PCB asks ICC to explain India Champions Trophy refusal

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said on Tuesday it has asked the sport’s governing body to explain India’s refusal to send a team to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy next year.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) informed the PCB last week that India would not tour Pakistan for the eight-team tournament, leaving the fate of the event hanging in the balance.

Pakistan had previously rejected the option of a hybrid arrangement that would allow India to play their matches at neutral venues, for example in the United Arab Emirates.

“The PCB has responded to last week’s ICC letter seeking clarifications for the Indian Board’s decision not to travel to Pakistan for next year’s Champions Trophy,” Sami-Ul-Hasan told AFP.

Deteriorating political ties have meant the bitter rivals have not played a bilateral cricket series for over a decade — squaring off only in ICC multi-nation events.

Pakistani media reported on Tuesday that the PCB would be unwilling to accept security reasons for India’s refusal to visit.

New Zealand have toured Pakistan three times in the past two years, with England visiting twice and Australia once in the same period.

Pakistan also visited India for last year’s ODI World Cup and the PCB had expected the gesture to be reciprocated for the Champions Trophy.

The Champions Trophy is slated to be played across three venues — Lahore, Rawalpindi and Karachi — from February 19 to March 9 next year.

But a final schedule due to be announced this week has been postponed over the stand-off — which PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi termed disappointing.

“Almost every country wants the tournament to be played in Pakistan and it will be disappointing if they don’t come,” Naqvi, who is also the interior minister, said last week.

“I don’t think anyone should make this a political matter. We’ll give every team as many facilities as we can.” Naqvi said Pakistan would consider pulling out of events in India as a response.

“Pakistan has shown great gestures to India in the past, and we’d like to say clearly India shouldn’t expect such friendly gestures from us every time”.

India is due to host the women’s ODI World Cup and Asia Cup next year and will co-host the Twenty20 World Cup with Sri Lanka in 2026.

Impact of Dimensional Variability of Primary Packaging Materials on the Break-Loose and Gliding Forces of Prefilled Syringes

A prefilled syringe (PFS) should be able to be adequately and consistently extruded during injection for optimal safe drug delivery and accurate dosing. To facilitate appropriate break-loose and gliding forces (BLGFs) required during injection, certain primary packaging materials (PPMs) such as the syringe barrel and plunger are usually coated with silicone oil, which acts as a lubricant. Due to its direct contact with drug, silicone oil can increase the number of particles in the syringe, which could lead to adverse interactions. Compliance with regulatory-defined silicone oil quantities in certain drug products, such as ophthalmics, presents a trade-off with the necessity for desirable low and consistent BLGF. In addition to its siliconization, the dimensional accuracy of the PPM has an important role in controlling the BLGF. The dimensions of the PPM are individualized depending on the product and its design and have certain tolerances that must be met during manufacturing. Most studies on ophthalmics focused on the adverse interactions between silicone oil and the drug. To the authors' knowledge, there have been no public studies so far that have investigated the impact of the dimensional variability of the PPM on the BLGF in ophthalmic PFSs. In this study, we applied advanced optical shaft and tactile measuring technologies to investigate this impact. The syringes investigated were first sampled during aseptic production and tested for the BLGF. Subsequently, defined dimensions of the PPM were measured individually. The results showed that the dimensional variability of the PPM can have a negative impact on the BLGF, despite their conformity to specifications, which indicates that the currently available market quality of PPMs is improvable for critical drug products such as ophthalmics. This study could serve as an approach to define product-specific requirements for primary packaging combinations and thus appropriate specifications based on data during the development stage of drug products.
