Pakistan cancelled their scheduled press conference on Tuesday, ahead of their Asia Cup match against hosts UAE on Wednesday, and instead conducted a closed-door practice session at the ICC Academy, reported telecomasia.net.

It is learnt that this is a fall out of ICC rejecting Pakistan's protest to remove match referee Andy Pycroft after the no-handshake controversy with India.
