Sources confirmed that the Bangladesh Cricket Board President arrived in Lahore to meet Pakistan Cricket Board Chairman Mohsin Naqvi. The Aminul Islam Lahore visit is being seen as a key move linked to growing pressure on the ICC to resolve the crisis.

Officials said the Bangladesh Cricket Board chief will also join an emergency ICC meeting via video link. The discussions are expected to focus on Pakistan’s refusal to face India and the possible impact on the tournament schedule.

According to insiders, the Aminul Islam Lahore visit is part of broader efforts by the Bangladesh Cricket Board to support dialogue rather than confrontation. After the meetings, Aminul Islam is expected to return to Dhaka later the same day.

Earlier, the Pakistan Cricket Board rejected Indian media reports claiming it had approached the ICC over the Pakistan India match. A PCB spokesperson dismissed the claims and said the board had not initiated any contact.

The situation has kept the ICC under pressure, as Pakistan India matches are among the most commercially valuable fixtures in world cricket. The Bangladesh Cricket Board is believed to be coordinating quietly with stakeholders to help ease tensions.

Pakistan and India have not played bilateral cricket for long time, making every encounter politically sensitive and closely watched by fans worldwide.
