Mohsin Naqvi's 'Spin' Harms Pakistan Cricket, Raises Military Interference Fears

• Mohsin Naqvi, Pakistan's cricket administrator, made a 'ludicrous remark' implying military involvement in cricket decisions.
• He claimed neither he nor the government, nor Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, are intimidated by ICC or India's threats regarding the T20 World Cup.
• Naqvi's comments were a 'spin' to obscure Pakistan's U-turn on playing India, which was likely due to ICC sanctions.
• His political ambitions, fueled by proximity to the military, led to reckless threats that could have severely impacted Pakistan cricket's future.
• Pakistan's attempt to use the India match as a bargaining chip failed, with the ICC making it clear they had to play or face dire consequences.
