Former Pakistan cricketer, Mohammad Amir slammed the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) for disrespecting the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) amid the Asia Cup fiasco.
Amir highlighted on the BCCI’s disregard for the PCB, suggesting that the actions of their Indian counterparts undermine the value of the board and cricket in Pakistan.
"The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is being completely written off, which means it is being treated disrespectfully. It's like the cricket board, or Pakistan cricket itself, has no worth at all, and they [BCCI] are making continuous efforts to prove that," Amir said.
He emphasized the continuous efforts made by the BCCI to prove that the PCB holds no significance in their decision-making processes.

"It is being proven that whatever you do, it doesn't affect us, and it's like if you tell a child not to eat a chocolate, he will say I will eat it and will continue to say the same thing. Whenever PCB says to do this or that, BCCI comes up with various lame excuses like bad weather, the expenses are too high, security reasons," he added.
The former cricketer urged the cricketing world to prioritize the promotion of a peaceful sporting environment, regardless of the hosting country.
“There is only one model, and that is cricket. Let it stay right; whether it’s happening in Pakistan, India, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, or Bangladesh, please let it happen peacefully instead of with unnecessary stubbornness like children. If someone creates a security issue even in Pakistan, the ICC team was here four days ago; I was also there at the National Cricket Academy. PCB provided them with such hospitality.” Amir concluded.
