The ICC has sought an explanation from Pakistan on how the âForce Majeure' clause can be invoked to justify the team's refusal to play the T20 World Cup match against India after the PCB tried to wriggle out of the situation by putting the onus on its government.
But there is a glimmer of hope now as PCB has approached the ICC for deliberations, as per an ICC Director, who feels that the marquee clash slated on February 15 will eventually take place. "The talks have started," he said.
The ICC has asked Pakistan Cricket Board to justify pulling out of one match while playing the remaining tournament on government instructions. Having received the world body's formal communication, the PCB initiated further discussions.
