaint of match referee in this case. The PCB demands that the referee Andy Picroft be removed from the Asia Cup referee panel. At the same time, Pakistan has also given Gidadbhaki that if the referee is not removed, they will boycott the Asia Cup and will not play the next match against the UAE. PCB chief Mohsin Naqvi wrote on this matter- PCB has filed a complaint with ICC Code of Conduct and MCC Lodge of Spirit of Cricket by Match Referee at ICC. The PCB has demanded immediate removal of the match referee from the Asia Cup. The PCB also alleged that Paiyoft had asked Pakistani captain Salman Ali Aga at the time of the toss not to join hands with his Indian counterpart.
Indian players will not take awards with Pakistanis
Apart from this, the Indian team has taken another important decision. According to the management, if India reaches the final on September 28, it will not receive any award from any Pakistani official. By the way, India has already reached the top 4 of the Asia Cup. And there is no possibility of Pakistan reaching the top 4. Pakistan has also been quite shocked about this matter.
