The official asserted that Mani should focus on improving the cricketing relations between the two arch-rival countries instead of widening the “gulf between them”. The BCCI member further slammed the PCB chief, saying that the Indian government have already made their stance “crystal clear” and all concerned parties should be aware of it. The BCCI official was of the opinion that Ehsan Mani is either “desperately looking for a way out of his team playing in the T20 World Cup 2021” or he is simply trying to attract “some constituency back home”.Īlso Read | Chris Gayle Reacts To Imran Khan Being Pakistan's PM, PBKS Batsman Leaves Fans Amused According to the official, the PCB chief gave a very “immature” statement considering his status in the cricketing world. The official even claimed that Ehsan Mani is a “gentleman” who has been a “guide” for Sourav Ganguly during the pandemic. The official added, “It was surprising to read Mani’s comments, especially in the background of his working relationship with BCCI President Sourav Ganguly at the ICC”. While speaking with ANI, a BCCI official said that Ehsan Mani’s comments were “immature” because the Indian government have already given their clear stance on issuing visas to visiting players for sporting events in the country. "Can the PCB give an assurance in writing that the Pakistan government would ensure that no illegal incursions into India takes place from the Pakistani side or that there's no violation of the cease-fire or that no act of terror takes place on Indian soil originating in Pakistan or that no repeat of Pulwama type incident takes place?" an unnamed BCCI official told IANS.CONFIRMED: The next edition of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup will be held in India, while Australia will stage the tournament in 2022! /lcFzo4HK7NĪlso Read | Pakistan Attacks India's Win Over England Imran Khan's PTI Endorses Vaughan's Pitch Jibe BCCI official slams PCB chief Ehsan Mani over T20 World Cup 2021 visa guarantees The official further added that the PCB should provide a written guarantee that there will be no hostility at the border before asking for visa assurance from the Indian board.
All I would say is that India is a wonderful country and acts in the most balanced way." It's time the PCB realises that and stops acting like an agent for an individual in the ICC who is known to work against the interest of India. "The ICC mandates that there should be no interference of governments in the administration of the game and the corollary would be that a sports board doesn't attempt to interfere with how a government functions. This also implies that cricket boards around the world should not interfere in the functioning of governments.
Speaking to IANS, a BCCI official said that the ICC rules very clearly state that there must be no governmental interference in the running of the game. Khan also added that in the past many Pakistani squads for various sports were not given clearance by the Indian government to play in India, which has prompted this demand. PCB's demand “We are also looking at the fact that the ICC World Cups are to be hosted in India in 20 and we have already asked the ICC to give us written assurances from BCCI that we will not face any problems getting visas and clearance to play in India,” Khan said in an interview on the Youtube Channel ‘Cricket Baaz’.
The BCCI official, in turn, demanded that the PCB should give a guarantee that the Pakistan government will stop terror attacks on Indian soil. Following the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chief executive Wasim Khan's demand for a written assurance from the ICC that the Pakistan cricket team will not face any visa related issues from the Indian government for the T20 World Cup in 2021 and the ODI World Cup in 2023 set to be played in India, a BCCI official has lashed out at the PCB for meddling in the running of the government.
