BCCI vs PCB: War Erupts After India-Pakistan Clash – ICC Investigates Rauf, Farhan & SKY!
The India-Pakistan rivalry has just exploded beyond cricket.
After India’s 6-wicket win in the Asia Cup 2025 Super 4 match, what happened off the field has become bigger than the game itself.
Now?
It’s BCCI vs PCB.
Complaint vs Counter-Complaint.
And the ICC is investigating everyone.
Let’s break down the drama that’s shaking world cricket.
⚔️ The Two Big Incidents That Started It All
Both acts sparked outrage across India.
Fans called it insensitive, provocative, and anti-sportsmanship.
📢 BCCI Strikes First: Official Complaint Against PAK Players
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) filed a formal complaint with the ICC on Wednesday.
They cited:
- Farhan’s violent celebration
- Rauf’s military mockery gesture
- Verbal clashes with Abhishek Sharma & Shubman Gill
✅ ICC has accepted the complaint.
✅ If players deny wrongdoing in writing, a full investigation will begin under ICC Elite Panel umpire Richie Richardson.
✅ Penalties could include fines or match bans under the ICC Code of Conduct.
🔥 Farhan Shows No Regret Fuels the Fire
Instead of apologising, Sahibzada Farhan doubled down:
“We have to play aggressive cricket against India or anyone.”
His comments only made things worse.
One fan tweeted:
“Spontaneous? Then why copy terror symbols?”
Another said:
“If this is aggression, we’d rather win quietly.”
💣 PCB Fires Back: Complaint Against Suryakumar Yadav
Not to be outdone, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) filed its own official complaint this time against Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav.
Why?
Because after India’s group-stage win, SKY said:
“This victory is dedicated to our brave soldiers and victims of the Pahalgam terror attack.”
PCB claims these remarks were political and violated the spirit of sport.
✅ ICC match referee Richie Richardson has sought SKY’s explanation.
✅ If proven guilty, SKY could face sanctions, even a ban, before the final.
Is this justice?
Or revenge?
🔄 Timeline: How the War Escalated
🧨 Mohsin Naqvi’s Indirect Support Goes Viral
PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi posted a slow-motion video of Cristiano Ronaldo making the same aircraft-down gesture during a football match.
No caption.
No comment.
But the message was clear.
Fans reacted:
“So now terrorism is a meme?” “If Ronaldo did it, does that make it okay?”
“This isn’t support. It’s encouragement.”
⚖️ What Happens Next?
Experts warn:
“When politics enters cricket, everyone loses.”
Final Thoughts: Cricket Is Losing
This wasn’t just a match.
It was a battlefield of egos.
India won on the field.
Pakistan responded with gestures.
Now, both boards are throwing complaints like grenades.
At this rate, the Asia Cup final won’t be about cricket.
It’ll be about damage control.
As one neutral fan said:
“We came for sixes. We got symbols.”
Let’s bring back the spirit of the game before there’s nothing left to save.
