Recent acrimonious exchanges between players have now drawn administrators into the controversy, intensifying tensions between the two sides. <\/p>\n<p class=\"cb-nws-para\"> Following a series of complaints and counter-complaints lodged by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) against each other&#8217;s players, the International Cricket Council (ICC) has scheduled hearings for Thursday, September 25. Meanwhile, PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi has added fuel to the fire. <\/p>\n<p class=\"cb-nws-para\"> Naqvi posted a video of Cristiano Ronaldo gesturing like a crashing plane, mirroring an act Harris Rauf performed during the Super Four match on September 21. Rauf&#8217;s gesture was widely interpreted as a reference to the recent armed conflict between the two nations. While Naqvi&#8217;s exact intent remains open to interpretation, the PCB chief appears to be using the football legend&#8217;s clip to endorse and justify Rauf&#8217;s controversial act. <\/p>\n<p class=\"cb-nws-para\"> How this dispute unfolds remains to be seen. On Thursday, the ICC will hold a hearing on the BCCI&#8217;s complaint against Rauf&#8217;s gesture, as well as Sahibzada Farhan&#8217;s bat-as-gun celebration after reaching a half-century in the same game. <\/p>\n<p class=\"cb-nws-para\"> A separate hearing has also been scheduled for the PCB&#8217;s complaint against India&#8217;s Suryakumar Yadav, whose post-match remarks following the September 14 league fixture expressed solidarity with the Pahalgam terror victims and the Indian Army. Match referee Andy Pycroft will preside over the BCCI&#8217;s case, while Richie Richardson will adjudicate the complaint against the India skipper. <\/p>\n<p class=\"cb-nws-para\"> At first glance, these gestures may seem minor, but in the highly charged context of India-Pakistan tensions and the backdrop of the conflict between the countries earlier this year, they are unmistakably political statements, a clear breach of the ICC player code of conduct. <\/p>\n<p class=\"cb-nws-para\"> The two teams could also be in line for a third face-off in this competition, this time in the final on September 28. <\/p>\n<p> \u00a9 Cricbuzz <\/p>\n<p>     RELATED STORIES  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"FRACAS DEEPENS The Super Four encounter between the sides featured a lot of verbal exchanges. \u00a9 Getty The&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":159415,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[1721,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-159414","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cricket","8":"tag-cricket","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/159414","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=159414"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/159414\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/159415"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=159414"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=159414"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=159414"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
