ICC Will Always Side With India: Former PCB Chief on Champions Trophy Stand-Off

You can't expect the International Cricket Council (ICC) to be neutral when it comes to India

When it comes to cricket, India is a powerhouse. The country has a huge fan base, and its team is one of the best in the world. This gives India a lot of power within the International Cricket Council (ICC), the governing body for the sport. A former Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chief has said that the ICC will always side with India in any dispute.

The former PCB chief made these comments in the wake of the recent Champions Trophy stand-off between India and Pakistan. India refused to play Pakistan in the tournament, citing security concerns. The ICC eventually ruled in favor of India, and the match was canceled.

The former PCB chief said that he was not surprised by the ICC's decision. He said that the ICC is always going to side with India because India is such a powerful country in cricket. He said that the ICC is afraid of losing India's support, and so it will always do what India wants.

Implications for the Future of Cricket

The former PCB chief's comments have raised concerns about the future of cricket. If the ICC is seen as being biased towards India, it could damage the sport's credibility. It could also lead to other countries boycotting ICC tournaments.

The ICC needs to take steps to address these concerns. It needs to show that it is a neutral body that is not afraid to stand up to India. If it fails to do this, it could damage the sport of cricket.
