ICC’s Decision and Pakistan’s Hotel Change
After the marquee India-Pakistan encounter, the International Cricket Council (ICC) made a significant decision favoring the Pakistan team. Responding to a complaint from the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) about the lengthy travel time to their hotel in New York, the ICC relocated the Pakistan team to a new hotel just five minutes from the stadium. This decision, influenced by PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi, provides substantial relief for the Pakistani players, ensuring they can better focus on their preparation and rest.
