Pakistan accuses India of misusing cricketing power

Pakistan media has criticized the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and Team India for allegedly misusing their influence in international cricket. Reports claim that India's recent Champions Trophy win reflects a power imbalance favoring India. Concerns arose after Jay Shah became ICC chairman and India won the tournament, which was mostly held in Pakistan but played at a neutral venue due to India's refusal to travel there. Reports highlighted issues like Pakistan's absence from broadcasts and the Indian anthem being played during matches. Critics argue that India's financial dominance, contributing 80% of ICC revenue, skews decision-making in cricket. They call for fairer practices and balanced revenue sharing to maintain the sport's credibility and global appeal.
