The Indian Cricket Board has said that it fully agrees with this position of the ICC. On Monday, BCCI vice-president Rajeev Shukla said the ICC has laid out the principles of sportsmanship and sportsmanship and the BCCI supports that statement. He also said that the board will not make any separate comment on the matter until discussions are held with the ICC.

The ICC in its statement termed Pakistan’s decision as ‘selective participation’. According to the organization, if any team refuses to play a match for political reasons, it is against the basic spirit of the international tournament. At the same time, the Pakistan Cricket Board was warned that as a result, Pakistan’s position in international cricket may be damaged in the future.

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor also responded in this context. He said, it is not right to hold sports hostage. But at the same time, he feels that a wrong decision was taken at the beginning of this controversy, when Bangladeshi cricketer Mustafizur Rahman was excluded from the IPL contract.

Tharoor also said that the interference of politics in sports is unfortunate in two ways. According to him, while Bangladesh’s reaction was exaggerated, Pakistan has further complicated the situation by supporting it. He is hopeful that all the parties concerned will sit down for discussions on the initiative of ICC and the deadlock will be resolved soon.
