Lahore — The International Cricket Council (ICC) has reportedly turned down a request from the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to replace match referee Jeff Crowe Pycroft for upcoming fixtures.
According to media reports, the PCB had expressed concerns over officiating neutrality, but the ICC maintained that its referees are appointed through a transparent process and cannot be changed upon request from individual boards.
The decision has sparked debate among cricket fans and analysts, with some supporting the PCB’s stance while others defending the ICC’s move to uphold its standard procedures.
