Mohammad Amir, a former Pakistani cricketer, was unhappy with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). He said that the board did not give the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) the attention it needed. This year, Pakistan was supposed to hold the Asia Cup, but the BCCI said that they would not go there because of political tensions between their country and Pakistan. At the same time, Pakistan said that if India did that, they would not play in the Cricket World Cup in 2023.
The PCB then suggested a hybrid plan in which Pakistan’s games would be played in Pakistan and India’s games would be played at a neutral venue. The BCCI, on the other hand, is said to have turned down the idea, and Amir has said that he is sad about the confusion.
Amir said that the PCB is being completely thrown away, which sounds like it is being treated badly. He also said that the cricket board or Pakistan cricket in general, is not worth anything and that the BCCI is always trying to show that.
“The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is being written off totally, which is a rude way to treat it. “It’s like the cricket board or Pakistan cricket has no value at all, and they [BCCI] are always trying to prove that,” Amir was quoted by Cricket Pakistan as saying.
He then said that it has been shown that whatever PCB does doesn’t affect BCCI. He also said that every time PCB tells BCCI to do something, BCCI comes up with stupid reasons like bad weather, too many costs, or security worries.
“It’s clear that whatever you do doesn’t affect us. It’s like telling a child not to eat chocolate: he’ll say, “I’ll eat it anyway,” and keep saying that. When PCB tells BCCI to do something, BCCI comes up with lame excuses like bad weather, too much money, or safety concerns,” Amir said.
Please stop being so stubborn and just let cricket happen in peace: Amir
The former Pakistan speedster then said that there is only one example, and that is cricket, and that it should be done right no matter where it is played—in Pakistan, India, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, or Bangladesh. The 31-year-old also said that people should let the game happen without being too stubborn. Additionally, he stated that if someone brought up a security concern in Pakistan, he would mention how the PCB treated the ICC team so well when they were here four days prior.
“There is only one example, and it’s cricket. Let it stay right. Whether it’s happening in Pakistan, India, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, or Bangladesh, please let it happen calmly instead of being stubborn like children. Even in Pakistan, if someone has a security problem, the ICC team was here four days ago, and I was at the National Cricket Academy. “PCB was so nice to them,” Amir said as a conclusion.
