Pakistan's team was on the verge of being eliminated from the tournament after losing the first two matches of the T20 World Cup. However, after defeating Canada, there was hope of progressing. If the US team had also lost to Ireland after losing to India, Pakistan would have had a chance to go to the Super-8, but rain spoiled the whole game.

Since then, many veteran players have been questioning the ICC's preparations. After the India-Canada match was cancelled, former cricketer and commentator Navjot Singh Sidhu revealed that on the day of the US-Ireland match, the petrol of the Super Sopper had run out, due to which the ground could not be dried properly and the match was cancelled.

Rain became a headache in T20 World Cup

Rain became a headache for many teams in the T20 World Cup. Due to this, Sri Lanka and Pakistan suffered losses. On the other hand, England's team narrowly escaped elimination.

That is why many veterans are angry with the ICC. They believe that rain should not affect any team. According to Navjot Singh Sidhu, the ICC should ensure that the decision of a team's progress in the tournament should be based on ability and not on the weather. He exposed the ICC's preparations after Pakistan's elimination and said that on the day of the Ireland-USA match, the Super Sopper machine ran out of petrol. This caused a lot of delay, and later the match was cancelled due to rain again.

Sunil Gavaskar also raised questions on ICC

India's legendary cricketer Sunil Gavaskar also raised many questions on ICC. Two matches have been cancelled in Florida so far. He said that the entire ground was not covered during the rain.

The groundsman had covered only the pitch and 30 yards area. Due to this, the ground remained wet even after the rain stopped. Gavaskar criticized ICC for this. He said that ICC should not organize matches in any such stadium, there is no arrangement to cover the entire ground. According to Gavaskar, only 30 yards area cannot be covered and the rest of the ground cannot be left open. This affects the game.
