Inzamam ul Haq, a famous cricketer from Pakistan, is upset with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) because of a current problem during the Champions Trophy. He wants other cricket boards to team up and stop sending their players to the Indian Premier League (IPL).
This situation began when English cricket legends Nasser Hussain and Mike Atherton said that India has a big advantage in the tournament. They pointed out that the Indian team is playing all its matches in one city—Dubai—because the Indian government wouldn’t let them travel to Pakistan due to political and safety issues.
Inzamam argued that Indian players cannot play in foreign leagues, while players from other countries can participate in the IPL. He said, “If India doesn’t let its players join other leagues, why should other boards send their players to the IPL?”
The controversy grew when Australia and South Africa went to Dubai to prepare for a potential semifinal match against India. The semifinal match between India and New Zealand is coming up, and the winner will face either Australia or South Africa. One of those teams will have to fly back to Pakistan because of the match setup.
