According to Indian media, after the victory of the Asia Cup group phase of India on September 14, the International Cricket Council (ICC) confessed to the complaint by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), Indian captain Surya Kumar Yadav faced scrutiny.
The ICC confirmed that she was considering a PCB complaint, alleging Yadav to do cricket politics and violated the code of conduct on non -impartiality. Officials said that with representatives of both BCCI and PCB, a formal hearing could be issued, giving Yadav a accepting charge before the ICC match referee, officials said.
Sources said that the PCB submitted a detailed letter to the ICC, demanding stern action against Surya Kumar. The letter alleges that the Indian captain “had included the game in politics and damaged his reputation.”
He maintained that all the ICC Code of Conduct came to the match on September 14, and Yadav deliberately cited the Pahalgam incident and Operation Sandur.
According to the letter, the behavior of Suriyamar was against the spirit of the Code of Conduct and was confirmed. He recalled that the ICC had already declared slogans such as “Free Gaza” and “Freedom Human Right” to violate the Code of Conduct.
The PCB has further warned that if the action is not taken, “the cricket field will take the risk of becoming a political field,” and concluded that the Indian captain’s statements were directly against Pakistan, which requires the toughest possible steps.
This review came against the background of the array between arc rivals, which was born from the group phase collision, which attracted considerable attention both in and outside the field.
The drama began when the Indian captain crossed the afternoon presentation speech as a crossing of all sports to drag politicians into cricket, which many observers have described as “unprecedented” and “harmful to the spirit of the game.”
India’s refusal to exchange traditional hands at the toss ceremony was to increase tension. This was a mistake in the direction of the match referee Andy Pikraf.
Matters increased to the point where the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) considered the Asia Cup to fully pull. According to the PCB, the situation was eliminated only when Pacific confronted it only after misrepresenting the wrong aspects of the dispute and expressing regret.
In addition to the queue, the Indian media reported that the BCCI also filed a complaint with the ICC against Pakistani players Harsh Rauf and Sahib Zada Farhan on the alleged provocative gestures during the same tournament. The video evidence is alleged to be submitted to the referee and Andy Praft.
The Indian board alleged that Harris Rauf pointed to the jet crash and pointed to “Six-Zero” in response to the “Kohli, Kohli” slogans, while Zada Farhan shot his half century. The BCCI claimed that such actions were against the spirit of the game and demanded strict discipline action.
India won the September 14 group match by seven wickets in Dubai and then offended Pakistan and refused to hand over their opponents. This was the first meeting between the neighbors as more than 70 people were killed in a four -day armed conflict in May.
After the conquest of India, Surya Kumar dedicated his victory to the victims of the Pahalgam terrorist attack and expressed solidarity with the armed forces.
During the presentation ceremony, he said, “The best opportunity, taking time, we stand with the families of the victims of the terrorist attack. We express our solidarity … We want to dedicate the victory for all our armed forces who have shown great bravery.”
At a later press conference, Yadav added, the Indian team avoided the hands of Pakistani players on the instructions of the BCCI and the Indian government. He remarked, “Our government and BCCI, we were attached today … We just came here to play games.”
The PCB said that these statements crossed the line, alleging that Suriyamar used the match as a political messaging platform.
With the ICC acknowledging the PCB complaint, if the hearing goes ahead, Suriyarkumar faces possible disciplinary action. A final decision is expected soon.
