PCB blamed for Rachin Ravindra injury, ICC told 'shift Champions Trophy to Dubai'

New Zealand's Rachin Ravindra incurred a freak injury during the first ODI of the tri-series against Pakistan on Sunday.
He suffered a laceration to his forehead, leaving him bleeding. He was immediately taken off the field.
Although New Zealand Cricket claimed he was "otherwise well," Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) was savaged over the incident, with social media users bluntly telling the International Cricket Council (ICC) to reconsider Pakistan as the Champions Trophy host.
The incident happened in the 37th over of Pakistan's innings when Ravindra was seen steading himself to take the catch after Khushdil Shah slog-swept Michael Bracewell towards deep square leg. However, the New Zealand star lost sight of the ball amidst the floodlights as it hit him in the face.
