BCCI vs ICC: Aussie Players Share Their Views on Cricket's Power Structure

Australian cricketers recently shared their opinions about BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India), ICC (International Cricket Council), and Indian cricket in a fun game. The game was organized by ABC Sport, where players were asked to define these three in one word. During the session, Steve Smith and Travis Head gave their comments on the balance of power between the BCCI and the ICC, which has now become a topic of discussion.

Australia's Test captain Pat Cummins opened the game by defining all three entities in one word: "Big." His answer indicated that all three are big and influential in the cricket world.

After Cummins, the next name in the batting order was Travis Head, who has performed brilliantly against India recently. Head called the BCCI a "ruler", which clearly shows that he acknowledges BCCI's strong position in the cricketing world. At the same time, he called the ICC "second" and rated it weaker than the BCCI.

While Steve Smith made a light-hearted comment on the ICC after calling the BCCI "powerful", saying, "The ICC is not that powerful." However, laughing out loud, he quickly called it a joke and called the ICC a "leader".

Glenn Maxwell and Alex Carey also considered BCCI "powerful". At the same time, Nathan Lyon called the ICC the "boss" and described it as the highest body.

These comments of the players have once again sparked a debate on the power of BCCI and the role of ICC in cricket. BCCI's influence on cricket, financial power and organising capacity make it more influential than ICC. However, the ICC still remains the regulatory body of cricket.

The game presented a fun analysis of the politics and powers of cricket in a light-hearted way, but the opinion of the players has also raised many serious questions.
