It's quite clear the extent to which BCCI and ICC go to give unfair advantage to India.
Venue selection is to ensure foreign IPL players miss out on their home grounds advantage. It's a different matter that our team is so dud that they still don't win trophies. Few other notable mentions -
1. 2021 T20 World Cup - India was the only team to not play a single match in the low scoring pitch of Sharjah. Not a single day match for India while everyone else played day matches. Most importantly giving india one week of rest post the first game, you see our players were tired of IPL.
2. 2023 T20 World Cup - the way umpires behaved during India match against Bangladesh was shameful. While it was raining , they announced the resumption time on the basis of meteorological department prediction that rains will stop in 15 mins. It never happens that resumption time is announced without rains having stopped. Curtailing of overs was helping bdesh and so icc stepped in to stop that.
Numerous such examples and this is why I want us not to win the World Cup.
