I don’t know if this year’s Asia Cup will be noticed for the quality of the game, but it has already been in the news due to the controversies outside the field. As usual, India and Pakistan are leading in the war of words. It has been proven time and time again that cricket is not just a game for both countries.
A new controversy has also come across the border. Abdu Rehman, the former Pakistani player who never wasted an opportunity to make fun of the Indian players and the cricket board, started new controversies.
The star was angered by India’s questioning of the ICC’s decision to grant the Asia Cup venue to Pakistan.
The reason for the new problems was that the International Cricket Council (ICC) was referred to as the Indian Cricket Council. The actor spoke in support of the anchor’s remarks during the podcast with Abdu Rahman.
The BCCI had announced that India would withdraw from the competition if Pakistan was chosen as the venue for the Asia Cup. Abdu Rahman criticized this. He said that most of the heads of ICC and ACC (Asian Cricket Council) are Indians.
Most of the people in ICC and ACC are Indians. About 70 percent of the funds are provided by the Indian Cricket Board. If India wants to change the Asia Cup, we will have to do it anyway.
Rumors that Pakistan will not send the team if the match is shifted to Dubai are in vain. Let’s just play. We have to answer through the game,’ Abdu Rahman said.
India has been demanding a change of venue from Pakistan since the beginning. India made such a demand before the ICC citing security reasons.
Against this, former players and cricket fans of both the countries have frequent arguments on social media.
