NZ Media Blasts BCCI, Calls Niranjan Shah 'A Travelling Goon'

This was in the coming. Anyone who believed otherwise either belonged to the BCCI or had turned a blind eye to the growing dissent against the BCCI’s authoritative rule overriding the ICC’s wishes even.
Hospitality is something that can be understated. But over staying one’s welcome was never appreciated. The BCCI has been on the New Zealand cricket board’s tail even since team India landed in New Zealand. More often than not, the two did not see eye to eye on the BCCI’s stance to treat all ICL players as untouchables.
It is one thing to employ one’s own farcical rules in one’s own land, but to go as guests and dictate how their country must be run is one of not only diplomacy but also, of relevant discussion of is it truly worth it.
Apparently not.
The BCCI is fast losing fans and certainly has not made any new ones in New Zealand. Their demands, not requests, have not been met with kindness and predictably so. New Zealand is too proud of its cricketers apparently to disown them because some of them decided to earn their wages in a parallel dimension.
This had led to much acrimony between the two boards and now Dylan Cleaver of the New Zealand Herald as described Niranjan Shah as a “travelling goon” and team India as “India great team, shame about the Board they are representing.”
This is far from the image the BCCI would want to cultivate but its irrational and even monopolistic stand against a set up that in no way rivals their body in might or wealth has called for ridicule instead of respect.
