South African spinner Simon Harmer made a big claim and said that the control button of the International Cricket Council (ICC) is with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). Simply put, ICC does all the work on the instructions of BCCI. Along with this, Harmer told how this story can be changed. Let us tell you that last year Africa had won the title of World Test Championship by defeating Australia in the final.

Simon believes that India’s commercial and administrative strength will enable them to decide the direction of the game. Harmer also told what can be done about this as a player.

ICC follows the instructions of BCCI

Speaking to The Guardian, Signum Harmer said, “They have power because of commercial power. ICC is controlled by BCCI. But what can you do? As a player, you can only control those things which are controllable. The only thing that can change the story is winning the trophy.”

Played test against India last year
