The upcoming ICC T20 World Cup is stirring controversy, especially regarding ticket prices for the Pakistan-India match, which have skyrocketed to a staggering $20,000. This has drawn criticism from Lalit Kumar Modi, the founder of the IPL (Indian Premier League).
Modi has accused the ICC of focusing too much on making money and has even called them a “council of crooks” for selling Diamond Club tickets at such incredibly high prices.
This issue has raised concerns about the commercial side of cricket, overshadowing the excitement building up for the tournament itself.
The ICC T20 World Cup is set to kick off on June 2 across the United States and the West Indies. The tournament will begin with a match between the USA and Canada.
One of the most anticipated matches of the tournament, the Pakistan-India clash, is scheduled for June 9 at Nassau County Cricket Stadium in New York.
The controversy surrounding ticket prices for this high-profile match reflects ongoing debates about the balance between commercial interests and the spirit of sport, affecting the anticipation and discussion leading up to the event.
