The Pakistan Cricket Board has delayed the ODI squad announcement because the Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) has didn’t chalk out the schedule and journey plan for the sequence.
The ACB’s announcement delay comes within the backdrop of the evolving state of affairs in Afghanistan, because the Taliban have taken over the nation — prompting confusion and compelling nations to exit their residents.
PCB spokesperson stated the ODI sequence between the 2 neighbouring nations was scheduled to happen in Sri Lanka from September three to 9 — which Afghanistan was set to host.
The spokesperson stated the board deliberate to start out the coaching camp for the sequence from August 21 to 28, however because the Afghan board has didn’t do its job up to now, PCB plans to carry on to the squad announcement and coaching camp.
“We do not want to make additional expenses.”
Sources stated that the ACB’s palms are tied as business flight operations from Kabul are partially allowed up to now, and until they’re opened fully, the sequence will stay doubtful.
The Taliban had accomplished their sweep throughout Afghanistan by taking on Kabul final week, following the end result of a 20-year invasion with the US withdrawal of troops.
The Taliban’s first information briefing — addressed by their spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid — since their return to Kabul steered they’d impose their legal guidelines extra softly than throughout their harsh 1996-2001 rule.
