The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Tuesday filed an official complaint with the ICC over "inappropriate conduct" of the Indian fans towards Pakistan players during the high-profile World Cup match against the hosts at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

The PCB also lodged another formal protest with the International Cricket Council over delays in visas issued to Pakistani journalists and fans hoping to attend the World Cup 2023 in India.

"The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has lodged another formal protest with the ICC over delays in visas for Pakistani journalists and the absence of a visa policy for Pakistan fans for the ongoing World Cup 2023,' the PCB posted on X, formerly Twitter.

"The PCB has also filed a complaint regarding inappropriate conduct targeted at the Pakistan squad during the India vs Pakistan match held on 14 October 2023."

Indian fans have trolled PCB for lodging the complaint and have come up with innovative memes to troll the cricket board. Have a look.

After Pakistan's seven-wicket defeat to India, Pakistan head coach Mickey Arthur complained that the high-octane clash "seemed like a BCCI event" due to lack of Pakistan support at the stands.

During the marquee match that ended in a convincing win for India, videos of Pakistani players being subjected to religion-centric chants and boos were also circulated. Mohammad Rizwan, who has made it a habit to offer Namaz after hitting a fifty or a hundred in the middle of the ground, was in special focus of the fans.

Earlier in the day, PCB's cricket management committee head Zaka Ashraf came back from India amid speculations that the Pakistan Board was considering lodging a protest with the ICC over "some of the incidents" during their World Cup match against India.

Pakistan are currently fourth in the standings with two wins in three games, their only loss being the one against India. The side will next face Australia at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore on Friday, October 20.
