Former Pakistan keeper-batter Rashid Latif believes the PCB played it smartly, claiming that they put a foot on BCCI’s tail by taking the Champions Trophy tour to PoK. Latif also observed how there was no official statement from the BCCI despite them communicating about the trophy tour to the ICC.
“Pakistan ne badi smart move ki thi. BCCI se bhi jawaab hee nahin aaya. Jab yeh Muzzaffarabad ka naam aaya, toh BCCI ko laga unke dum pe paanv rakh diya. Fauran ICC ko bola email karo. Yeh accha kiya Pakistan ne, jisne bhi kiya na cheekhein nikal gayi unki. Waise jawaab nahin de rahe hain, kahin pe bhi statement nahin aaya hai pure saal mein. Jisne bhi khela clever mind se khela. Nerve pakdi hui hai unki. Jise bhi khela hai smartly khela hai. BCCI ke dum pe pehli baar paanv rakha aur cheekhein nikal gayi.”
Rashid Latif said “PCB put the foot on BCCI’s tail by adding Muzaffarabad, Azad Kashmir in trophy tour venues. BCCI went crying to ICC to stop PCB from doing it, it was very smart move from PCB. BCCI were left screaming”

(Pakistan played it smartly. BCCI issued no statement whatsoever. When the topic of Muzzaffarad came, then BCCI thought they had placed their feet on their tail. They immediately asked ICC to write an email. Whoever did this, did with a clever mind.)
