Afghanistan: After losing to South Africa, Afghanistan had to be out of the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup 2024. During this match, their batting was very shameful. Where this team could put only 56 runs on the board. This was the reason that the African team achieved the target very easily.

After the defeat, Afghanistan coach Jonathan Trott looked very angry. In fact, during the post-match press conference, the former England cricketer slammed the ICC and the BCCI. Not only this, he also made some very serious allegations like bias. Let's know in detail what Trott had to say.

Afghanistan coach expressed his displeasure

Afghanistan and South Africa played the first semi-final on 27 June in Trinidad. However, the pitch here did not suit the Afghan team. In fact, uneven bounce and spin was seen on the surface.

10 batsmen of Afghanistan could not even touch the double digit mark. Only one player could score 10 runs. After the defeat, the team's coach Jonathan Trott said,

"I don't want to get myself into trouble, nor will I say harsh words, but the World Cup semi-final should not have been played on this pitch. The competition should be equal for both teams. In T20 cricket, the match is equal only when runs are scored from the bat and the bowler can take wickets. Here the batsmen were playing to save themselves."

He further said in his statement,

"I am not saying that the pitch should have been completely flat or on which the ball would not spin or swing. But it was a surface where the batsmen were in danger of the ball hitting their chest if they stepped out of the crease. That should not be the case."

Did the pitch let the first semi-final down? 🤔

Changes made according to BCCI

Serious allegations are being leveled against India and BCCI in the T20 World Cup 2024 being played in America and West Indies. Actually, it is being claimed that the schedule of the semi-final matches was prepared by the ICC keeping India in mind. India had put this condition before the International Cricket Council that it would play its semi-final match in Guyana only.

Let us tell you that it rains here 20 out of 30 days. There is a 90 percent chance of rain during the India-England match. Veterans like former cricketers Michael Vaughan and Adam Gilchrist have also strongly condemned this through social media. They said that ICC events should be completely transparent. Where no one team should be favored.
