LAHORE: (Yaseen Hashmi) Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) President Aminul Islam arrived in Lahore on an emergency visit amid escalating uncertainty surrounding a potential Pakistan-India cricket fixture, officials and sources said.
Islam met Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Mohsin Naqvi shortly after landing in Lahore. According to cricketing sources, both officials are expected to jointly participate in an emergency virtual meeting of the International Cricket Council (ICC) to discuss the ongoing dispute triggered by Pakistan’s reported refusal to play a match against India.
The ICC convened the urgent session following rising tensions and concerns over scheduling and participation involving the two arch-rivals. While officials have not publicly disclosed full details, insiders said the meeting aims to explore possible solutions and prevent disruption to the tournament structure and international cricket commitments.
Sources added that Islam’s visit is brief but significant, highlighting Bangladesh’s interest in monitoring developments that could affect multinational cricket events. The BCB chief is expected to attend key discussions in Lahore before departing for Dhaka later the same day.
Meanwhile, another emergency ICC meeting is anticipated later today to further review the evolving situation between Pakistan and India. Cricket authorities are working to prevent the dispute from impacting upcoming fixtures and broader international cricket operations.
