Jio Takes Over ICC: India’s Dominance or Tyranny?

There is no doubt about the fact that India and the BCCI hold massive power when it comes to influencing the direction of international cricket.

But sometimes the actions of those in charge feel like there is an active push towards trying to create dominance through monopoly in global cricket.

In a highly controversial move, JioStar CEO Sanjog Gupta has been chosen as the CEO of the ICC.

This appointment has been nothing but controversial, with some social media users praising the ever-rising dominance of the BCCI, and others strongly objecting to the creation of a supposed authoritarian cricket monopoly.

This all becomes even more obvious when we consider the fact that Jay Shah is the current chairman of the ICC.

While nothing can be said with utter clarity, these kinds of moves certainly indicate a push for dominance in the ICC, and not necessarily in a healthy way.
