The International Cricket Council (ICC) has often been accused of favoring the Indian cricket team. Is this true? Opinions may vary, but former England captain Michael Vaughan agrees with the accusation. He believes it’s unfair to other teams and claims that the ICC has organized the event to benefit India in the T20 World Cup 2024.
“Surely this semi-final should have been the one in Guyana, but because the whole event is set up to favor India, it’s unfair to the other teams,” Michael Vaughan tweeted during the South Africa-Afghanistan semi-final match.
Michael Vaughan has also pointed out how India has not played a single day-night game. According to him, this was done to suit the Indian timings and viewership.
Given their form, India starts as overwhelming favorites against England in the second semi-final at Guyana. The match takes place on June 27 at 8:00 PM.
These comments have sparked a debate among cricket fans and experts alike. Some argue that the ICC’s decisions favor India, citing the scheduling and match timings as clear evidence. Others believe these accusations are baseless and stem from frustration over India’s recent dominance in international cricket.
Regardless of where one stands on this issue, it’s undeniable that the discussion brings to light the significant influence India has in the cricketing world, both on and off the field. As the semi-final approaches, all eyes will be on the match, not just for the cricketing action, but also to see how these controversies unfold.
