Lahore: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has refused to officially comment on reports that BCCI president Anurag Thakur will write to the ICC to not place Pakistan with India in the group stages of any ICC event.
A senior PCB official told PTI that since nothing had taken place officially it was useless to comment on such reports.
“We are hearing and reading such statements in recent days but we don’t think it is necessary to react to them at this stage” he said. Thakur, who is also a top leader of the ruling BJP party, said on Friday that BCCI would ask the ICC not to put India with Pakistan in the same group of any ICC event.
Earlier, Thakur had completely ruled out any cricket ties with Pakistan considering the escalating tension between the two countries.
