BCCI Turns Down ICC; India Won't Play Cricket In Pakistan
India's cricket board said no to the International Cricket Council's request to play cricket in Pakistan. And hilariously, Twitter went after BCCI Secretary Jay Shah.
The BCCI cited security concerns for its decision, saying it would not be able to guarantee the safety of its players and staff in Pakistan. The ICC had proposed that India play a series of matches in Pakistan in 2023, but the BCCI rejected the offer.
The BCCI's decision has been met with mixed reactions. Some have praised the board for putting the safety of its players first, while others have criticized it for being too cautious. The ICC has expressed its disappointment with the BCCI's decision, but it has said that it respects the board's decision.
The BCCI's decision has also sparked a lot of discussion on social media, with many users creating memes and jokes about the situation. Some users have even trolled BCCI Secretary Jay Shah, who is the son of India's Home Minister Amit Shah.
Here are some of the funniest memes and trolls about the BCCI's decision:
- * "Jay Shah be like: 'We can't play in Pakistan because it's not safe. But it's perfectly safe for us to play in Kashmir.'"
- "Jay Shah: 'We won't play in Pakistan because we don't want our players to get killed. Also Jay Shah: 'We'll play in Kashmir, where there's a genocide going on.'"
- "Jay Shah: 'We can't play in Pakistan because of security concerns. But we can play in Afghanistan, where there's a war going on.'"
The BCCI's decision not to play cricket in Pakistan is a significant development, and it is likely to have a major impact on the future of cricket in the region. It remains to be seen how the ICC will respond to the BCCI's decision, and whether it will be able to convince the board to change its mind.
