Chief Selector Inzamam-ul-Haq was also not spared and lampooned in his typical style by farcically

The IFAB meeting also saw changes approved to the laws related to a player being substituted having to leave the field of play at the nearest boundary line, yellow and red cards for misconduct by team officials and the ball not having to leave the penalty area at goal-kicks and
defending team free-kicks in the penalty area.Attacking players will also now have to stand one metre away from the defensive wall at free-kicks.
"That will be the focus now, to try and score against this strong
defending team."
