Roger Binny, the newly appointed President of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), recently addressed a controversial statement made by former Pakistani cricketer Shahid Afridi and a Pakistani reporter who claimed that the International Cricket Council (ICC) exhibits bias in favor of India.

Afridi’s comments, which were made during an interview, sparked a significant reaction from cricket fans and officials worldwide. Binny’s response was clear, forceful, and defended India’s position while also addressing the broader context of the allegations.

In his statement, Roger Binny, a former cricketer himself and one of India’s cricketing legends, rejected the allegations of bias leveled against India by Afridi and the Pakistani journalist. Binny emphasized that the ICC operates as an independent, neutral body and that the decisions made by the council are based.

on the rules and regulations of international cricket, not any specific country’s influence. He asserted that India’s success and prominence in world cricket are the results of hard work, consistent performance, and commitment to the sport, rather than any undue advantages or biases from the ICC.

Binny’s strong response highlighted the importance of respecting the governing bodies of cricket, such as the ICC, and understanding the principles on which they function. He noted that India, as one of the most successful and influential cricketing nations, naturally draws attention due to its performances and the large cricketing fanbase. However, he made it clear that the sport itself is not controlled by any one nation, and all teams have equal opportunities to succeed on the global stage.

The controversy began when Afridi, in an interview with a Pakistani news outlet, claimed that the ICC has often shown favoritism towards India, particularly when it comes to organizing high-profile events such as the ICC World Cup and the Champions Trophy. Afridi’s comments were further amplified by a Pakistani reporter, who echoed similar sentiments, arguing that India receives preferential treatment from the ICC in terms of scheduling, broadcasting deals, and financial incentives.

In response, Roger Binny firmly stated that such allegations were baseless and rooted in a misunderstanding of how global cricket operates. He emphasized that India’s standing in world cricket is a reflection of the country’s cricketing culture.

the support it provides to the game, and the depth of talent that exists within the nation. Binny also pointed out that Pakistan, like all other nations, has every opportunity to succeed based on performance, and there is no discrimination in terms of opportunities or treatment by the ICC.

The BCCI president also expressed his belief that these types of comments, often made in the heat of the moment, do not contribute positively to the spirit of the game. Cricket, Binny said, should be a platform for nations to come together and showcase.

their talent, rather than a battleground for political or regional accusations. He called for greater unity and understanding among cricketing nations and urged players and on the growth and development of the sport rather than dwelling on unsubstantiated claims of bias.
