BCCI Secretary Lashes Out at Himachal CM for Indo-Pak T20 Fiasco
Is Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh to blame for Pakistan’s demand to relocate the fixture?
BCCI secretary Anurag Thakur today blamed the Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh for creating an atmosphere of doubt over the India-Pakistan clash scheduled to be held in Dharamsala on March 19
Thakur’s tirade against the Chief Minister comes a day after Pakistan Cricket Board put its team departure on hold following security concerns in the hill station. The PCB now wants the match to be played elsewhere in India.
“After the directive of the court, the CM saying that atmosphere is not good (in the state), raises a question mark. When you say the match can’t take place nine days before the tournament (World T20), I don’t think any CM of other states would make a statement like that,” Thakur, who also heads Himachal cricket and is a BJP MP, said.
