PCB lodges complaint against Chris Broad

NEW DELHI: Let down by severe criticism on security lapses Pakistan Cricket Board on Monday logged an official complaint with ICC against its match referee Chris Broad who witnessed the ill fated terror attack on the Lankan team last week.

A furiated PCB official said, "Instead of public outcry he (Chris Broad) should have written to ICC."

"He has breeched the ICC Code of Conduct", the official added.

We have mentioned all the points in our complaint letter which was dispatched to the ICC headquarters on Monday afternoon said another PCB official.

Earlier, Pakistan cricket chief Ejaz Butt accused match official Chris Broad of lying about poor security during the terrorist attack on the Sri Lankan team in Lahore last week.

"That a gentleman of his stature is saying this is unfortunate," Butt, chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), told a news conference.

Seven Sri Lankan players and their assistant coach were also wounded.

Broad, travelling behind in a bus whose driver was killed, had raised security concerns before the tour to Pakistan but said the protection he had been promised was not provided.

"There was not a sign of a policeman anywhere. They had clearly gone, left the scene and left us to be sitting ducks," he had said.
