The thrilling India vs. Pakistan cricket clash that took place a mere week ago truly mesmerized fans worldwide, keeping them on the edge of their seats. Mickey Arthur, the strategic genius behind the Pakistan Cricket team, surprised the cricketing world by assertively stating that the game bore a closer resemblance to a BCCI spectacle than an ICC tournament. Danish Kaneria, a former star of Pakistani cricket, turned to social media to express his discontent.
The tension leading up to this fierce fight was palpable on both sides, as supporters eagerly awaited the thrilling face-off. However, the thrill and desire didn’t rise away with the final ball. To everyone’s surprise, the match took an unexpected turn, spawning a series of disputes that reverberated well beyond the cricket field.
Mickey Arthur, the architect behind the Pakistan Cricket team, surprised the cricketing community by boldly claiming that the match seemed more like a BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) extravaganza than an ICC (International Cricket Council) game. This bold remark served as the spark that touched off impassioned debates and fervent conversations on numerous social media and news platforms.
Adding fuel to the already simmering tensions, Zaka Ashraf, the head of the PCB (Pakistan Cricket Board), formally submitted objections to the ICC. His main concern focused on the unexpected delays in awarding visas to Pakistani journalists and loyal fans. This regrettable delay not only prevented thorough coverage of the match but also left a considerable number of spectators disheartened. Furthermore, Ashraf didn’t shy away from addressing issues of fan misconduct throughout the match, casting a shadow over the entire event.
The controversy didn’t just end with formal complaints. Danish Kaneria, a former cricketing legend from Pakistan, turned to social media to express his discontent. He posed some thought-provoking queries about the statements made by Pakistani journalist Zainab Abbas, Mickey Arthur, and cricketer Rizwan regarding India and Hinduism. Kaneria’s honest critique rekindled the ongoing debates, sparking lively discussions on numerous social media platforms.

Kaneria tweeted, “Who asked Pakistani journalist Zainab Abbas to comment against India and Hindus? Who asked Mickey Arthur to call ICC event as BCCI event? Who asked Rizwan to perform Namaz in playground? Don’t find faults in others!”
These events have left the cricketing community feeling unsettled and prompted discussions about the simmering tensions between these two cricket-playing nations.
