India controls world cricket now, says Imran Khan
Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has said that cash has turned into a 'major part' in cricket and that nations like New Zealand and England wouldn't have set out to drop their voyages through India since 'India controls' the game.
Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has said that cash has turned into a "major player" in cricket and that nations like New Zealand and England wouldn't have set out to drop their voyages through India since "India controls" the game.
The previous Pakistan captain added that "Britain let itself down" by choosing to drop the people's groups' diminutive visit through Pakistan as of late, days after the New Zealand cricket crew chose to leave their while-ball series and fly out of Pakistan refering to "security fears".
In a meeting to Middle East Eye, Imran said, "Cash is a major player now. For the players, just as for the cricket sheets. The cash lies in India, so essentially, India controls world cricket now. That is to say, they do, whatever they say goes. Nobody would try to do that to India since they realize that the aggregates in question, India can kind of deliver considerably more cash."
In the wake of the New Zealand and England cricket crews dropping their voyages through Pakistan, some Pakistan clergymen and previous cricketers have begun hauling India's name in their assertions. They are likewise purportedly accusing the Indian cricket board (BCCI) for the crossing out of their visits.
Indeed, a senior BCCI official had told IANS as of late that Pakistan has an old propensity for 'utilizing' India's name in all their 'huge or little news' that too with no evidence. "We wish Ramiz Raja (PCB boss) best of luck… Pakistan cricket arrives at new statures under him. We need to clear one thing that the BCCI plays no part in the retraction of England and New Zealand visits to Pakistan," a BCCI official had told IANS.
Imran said in his meeting that England figure they help Pakistan out by visiting the country.
"Britain let itself somewhere near (dropping the series). I imagine that there is as yet this inclination in England that they help out to play with nations like Pakistan. One reason is that, clearly, the cash," the Pakistan PM said.
Truth be told PCB boss Raja also has spoken on comparable lines, saying that, "The ICC is a politicized body split between the Asian and Western alliances and 90 percent of its incomes are created from India. It is terrifying. As it were, India's business houses are running Pakistan cricket and if tomorrow the Indian PM concludes he won't permit any subsidizing to Pakistan, this cricket board can fall."
