New Delhi. ‘For me, ICC means Indian Cricket Board. India decides everything. If India says that listen no longer there should be no-balls and wides, then the ICC will find a way, ‘this is to say that of Andy Roberts of West Indies, who believe that ICC can go to any extent to benefit India. 74 -year -old Roberts has played the 1975, 1979 and 1983 World Cups.

West Indies veteran Andy Roberts strongly criticized the International Cricket Council (ICC) in a conversation with a newspaper ‘Mid-Day’. He said that all the demands of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) were accepted for the Champions Trophy 2025. The ICC tournament was hosted to Pakistan. It was made in a hybrid model when the Indian team did not go to Pakistan. India played all their matches in Dubai.

India cannot get everything…
Andy Roberts told Mid-Day that the ICC had benefited India in the Champions Trophy 2025 as well as the T20 World Cup 2024. India then knew beforehand that it would play in the semi -final Gayana. Roberts said, ‘The matter will stop going somewhere. India cannot get everything. ICC should not say India sometimes.

Michael Atherton also raised questions
Andy Roberts said that India did not have to travel at all in the Champions Trophy. How can this happen that during a tournament one team does not travel at all and other teams have to go to different countries. Earlier, England captain Michael Atherton also claimed that India got the benefit of playing all their matches in the Champions Trophy. However, many veterans like Pakistan’s Wasim Akram believe that the Indian team was so strong that it would play anywhere, it was sure to become its champion.
