ECB slammed for rejecting Euro Nations Cup, fans hail BCCI's support for smaller teams
•England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) faces criticism for rejecting a Euro Nations Cup proposal, citing a "jam packed schedule."
•The proposed tournament, similar to the Asia Cup, would have benefited smaller European cricketing nations like Ireland, Scotland, Netherlands, and Italy.
•Fans are praising BCCI for actively supporting emerging nations, contrasting it with ECB's and Cricket Australia's reluctance to play smaller teams.
•BCCI's commitment is evident with India's tours to Zimbabwe and Ireland, and an upcoming series against Afghanistan, despite a busy schedule.
•Critics suggest ECB could have sent a second-string side to the Euro Nations Cup, highlighting India's role as a better global citizen in cricket.
