India captain Suryakumar Yadav is confronted with control after the International Cricket Council (ICC) had admitted a complaint from the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and an assessment launched in his comments after the match after the Indian Asia Cup Group stage, according to Indian Media, according to Indian Media.
The ICC confirmed that it is considering the PCB complaint, which accuses Yadav of politicizing cricket and violating the code of conduct for neutrality. Officials said that a formal hearing could be convened, giving Yadav the choice to accept or dispute the indictment for an ICC match referee, in addition to representatives of both the BCCI and PCB.
Sources said the PCB submitted a detailed letter to the ICC, so that strict action against Suryakumar demanded. The letter claimed that the Indian captain “had involved the game in politics and had damaged his reputation.”
It claimed that all clauses of the Code of Conduct of the ICC applied to the competition of September 14 and that Yadav was deliberately referred to the Pahalgam incident and Operation Sindoor.
According to the letter, Suryakumar’s behavior went against the spirit of the code of conduct and justified action. It recalled that the ICC had already explained slogans such as “Free Gaza” and “Freedom is human right” to be violations of the code of conduct.
The PCB further warned that if no action were taken, “the cricket field would run the risk of becoming a political arena,” and concluded that the statements of the Indian captain were directly against Pakistan, who required the strictest possible measures.
The assessment comes against the background of a continuous row between the arch rivals, which results from the collision of the group phase, which attracted a lot of attention both and outside the field.
The drama then started the Indian captain exceeded all the boundaries of sportiness by using his speech after the game to drag politics to cricket, a movement described by many observers as “unprecedented” and “harmful to the spirit of the game”.
The worsening of the tension was the refusal of India to exchange a traditional handshake during the toss ceremony – reportedly directed by competition referee Andy Pycroft.
Matters escalated to the point where the Pakistan Cricketboard (PCB) considered pulling itself out of the Asia Cup. The situation only became harmless after Pycroft admitted that according to PCB it had the aspects of the controversy inversely reversed and regretted it.
Added to the row, Indian Media reported that the BCCI also filed a complaint with the ICC against Pakistani players Haris Rauf and Sahibzada Farhan for alleged provocative gestures during the same tournament. Allegedly video certificate has been submitted to Match referee Andy Pycroft.
The Indian administration claimed that Haris Rauf made Jet crash gestures and signaled “six-zero” in response to spectators who marked “Kohli, Kohli”, while Sahibzada Farhan marked his half century with a gunfire celebration. The BCCI claimed that such actions were against the spirit of the game and demanded strict disciplinary action.
India won the group of September 14 through seven wickets in Dubai and then refused to shake hands with their opponents, who made Pakistan angry. It was the first meeting between the neighbors, because a four -day reinforced conflict in May left more than 70 people to death.
After the victory of India, Suryakumar dedicated the victims of the terror attack of Pahalgam and expressed solidarity with the armed forces.
“Perfect occasion, which take the time out, we are with the families of the victims of the Pahalgam terror attack. We express our solidarity … Want to devote the victory to all our forces who showed a lot of courage,” he said during the presentation ceremony.
During the press conference after the game, Yadav continued and said that the Indian team hands with Pakistani players about the instructions of the BCCI and the Indian government. “Our government and BCCI, we were aligned today … We came here to just play the game,” he noticed.
The PCB said that these statements exceeded the limit and claimed that Suryakumar used the competition as a platform for political messages.
Because the ICC has now admitted the PCB complaint, Suryakumar is confronted with potential disciplinary measures if the hearing progresses. A final decision is expected soon.
