PCB Demands ICC Action Against India Captain Suryakumar Yadav for Political Statement

DUBAI, September 17, 2025 – The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has formally urged the International Cricket Council (ICC) to take disciplinary action against India’s captain Suryakumar Yadav for making a political remark during an international event.

PCB’s Demands at ICC Meeting

During the ongoing ICC meeting in Dubai, the PCB presented two key demands:

1. Removal of Andy Pycroft from officiating in the Asia Cup.

2. Penalty against Suryakumar Yadav for what the PCB claims was a politically charged statement, which goes against the ICC’s code of conduct.

Officials said such remarks could damage the spirit of cricket and set a dangerous precedent if left unchecked.

Pakistan Team Awaits PCB Decision

At the time of the meeting, members of the Pakistan national cricket team were seen waiting in the hotel lobby with their luggage already loaded onto the team bus.

The players are awaiting a green signal from the PCB regarding their next steps.

PCB Press Conference Expected

The PCB is set to hold a press conference shortly, where further details and possible actions will be shared with the media.

The matter has raised tensions ahead of the Asia Cup, with cricket fans closely following how the ICC will respond to Pakistan’s demands.
