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.
Waseem Akram on Star Sports
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.
Rain saved India!
It’s worth reiterating that our ongoing issues with rain are persisting due to the stubbornness of a certain board that refused to cooperate. Even Dambulla could have been a viable option, but the influence of the BJP lobby is tarnishing Indian cricket. Jay Shah was well aware that there would be rain in Sri Lanka, allowing them to potentially escape defeat, while Pakistan would not benefit financially. The rain wouldn’t have been a concern at all if your team hadn’t acted entitled and had simply come to Pakistan, the host country. Such actions raise concerns about their sportsmanship.
