Pakistan Blind Cricket Council (PBCC) President Syed Sultan Shah has confirmed that the Cricket Association for Blind in India (CABI) has sent a letter to the PBCC, asking Pakistan to reconsider their decision to pull out from January’s Asia Cup to be held in India.
The PBCC decided against participating in the event as a sign of protest over the recent misbehaviour with Pakistan Cricket Board officials by the neighbours.“There are some options which we will present to participate in the Asia Cup, while we would also seek the government’s consent whether to travel to India or not,” Sultan told The Express Tribune.
