Pakistan, Asia Cup, Jay Shah: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has expressed displeasure over BCCI secretary and Asian Cricket Council chairman Jay Shah releasing the upcoming Asia Cup schedule ahead of the official ceremony in Lahore this week.

The PCB on Wednesday organized a ceremony in Lahore to unveil the Asia Cup trophy and announce the schedule. It was to be attended by former Pakistan cricketers and members of the Cricket Management Committee headed by Zaka Ashraf. Jai Shah announced the program on internet media half an hour before the ceremony.

Pakistan angry Jay Shah: Full schedule released half an hour before instead of 5 minutes :-

“The PCB had told the ACC that it would announce the Asia Cup schedule within five minutes of the start of the ceremony in Lahore, but half an hour before the ceremony at 7:15, Jay Shah made the announcement on the internet media,” a source in the board said.

The source said that this destroyed the importance of the PCB’s function. He said that the PCB has expressed its displeasure to the ACC but told that it was due to a misunderstanding. The source said, “ACC said that there was a misunderstanding due to the time difference but the announcement by Jay Shah was surprising as India’s time is half an hour ahead of Pakistan’s.”
