Pakistan Cricket Board Chairman Mohsin Naqvi to Attend ICC Meeting Remotely

Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Mohsin Naqvi will attend the International Cricket Council’s annual board meeting later this month via video link rather than traveling to Ahmedabad, where the session is scheduled to run alongside the Indian Premier League final. The ICC Board meeting, planned for May 30 and 31, coincides with the May 31 IPL final at Narendra Modi Stadium, according to the ICC calendar described in reporting. Naqvi’s participation would be virtual, alongside two other PCB representatives, with officials citing established provisions for members unable to travel.

The ICC also has other meetings in the same window. The chief executives committee meeting is set for May 21 and is expected to be held virtually, while the board meeting is the main in-person gathering in Ahmedabad. The meetings were originally slated for Doha earlier this year, but were moved to India due to the crisis in West Asia.

While the latest reporting indicates Naqvi will not attend in person, there have been conflicting accounts about whether he received an invitation to attend the IPL final itself. Some reports earlier said Naqvi had been invited to both the ICC meeting and the IPL final....
