NEW DELHI: The International Cricket Council (ICC) is unlikely to take any formal action on the complaint lodged by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) regarding alleged unruly crowd behaviour during the recent India-Pakistan World Cup match in Ahmedabad. The ICC has stated that its anti-discrimination code is primarily applicable to individuals and does not cover the collective actions of a group or crowd.
During the high-stakes match at the Narendra Modi Stadium, which drew over one lakh fans, only a mere three Pakistani-American fans were in attendance to support the Pakistan team. Some sections of the crowd had heckled Pakistan's Mohammed Rizwan with religious chants as he made his way back to the pavilion after being dismissed. This prompted the PCB to file a complaint with the ICC, citing inappropriate behaviour from the crowd.
