The president of Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), Mohin Naqvi, met the national team players on Saturday in Dubai before their second meeting with India in the Asian Asian Cup tomorrow.
The leader of the PCB visited the players during their training session at the Oval Two of the ICC Academy, where he also spoke with head coach Mike Hesson and Captain Salman Ali Agha.
The players, on the other hand, continued to train with energy and a full -fledged spirit.
On the arrival of Naqvi, the Indian support staff and the players wrapped their training session and returned to the hotel.
Earlier, Pakistani and Indian fans welcomed the Pakistani team when they arrived at the ICC academy. Indian supporters have also taken photos with the Pakistani striker Fakhar Zaman.
The meeting comes in the context of the “handshake controversy” which followed the anterior shock of Pakistan with India, which drew considerable attention to and out of the field.
Earlier in the day, the Pakistani cricket team canceled its planned pre-match press conference. The decision was officially confirmed today (Saturday), although the management of the team has given no reason.
A Pakistani player or a member of the support staff was supposed to contact the media at 6 p.m., but he was canceled.
India won the September 14 group match by seven counters in Dubai and then refused to shake hands with their opponents, angry with Pakistan.
It was the first meeting between the neighbors since a four -day armed conflict in May left more than 70 people.
Pakistan Cricket Board has filed a demonstration with the International Cricket Council (ICC), saying that the referee of the match Andy Pycroft said to the Skipper Salman Agha not to approach the Indian counterpart Suryakumar Yadav for a handshake during the draw.
The PCB demanded that Pycroft be withdrawn from its matches and threatened to withdraw from the T20i competition to eight teams.
Their last group match was held for an hour before the PCB said that Pycroft apologized, and the match, with the Zimbabwean in charge, finally took front.
According to the PCB, Pycroft described the incident following poor communication. The ICC has indicated its desire to conduct an official investigation into the alleged violation of the code of conduct.
Pakistan beat the hosts, the United Arab Emirates, to qualify for the next step, the Super Fours, and organize another meeting with India in Dubai.
The Indian media reported that the team planned to stick to its non-Hands policy for the shock on Sunday.
