Pakistan Cricket Board: PCB scotches speculation over infighting in Pakistan team | Cricket News

NEW DELHI: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) emphatically dismissed reports of discord and internal strife within the national team, which is currently participating in the World Cup in India.
In an official press release, the PCB categorically refuted recent speculations surrounding any signs of internal discord within the team led by Babar Azam.

The PCB’s response comes in the wake of escalating rumours regarding possible disunity within the team.
Some Pakistani journalists had taken to social media to hint at alleged conflicts within the squad, pledging to provide further information following the match against Afghanistan on Monday.
According to those posts, two players got into a physical altercation and there has been growing discord in the team with captain Babar facing isolation from a group of players.

“Contrary to rumours circulated by a certain section of the media, the PCB unequivocally assures that the team is cohesive and there is no evidence to support these unsubstantiated claims,” the release said.
The PCB said it is disappointed by the dissemination of false news.
Pakistan won their first two games against Netherlands and Sri Lanka before losing to Australia and India.
