Cricket was a beautiful sport before Jay Shah got involved and turned it into something that only seems to favour India. If this fixing and robbery of the sport continues like this, other countries will stop participating in cricket tournaments.
🚨 NASSER HUSSAIN DROPS BOMBSHELL ON LIVE TV – CALLS OUT JAY SHAH & ICC’S SHAMEFUL BIAS.
‘The BCCI’s iron grip on the ICC is poisoning cricket. Flat, Indian-friendly pitches in a World Cup FINAL? 92 in the power play , that’s not cricket, that’s rigged! Bowlers get NOTHING while batsmen feast. This is straight-up manipulation. The spirit of the game is being murdered in plain sight. Keep this up & cricket dies, no trust left. DISGRACE..

Absolutely pointless T20 World Cup final again, normal Indian monopoly ruling over the world of cricket, one challenging pitch and the USA give them the scare of their life to its flat pitches and boring cricket for the rest of the tournament, boring and pointless 👍
I’m an Indian. I love this country. And I’m absolutely ashamed of what BCCI and this government have done to my favourite sport.
Let’s talk facts, not feelings.
Jay Shah; son of Home Minister Amit Shah, widely considered the 2nd most powerful man in India; left the BCCI Secretary post the moment he became ICC Chairman.
A man directly connected to the ruling government now runs the WORLD governing body of cricket. And nobody in Indian media dares say it out loud: this is the single biggest conflict of interest in the history of sport.
Under his watch:
➡️ Mustafizur Rahman was dumped from KKR; not for bad performance, but because India-Bangladesh relations soured. A player’s LIVELIHOOD destroyed for political signalling.
➡️ India refused to play Pakistan in Pakistan. ICC bent. Hybrid model forced. Then Bangladesh dared ask for the SAME treatment for T20 WC matches in India, and suddenly the ICC threatened THEM with warnings. One rule for India. Zero rules for everyone else.
➡️ India’s players refused to shake hands with Pakistan at the Asia Cup 2025. The ICC; the same body that bans players for “bringing the game into disrepute”, looked the other way.
Senior journalist Sharda Ugra called BCCI under Jay Shah synonymous with BJP’s increasing control over cricket. The Caravan called him “The Home Minister of the ICC.”
DW, Al Jazeera, The Telegraph, The Wire; every credible global outlet is saying what our own press is scared to print.
Cricket once brought India and Pakistan to the table. It once made enemies shake hands at the boundary. The Wire said it best; BCCI has “rendered cricket useless for the diplomatic purposes it once served.”
From Kapil Dev lifting a World Cup with zero political baggage… to THIS.
A sport reduced to a BJP foreign policy instrument.
A World Cup reduced to a BCCI boardroom negotiation.
The ICC reduced to, in Sharda Ugra’s words: “the Dubai office of the BCCI.”
I love India. I love cricket. That’s exactly WHY this makes me furious.
We didn’t deserve this, and neither did cricket.
Fix the board. Save the sport. 🏏

How many of us are aware that #Nissanka is one of the rare modern international cricketers who has scored hundreds in each formats and also a T20 WC hundred?
Also among the rare ten in World who have ODI double tons too!
💥 Boom!!! Emphatic win by @OfficialSLC led by the bowlers stepping up even with key injuries. So good to watch Pathum Nissanka dropping the hammer down to dominate the Aussie attack.
