Re: World Cricket

The way that Indian money has been allowed to skew this competition is disgraceful.

‘India have known for months their semi-final would be in Guyana, because it has a 10.30am start time, suiting the Asian broadcasters who prop up the game financially, whereas Trinidad is a night game. They have been able to plan for conditions from the start. After all, it is even explicitly written into the playing regulations that a different set of rules apply to India regarding the semi-final under article 16.10.6: “NOTE: If India qualifies for the semi-finals, they will play in the second semi-final scheduled for Guyana on the 27 June 2024.’

There was a reserve day scheduled for the first semi final but none for the second. This means if it is totally washed out India go through as group winners.
