New Delhi. Now only a few days are left for the T20 World Cup to start. This tournament will start as soon as the first date of next month arrives. India will start its campaign against Ireland on June 5. After this, there will be a match between India and Pakistan on June 9, for which cricket fans all over the world wait. The ticket price of this match has crossed Rs 16.60 lakh, due to which many cricket fans are very angry. Lalit Modi, the first chairman of IPL, has also slammed ICC for this.
Lalit Modi wrote on social media X, ‘I am shocked to know that ICC is selling a Diamond Club ticket for India-Pakistan match for 20 thousand dollars (about 16.60 lakh rupees). The reason for organizing the World Cup in America is to expand cricket and make new fans, not to earn money from gate collection. This is not cricket at all.’
Let us tell you that the bilateral series between India and Pakistan has been stopped for more than a decade. Due to this, the Indian and Pakistani cricket teams compete only in tournaments like ICC World Cup or Asia Cup. And this is why cricket fans are eager to see the clash between these two teams.
There have been allegations of tickets for the India-Pakistan match of the T20 World Cup being sold in black. There are allegations that these tickets are being sold for more than the fixed price. But the ICC has not reacted to such allegations.
