Pakistan Cricket Board on Thursday launched an inquiry into the embarrassing incident of absence of the Indian national flag at the National Stadium entrance here during the ongoing Asia Cup.
On the first two days of the Asia Cup, the Indian flag was missing from the main entrance of the National Stadium where the Board had hoisted flags of all other participating nations — Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Hong Kong and United Arab Emirates — in the Asia Cup.
The matter was also raised during the press conference of Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni on Wednesday night after defeating Hong Kong but he diplomatically responded that the question should have been put to the PCB and not him.
The fault was rectified but sources in the PCB said an inquiry was being held as who was responsible for the faux pas which caused a lot of embarrassment.
"Apparently the person responsible for this task forgot about the Indian flag before it was pointed out to him," one source said.
