ICC Chair Jay Shah: Underfire for not having its representative on the podium for the prize distribution ceremony after the Champions Trophy final, the Pakistan Cricket Board has lodged a protest with the International Cricket Council (ICC) for ignoring its representative during Sunday's event in Dubai.

Senior PCB officials said the PCB has written a strongly worded letter to the ICC management protesting why its representative, who was in the stadium, was not invited to be on the podium for the ceremony, Telecom Asia Sport (www.telecomasia.net) said in a report on Monday.

Pakistan is the official host of the Champions Trophy which was held on a hybrid model with Rohit Sharma's team playing its matches in Dubai after the Indian government did not allow the team to travel to the neighbouring country.
