According to ACC and ICC rules, he was standing there as ACC chief, and the trophy should have been handed through his hands only,” Yousuf informed Pakistani channel Samaa TV.“You didn’t take it at that moment, so what’s the hurry now? You should have gone and collected it from his office if you remembered that you had to take the trophy. At the ground, you were busy making your films. I said it that day too — they are not coming out of the filmy world. “This is sports activities, this is cricket; films will not be taking part in right here. In films, there are retakes and all, however turning into a hero in films is a unique factor. You are taking part in a real sport right here, and now you might be saying you need the trophy.”The controversy continues to draw attention in cricket circles, highlighting tensions between the cricket administrations of both nations.
