Former Pakistani fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar took a dig at the Cricket Control Board in India (BCCI) and Cricket Australia (CA) when he talked about economic disparity in cricket. Speaking on a YouTube chat show with Geo Cricket, Akhtar alleged that CA let incidents like the infamous Monkeygate controversy pass due to the BCCI being a financial powerhouse. The Monkeygate controversy erupted after senior Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh was charged with racially assaulting Australian all-rounder Andrew Symonds during India’s second Down Under Tour in 2008.
