Bangalore based veteran Cricket analyst Sharda Ugra said
BCCI Secretary and ACC President post held by same person is a conflict of interest. The Indian Cricket is hurting Pakistan just because it can. Back in 90s, Asian nations were a bloc and presented a united front, but things have changed now. This is a classic bullying tactic.

The BCCI appears to be prioritizing financial gain over the betterment of cricket. Their lack of enthusiasm for promoting the sport and ensuring equality among nations is evident. Their recurring displays of dishonesty are undermining the integrity of this beautiful game. Himanshu Pareek recently wrote a peace on how BCCI is “BJP’s Control of Cricket in India”. I don’t think she can do anymore.
Disaster for Indian cricket
Additionally, there have been instances of them pressuring umpires to reverse decisions in their favor. It seems they may soon request customized pitches—one favorable for their batting and another for their bowlers—within the same match. Despite their abundant resources, this attitude of entitlement prevents them from achieving success, setting an unfortunate benchmark for shamelessness. As a result of their arrogance and unfair conduct, fans are left disillusioned, which is not only embarrassing but also deeply disappointing.
The Asian cricket council and ICC have made some weird decision in favour of India but maybe we should keep quiet and not upset them as they’ve a habit of mixing this beautiful sports with dirty politics.

I personally heard Wasim Akram say this, and it’s admirable how candid he was, giving precedence to the country’s interests over any concerns about the IPL team’s coaching position.
This unfortunate situation unfolds when an arrogant cricket board like the BCCI unjustly strips hosting rights from the rightful board, PCB. The hybrid model entailed extensive travel for the host nation, which seems impractical. The rain ruining matches could have been avoided if they had been played in Lahore or Karachi, making the current circumstances appear rather absurd.
