In a video statement, Shoaib Akhtar expressed his disappointment, saying, “India has won the ICC Champions Trophy, but one strange thing was noticed that no representative of the Pakistan Cricket Board was present there. Pakistan was hosting this event, and our country was not represented here
Shoaib Akhtar said that the Champions Trophy was a global stage, and it was essential for the PCB to have a presence. He lamented that despite Pakistan’s hosting duties, no PCB member was seen at the ceremony.
“It’s beyond my understanding that Pakistan, being the host country, had no representation at the ceremony. Why no PCB official was present to hand over the trophy,” Shoaib Akhtar added
“Why didn’t anyone from the PCB attend? Why didn’t anyone from the PCB come to present the trophy? This time, think about it. It was a world stage, and you should have been there. Unfortunately, I didn’t see any PCB member there,” Shoaib Akhtar said.
