ICC responds to Mickey Arthur's 'BCCI event' comment after India vs Pakistan ODI World Cup 2023 game

After Pakistan team director Mickey Arthur said that the atmosphere inside the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad for the India vs Pakistan ODI World Cup 2023 clash seemed like a BCCI event, the International Cricket Council (ICC) has finally responded.

According to a report in ESPNCricinfo, ICC chairman Greg Barclay said, 'Every event that we have, there's always criticisms from various quarters.'

'Things that perhaps we'll take away and try to work on, try to do better. We will just take it as it plays out, get to the end of the event. I'm satisfied that it will still be an outstanding World Cup,' he concluded.

After India thrashed Pakistan in the World Cup game, Arthur had said, 'It didn't seem like an ICC event to be brutally honest. It seemed like a bilateral series; it seemed like a BCCI event. I didn't hear 'Dil Dil Pakistan' coming through the microphones too often tonight.'
