Inzamam’s criticism against Indian cricket is not his first; he also accused the squad of ball tampering during the 2024 T20 World Cup.
Inzamam-ul-Haq, Pakistan’s cricket legend, has unleashed another stinging attack on Indian cricket, the BCCI, and the 2024 T20 World Cup schedule. After voicing concerns about probable ball tampering by Team India, Inzamam has now questioned the World Cup schedule, which predetermined India’s semi-final venue before the event began. Inzamam claimed it was an injustice and that Pakistan had never received such benefits. Inzamam retaliated, claiming that the lack of a reserve day for India’s semi-final was also pre-planned to benefit India.
Inzamam stated on Hungama, a show on Pakistan’s 24 News HD channel, that only the India-England game did not have a reserve day. That is because India has won all of their games and would go to the final if the game is called off.”
“There are different rules for each match!” Inzamam exclaimed.
“When Pakistan were in a strong position in the Asia Cup, we suddenly had a reserve day for just one match,” he stated, implying that India gets a favorable environment every time.
“India is currently so powerful that even England is helpless against them. “A single force controls cricket,” Inzamam remarked.
“It is not the Big Three anymore, it’s the Big One,” said he.
Arshdeep Singh was able to produce reverse swing as early as the 15th over, which led Inzamam to earlier speculate that India might have tampered with the ball during their Super 8 match against Australia. Strongly disputing the claims, India skipper Rohit Sharma urged Inzamam to keep a “open mind” about the situation.
