A special Women’s T20 World Cup schedule has sparked debate, with some former England stars saying one team has an advantage.
If India makes the semi-finals, they’re set to play the first one. Critics say this changes the usual knockout schedule.
Former England players Kate Cross and Alex Hartley questioned the decision, saying the schedule seems to favour India over other teams.
India’s games draw big crowds and high viewership, making this scheduling decision a major talking point.
The scheduling debate is now as big as the matches, with every ICC decision under close watch.
Some think it’s to attract India’s huge TV audience, while others say all teams should have the same knockout schedule.
The debate is growing as the tournament reaches its biggest matches. Will this controversy end or get even bigger?
