Controversy, unfortunately, took care of Pakistan’s on-field performance. Mir’s remarks created displeasure, many people attempted to legalize the illegal occupation of the Indian territory of Pakistan. The ICC clearly prevents commentators from introducing political discourses during live coverage, making this commentary a clear violation of the guidelines. Cricket Purists emphasized that international tournaments should prioritize fair sports and sportsmanship above geopolitical stress.
Here’s how fans reacted:
What is hell “Azad Kashmir” @Icc @BCCI ,
You should take strict action against this Pakistani commentator and send it back from India. @Jayshah @Mithunmanhas , pic.twitter.com/cmeiqqmzgj

Whenever they get a chance, they respect cricket and India. The ICC should ban Pakistan cricket for at least 5 years. The Sana Mir controversy can never be forgotten. If this happens then it will happen nowadays. Pakistan is done with cricket.
