Pakistanis seem to increasingly dislike the financial investments of Indians in world cricket.
Whether its the ICC broadcast deal or Indian ownership of franchisee leagues, pakistanis seem to have issues with it and have a negative attitude towards it.
Pakistanis seem to dislike the fact that Indians via their financial strength control a large part of the Cricket ecosystem. Ofcourse India being a hated rival and the overall Indo Pakistan dynamic has a big role to play in this.
But what stops pakistan from owning a part of the world Cricket ecosystem? Pakistanis have been very reluctant to invest big money in cricket. Even PSL salary caps are lagging behind SA20 and ILT20.
One would think that the British pakistani community or pakistani expat community would show interest in major foreign franchisee leagues. But no. Except the odd bid in the now defunct GLT20 of SA, Pakistanis have been conspicuous by their absence.
Even the Hundred league saw no bids by any pakistani or Pakistani led consortium.
All this while Indians have been investing hundreds of millions in global Cricket ecosystem. And this seems to have caused Pakistanis significant heart burn.
Pakistanis won't invest and has problems with ones investing. That's not how the world runs.
