Pakistan’s announced threat to pull out of the ongoing Asia Cup after he demanded that the referee of ICC matches Andy Pycroft
Five nations for playing-India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Afghanistan-Medica, each, each of which is 75 % of the annual income of the Asian cricket council. The remaining 25 % are shared by associated nations.
Vertical incomes include the share of transmitted shops (linear and digital), various sponsorship and tickets.
From this Asian Cup, the projected earnings of the Pakistani cricket council are between $ 12 and 16 million, and any decision to extend the DOOM for a cricket body that is not so flushing with cash as BCCI.
Sony Pictures Network India (SPNI) filled an eight-year agreement (2024-2031) with ACC for $ 170 million. The agreement also includes the broadcast of the women’s Asia Cup and the Asia Cup under 19 years.
Naqvi, which is also the holder of the function of the Federal Minister for Interior and Narcotics in Pakistan, is currently the head of ACC.
But in his office as a PCB boss, he did not stand the words grinding to pycroft, After his match on Sunday he was held by the responsible Furore, who was launched by the rejection of the Indian team. ICC refused to remove Pycroft and rejected PCB demand.
“Can Naqvi risk Pakistan to lose approximately $ 16 million from the estimated budget of $ 227 million per fiscal year?
“It will be on thin ice for him. But again, as one of Pakistan’s important ministers, he must also keep his respect for his compatriots,” the source said on PCB development under anonymity.

It is clear that if PCB decides to pull out Then it would remain alone in the ACC meeting room, where other directors could protest against gaining a 15 % annual share without playing awnings.
Naqvi, like the ACC head, will also have to bear the onslaught and face the anger of the official transmitter that can refuse to pay the agreed fee.
The India-Pakistani match is the largest income generator and the elevator would potentially mean a huge loss for the transmitter that always sells advertising slots for the awnings match.
Overall, Naqvi and Pakistan have a lot to lose and get very little to get.
Therefore, Pycroft is likely to continue as a referee in his game against UAE on Wednesday.
If they do not decide to offer them some freedom by exchange of Pycroft and Richie Richardson matches.
