Although there have been many controversial matches in the history of cricket till date, but the final match of the ODI World Cup 2023 was the only match that forced the ICC to change its rules. The final of the 2023 World Cup was played between England and New Zealand, where hosts England defeated the Kiwis by 0 runs. Now the first question that must have come to your mind is how can a team win or lose by 0 runs? So for your information, all this happened because of the controversial rule of ICC. After this tournament, ICC had to change this rule. Let us tell you what happened in that match. This was the situation of 2019 ODI World Cup In fact, in that match, New Zealand batted first and scored 241 runs in the stipulated 50 overs. Henry Nicholls was the only Kiwi batsman who managed to cross the 50-run mark, he scored 55 runs in 77 balls. England, who came out to chase this score, at one point lost 4 wickets for 86 runs in the form of Jason Roy, Joe Root, Johnny Bairstow and Eoin Morgan. After this, Ben Stokes and Jos Butler made a 110-run partnership for the 5th wicket and brought England back into the match. In the 45th over, Lockie Ferguson brought New Zealand back into the match by dismissing Butler on a personal score of 59. In the last over, England needed 15 runs to win and had two wickets in hand. Trent Bolt did not give any runs on the first two balls of the last over, so the pressure was increasing on England. Stokes kept his team alive in the match by hitting a six towards mid-wicket on the third ball. On the fourth ball, something happened which no one could believe. Stokes tried to take two runs by playing a shot towards deep mid-wicket, Martin Guptill who was present there tried to make a direct throw which hit Stokes’ bat and went straight across the boundary. The umpire gave a total of 6 runs on this ball (2 runs by running and 4 boundaries). There again the match seemed to be going in England’s favour. However, New Zealand still did not give up. Bolt bowled a wide yorker on the fifth ball on which Stokes wanted to take two runs, but Adil Rashid standing at the non-striker’s end got out. The situation on the last ball was such that England needed 2 runs to win and New Zealand was one wicket away from victory. A similar scene was seen on the last ball as well. Stokes wanted to take two runs by playing lightly, but Mark Wood, who came at the non-striker’s end, could not reach the crease in time and the match was tied and went into the over. England became champion…

“We were ahead of England and suddenly…” Mitchell Starc made these allegations against ICC and his own team
Australian fast bowler Mitchell Starc said in an interview to Sydney Morning Herald, ‘The team management had shown confidence in Ashton Agar because the spinners had performed well in the last match on this ground. But Afghanistan’s batsmen played the spin bowling well. They understood the situation. Meanwhile, we made some mistakes, for which we had to suffer the consequences.’ ICC did not make proper arrangements – Mitchell Starc by Mitchell Starc Along with the team management, he has also targeted the ICC. In this tournament, some matches were played during the day and some at night. Therefore, Mitchell Starc has expressed his displeasure over the schedule of the tournament. Mitchell Starc said- “In the group stage, we were ahead of England and suddenly we came in the second group. We had to play 2 matches at night and the third match in the day. So we could not prepare fully. We did not get enough time to prepare for the match. Our flight was late and the airport was one and a half hours away from the hotel. Then the very next day we had to go to the field to play the match.”

“It is moving towards danger….” Andy Flower made a statement against ICC, said cricket will end
Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) head coach Andy Flower believes the International Cricket Council (ICC) is taking things for granted by hosting the T20 World Cup every two years. Andy Flowers (Photo by Nathan Stirk/Getty Images) Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) head coach Andy Flower believes that the International Cricket Council (ICC) is stepping towards danger by hosting the T20 World Cup every two years. He believes that if this continues, the T20 World Cup will become a normal tournament. Along with this, this mega tournament will not get the importance and respect like the ODI World Cup held once in four years. According to a survey conducted by the World Cricketers Association (WCA), the number of cricketers who consider the T20 World Cup as the “most important” ICC event has increased from 15 per cent in 2019 to 35 per cent in 2024. In the survey, 30 per cent of the cricketers, who were from Australia, England, New Zealand, South Africa, Bangladesh and West Indies, also chose T20 as the most important format. When Flower was told about the survey, he said he was “astonished”— He told the Times of India, “I am surprised. I think the 50-over World Cup is important because it is played every four years. I think cricket is in danger if we have a T20 World Cup every two years… it will become commonplace. I don’t want anything called a ‘World Cup’ to become commonplace. I like the rarity of the World Cup.” However, Andy Flower definitely admitted that T20 cricket has a big role to play in making cricket famous all over the world. Teams like Afghanistan and USA reaching the semi-finals and Super 8 is a symbol of this. Along with this, many players are emerging from the franchise league tournament started across the country. Along with this, this cricket match is becoming very exciting and tough. It can be said that the level of competition has increased a lot.

“Flight delayed for 4 hours, did not get a chance to practice”- Is ICC responsible for Afghan team’s defeat in the semi-finals?
Afghanistan suffered a crushing defeat by 9 wickets in the first semi-final match. Afghanistan Cricket Team (Photo Source: X) Afghanistan had to face defeat by 9 wickets against South Africa in the first semi-final match of the T20 World Cup 2024. In this match, the culprits for Afghanistan’s defeat were their batsmen, as the team was all out for 56 runs. However, the real reason behind this was something else, which was mentioned by former great England cricketer Michael Vaughan as soon as the match started. Vaughan had posted on social media that Afghanistan’s team could lose due to two reasons. This is what happened. After Afghanistan’s defeat, Michael Vaughan’s tweet is going viral like fire. Fans are also giving their reactions on that tweet. Michael Vaughan tweeted before the first semi-final match In fact, before the Afghanistan vs South Africa semi-final match, Michael Vaughan had posted a post and wrote, “So Afghanistan qualified for the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup 2024 in St Vincent on Monday night. Their flight to Trinidad was delayed by 4 hours. So they did not get time to practice nor could they get used to the new place. I am afraid there is a complete lack of respect for the players.” In this way, he has targeted the ICC without naming it, because the schedule is made by the ICC. Let us tell you that earlier Rohit Sharma had also given his opinion about the schedule made by the ICC. So Afghanistan qualify for the WC semi winning in St Vincent on Monday night .. 4 hr flight delay on Tues to Trinidad so no time to practice or get accustomed to a new venue .. utter lack of respect to players i am afraid .. #T20WorldCup2024 — Michael Vaughan (@MichaelVaughan) June 27, 2024 After the last match against Bangladesh, Afghanistan had to catch a flight in the afternoon, but the flight was four hours late. So the flight arrived late at night and they did not get time to practice. The next day they had to play in the semi-final match and this proved to be costly for the team. You will remember that many teams had raised questions on the schedule even at the beginning of the tournament. In this way, if it is said that the reason behind this poor performance of Afghanistan is the schedule of ICC, then it will not be wrong.
