Mitchell McClenaghan criticises the charges of ICC favouritism made by an ex-Pak cricketer, saying, “He realises everyone picks from the same box of balls after the toss.”

Amidst the present ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup, Mitchell McClenaghan, a cricket player from New Zealand, responded cleverly to Hasan Raza, a former cricket player from Pakistan, who had made fun of the umpires, the International Cricket Council (ICC), and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).

Raza claimed that the umpires, BCCI, and ICC are showing partiality towards the Indian side throughout the current competition. In addition to requesting an investigation into the situation, the former cricket player claimed that the ball seams and swings quite easily when the Men in Blue start bowling.

It’s interesting that the ball acts regularly for India when they are batting, but it seams and swings when they bowl. Additionally, India has benefited from a few DRS rulings. I have no idea if the BCCI, the ICC, or the middle umpires are assisting with this,” Raza remarked.

Raza was addressed by former pacer Mitchell McClenaghan, who said that if he is not kidding, then his mental condition needs to be checked.

“Hey, is this really happening? If this isn’t satire, I think there should be a thorough investigation into his mental health,” the Kiwi said on X. “He realizes everyone picks from the same box of balls after the toss lol.”
