Pakistan legend Shahid Afridi has accused the ICC of 'ensuring' India make the T20 World Cup finals, following their latest victory over Bangladesh. After stumbling to defeat against South Africa, India's fate in the competition remained in the balance.
They headed into their recent clash with Bangladesh knowing victory was a must, and went on to secure the all-important win - albeit controversially. In the rain-affected match India were guided to victory by Virat Kohli but while fielding, the star was accused of 'cheating'.
Speaking after the match, Afridi said: "Given the amount of rain that happened, the [India v Bangladesh] game [still] resumed immediately after the break. It is very evident that that ICC, with India playing...there is pressure that comes with it, there are many factors involved."
