As per news agency PTI, a source said that the PCB’s chief executive officer Sumair Ahmed, who is also the director of the tournament, was present at the venue but was not invited for the ceremony. “PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi didn’t go to Dubai because of prior commitments as federal minister for interior but the PCB CEO was sent to represent Pakistan at the final and closing presentation,” the source was quoted as saying. He said for some reason or misunderstanding, the PCB official was not called on the podium. The source added that perhaps the CEO might not have been able to communicate properly to the ICC people responsible for organising the final ceremony and was left out.
