LAHORE (Dunya News) - The delegations from the International Cricket Council (ICC) and the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) have arrived in Lahore, where discussions are expected on the ongoing dispute related to the T20 World Cup.
ICC Deputy Chairman Imran Khawaja was received at Lahore Airport by Adviser to PCB Chairman, Aamer Mir, while BCB President Aminul Islam was welcomed by Pakistan Super League Chief Executive Officer Salman Naseer, who extended a warm welcome to the visiting dignitaries.
During their visit, Imran Khawaja and Aminul Islam are scheduled to meet Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Mohsin Naqvi.
The BCB president is also expected to hold additional meetings with key stakeholders.
The visit comes at a critical time, as the ICC recently excluded Bangladesh from the T20 World Cup.
Bangladesh had earlier refused to send its team to India, citing security concerns, and requested that its matches be shifted to Sri Lanka. The ICC rejected the request.
In response, Pakistan expressed solidarity with Bangladesh and announced a boycott of matches involving India in the T20 World Cup.
Sources said the meetings in Lahore are likely to focus on resolving differences, addressing security concerns, and exploring possible solutions to ease tensions surrounding the tournament.
