Pakistan cricket at Modi's mercy!

Newly appointed Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Ramiz Raja made an interesting statement when he tried to brief the media after the selection of Pakistan team for the T20 World Cup. His statement came to know the reality of the gentleman game in Pakistan. He said that 50% of PCB is run on ICC funding. 90% of ICC is run on BCCI funding. So the BCCI is running the PCB. In this way, PCB Chairman say thanks to India. Pakistan has talent but it doesn't have money to play cricket. Pakistan's economy is sinking and it relay mostly on loans from others.



Pakistan is very much active for the T20 World Cup. But all the cricketing infrastructure, training camps, support staff and their salaries paid with Indian money not with Pakistan rupee. Rameez Raja said that ICC distributes funds to all it's member nations for the development of cricket. 90% of ICC get money from BCCI that means Indian business houses are sustaining Pakistan cricket. Ramiz has bluntly said if the Indian Prime Minister stops the funds Pakistan cricket could collapse. It is very interesting that a former cricketer of Pakistan made this statement as PCB Chairman when another former cricketer was ruling Pakistan. Both India and Pakistan are the cricket crazy nations in the Indian sub-continent.



The match between arch rivals would create tensions whether they played at Karachi, Kolkata and Sharjah. India is a cricketing super power which is single-handedly expanding the gentleman game. But Pakistan is running out of cash to sustain cricket. Adding to that, other nations refusing to visit Pakistan is nothing self-inflicted disaster. World cricket abandoned Pakistan because the country is not safe for playing cricket. Obviously, the blame goes to Pakistani governments and for their approach of sponsering terrorism. Why did the Kiwis and English teams refuse to play cricket in Pakistan? World cricket can't forget what happened at Gadaphi Stadium when Sri Lanka visited Pakistan in 2009. It is in Pakistan's hands to revive the glory of cricket in the country.

Who killed cricket in Pakistan?

Pakistan won the 1992 WC under the leadership of one of the greatest all-rounders in the world Imran Khan. Now, he is leading the country as Prime Minister of Pakistan. Every cricket lover in the country wants to see the glory in the gentleman game after Imran became PM for Pakistan. But his leadership can’t give any assurance to other nations to play the game in Pakistan. New Zealand abandoned the historic Pakistan tour just a few minutes after the first ball was to be bowled in the first ODI in Rawalpindi. Both teams have considered this series as preparation for the ICC T20 World Cup. Kiwis cites ‘Security threat’ to its players in Pakistan. There is a question that arises why NZ came and cancelled the visit. This is a massive blow to Pakistan cricket who wants to revive the game in the country. Prime Minister Imran Khan had spoken to New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and informed her about the security arrangements. Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) fumes over Black Caps decisio...
