ICC 'Useless,' Can't Control BCCI: Ex-Pakistan Player Saeed Ajmal Slams Cricket Body

• Former Pakistan cricketer Saeed Ajmal criticized the ICC, calling it 'useless' for its inability to control the BCCI.
• Ajmal stated that the ICC cannot enforce its decisions on powerful boards like the BCCI, especially with Jay Shah, a former BCCI secretary, as ICC President.
• He questioned Team India's refusal to tour Pakistan, calling it illogical and attributing ICC's inaction to Indian dominance.
• The India-Pakistan cricket dispute has led to India playing Champions Trophy 2025 matches at a neutral venue and Pakistan refusing to come to India for the Women's World Cup 2025.
• Future tournaments like the 2026 T20 World Cup will see Pakistan play all its matches in Sri Lanka, with potential semi-final and final venue shifts to Colombo if Pakistan qualifies.
