LONDON: Former England captain Nasser Hussain has urged the International Cricket Council to apply the same standards to all teams, including India, as Pakistan maintains it will not take the field for its scheduled World Cup match against India on 15 February.
Speaking on the Sky Sports Cricket Podcast, Hussain said the real test for the ICC lay in consistency, particularly in how it dealt with countries such as Bangladesh, Pakistan and India.
He questioned whether the governing body would respond in the same way if India were to withdraw from a World Cup match on government instructions shortly before a tournament. “If it had been India, would the ICC have been so firm and said, ‘you know the rules, bad luck, we’re knocking you out’?” he asked. “That is the only thing all sides are asking for — consistency.”
