Pakistan Cricket Board is once again on target. This time the PCB is facing criticism after a major security violation during the ICC Champions Trophy. This time the security incident occurred during the match played between New Zealand and Bangladesh, when a man entered the ground. This intruder was arrested and produced in court, and now the PCB has banned him in all cricket stadiums in Pakistan. Surprisingly, this person also tried to embrace New Zealand player Rachin Ravindra.
This incident is quite embarrassing for Pakistan, because this is the first time that Pakistan is hosting the ICC tournament after 29 years.
After this security violation, the PCB claimed that it is making security more strict so that such an incident does not happen again. The PCB also issued an official statement on the matter.The PCB said in its statement, "PCB has taken seriously the security violations in Rawalpindi, when an audience entered the ground. Ensuring safety of players and officials is our top priority. As a responsible organization, we have interacted with local security agencies who have promised to increase the number of security personnel around the ground and strengthen the access control measures.
” The statement further said, "The person involved in this incident was arrested and produced in the court. Apart from this, he has been banned on entry in all cricket stadiums in Pakistan. "Rachin Ravindra has already fallen victim to a serious head injury during the triad-series played in Pakistan. In such a situation, when these intruders came to the field to hug them, young Kiwi players were not happy at all. The PCB said that it is now working on strengthening the security protocol with the officials.
PCB said, “To prevent such incidents in future, PCB security agencies and stadium authorities in association with PCB security agencies and stadium authorities review security protocols and Working on strengthening them.
