Inzamam-ul-Haq, the renowned Pakistani cricket figure, has intensified his critique of Indian cricket, the BCCI, and the organizing decisions surrounding the 2024 T20 World Cup. After previously voicing suspicions of ball tampering by Team India, Inzamam has now taken aim at the scheduling of India’s semi-final venue, which was predetermined before the tournament commenced.
In his criticism, he labeled this pre-decision as unjust, asserting that such advantages have never been afforded to Pakistan.
In a recent appearance on the show “Hungama” on Pakistan’s channel 24 News HD, Inzamam expressed his displeasure over the absence of a reserve day for India’s semi-final clash against England, contrasting it with other semi-final matches where reserve days are scheduled.
He alleged that this discrepancy favors India, implying a biased treatment orchestrated by tournament organizers.
Inzamam went on to argue that during Pakistan’s strong position in the Asia Cup, a reserve day was suddenly introduced for just one match, insinuating double standards in favor of India in international cricket governance.
He criticized what he perceives as India’s dominance in cricket administration, claiming that the sport is now controlled predominantly by Indian influence rather than the previously acknowledged “Big Three.”
These remarks from Inzamam-ul-Haq highlight ongoing tensions and perceptions of inequity within the cricketing world, particularly concerning the influence and decisions surrounding major tournaments involving India.
