How Australian cricketers Pat Cummins, Steve Smith, Travis Head and others described BCCI and ICC: Watch

Amid the rising tension between India and Australia in the lead-up to the fourth Test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series in Melbourne, an Australian media channel shared a clip of a bizarre game involving some big-name local players, including Pat Cummins, Steve Smith, Nathan Lyon, Travis Head. The left-handed batter, who was the Player of Match in Australia win in Adelaide against India earlier this month, called BCCI “rulers,” and labelled ICC as “second.” Glenn Maxwell, Alex Carey and Steve Smith chose to describe the Indian cricket body as “powerful,” but the the former two, along with Nathan Lyon called ICC as “boss,” the former No. 1 ranked Test batter took a cheeky dig at the BCCI as he called ICC “not as powerful.” Smith then burst into laughter and quickly backtracked on his response saying, “No, no I can't say that. The senior Australian opener too was part of the game, where he was asked about ICC, but Khawaja remained silent, then put on a smile and said, “pass.” To understand the reason behind Khawaja's reply, one has to go back to the build-up to the Boxing Day Test last year against Pakistan.
