KARACHI: The World Test Championship Final highlights that disproportionately highlighted chairman Jay Shah have drawn harsh criticism from the International Cricket Council for overshadowing South Africa’s historic triumph over Australia at Lord’s.
The 45-second promotional video has been widely criticized for giving the administrator more attention than the sportsmen who made the match-winning decision.
A panoramic view of the Lord’s is shown at the beginning of the contentious video, which then cuts to Shah’s imposing entrance.
The chairman made 11 appearances in the 23-shot sequence, including many close-ups of him applauding and watching, according to an analysis.
