The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has decided against boycotting the International Cricket Council (ICC) Awards in the wake of spinner Saeed Ajmal's snub from the Test Player of the Year award, but would send only a handful of players to attend the awards ceremony without any senior official being present. Ajmal was omitted from the final list of players nominated for the awards, which was followed by a strong reaction in Pakistan , with the PCB also pondering over a boycott of the function to register a 'protest'. A PCB press release said that the matter will be raised in the upcoming Chief Executives (CEC) meeting of the ICC, where it will seek for a review of the process of finalising the nominee. "The matter will be raised in the upcoming CEC meeting and a review would be sought to avoid any such incidents in the future," the Express Tribune quoted a PCB statement, as saying.. "Although the PCB stands with reservations on the issue, it has decided not to boycott the awards ceremony and as a token send some squad members to the event. However, no senior board official will attend the ceremony," the statement added.
