Former Pakistan cricketer Kamran Akmal slammed the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) over their request to change the venues for Pakistan's ODI World Cup 2023 games in India.

On his YouTube channel, Akmal said that their request getting rejected was the right thing to do and it was quite wrong if PCB had made such a request.

'It is an ICC event, so please let the ICC decide where the matches should take place. If the ICC had agreed to change the venues, the other boards would have also asked for such changes. It is just stupid if such a request was made,' Akmal added.

Pakistan had requested to swap their venues for group matches against Australia and Afghanistan, which was rejected by the ICC.
