Digital Desk: Mohammad Hafeez, a former captain of Pakistan, criticized the Indian cricket board for the ICC World Cup 2023's poor planning and management, which got underway on October 5 in Ahmedabad.
A significant portion of the cricketing fraternity has been criticizing the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) for several issues surrounding the ODI World Cup, which is being hosted by India solely for the first time in its history.
Fans and cricket experts have strongly criticized the BCCI for these concerns, which include the delay in releasing tickets, to high prices of tickets, the poor condition of the stadium seats, and many schedule changes before the tournament.
Hafeez joined the bandwagon of BCCI critics by highlighting the several problems he had seen during the first week of the World Cup.
The event that the BCCI is hosting is organized by the ICC.
"Overall, we have watched 4 days of the World Cup. I have so far witnessed terrible planning and organization on the part of the organizers. The poor crowd response, in my opinion, is the second largest issue with this," he said.
"while organizing a global event, you must think internationally while making decisions. You can never make huge judgments with tiny intentions, Hafeez stated in a Pakistani cricket show with former players Rashid Latif and Basit Khan on the panel.
Hafeez also brought up the issue of the HPCA stadium's poor outfield in Dharamsala and the Indian government's refusal to grant Pakistani journalists and supporters visas.
Zaka Ashraf, the head of the Pakistan Cricket Board, and Syrus Sajjad Qazi, the foreign secretary, met on Monday to discuss the ongoing delay in the issuing of visas to Pakistani supporters and media members who want to cover the ongoing World Cup in India.
To cover the ODI extravaganza, some 60 journalists are eagerly awaiting the chance to go to India.
