PCB’s Mohsin Naqvi To Attend ICC Board Meeting Virtually As Ahmedabad Hosts Sessions During IPL Final Weekend

The move sidesteps a politically sensitive India trip for Pakistan’s board chief.

Overview

  • PTI reported Saturday that Mohsin Naqvi will skip travel to Ahmedabad and join the ICC Board meeting by video, with no BCCI invite to the IPL final.
  • The ICC calendar sets a virtual Chief Executives’ Committee meeting for May 21 and in-person Board sessions for May 30–31 in Ahmedabad alongside the IPL final at Narendra Modi Stadium.
  • The PCB confirmed the ICC invitation for Naqvi, though any travel would require approval from Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, and virtual attendance is a routine ICC option used by multiple members.
  • The ICC shifted these quarterly meetings from Doha after the West Asia crisis disrupted the original March–April schedule.
  • Strained PCBBCCI ties form the backdrop, including the Asia Cup 2025 trophy dispute in Dubai that left the silverware under PCB control and fed doubts over an India visit.
