At a time when the Bangladesh cricket team is being showered with praises for its convincing win in the first ODI against India, former Pakistan cricketer Sarfraz Nawaz sees a ‘big plot’ behind the victory. The Tigers have almost confirmed their ticket to the 2017 Champions Trophy with Thursday’s 79-run win that gave them a 1-0 lead in the three-match series, taking the cricket world by storm. Nawaz suspects India lost the match intentionally to ensure Pakistan do not get a place in the next Champions Trophy to be held in England and Wales. Asked in a TV show if Bangladesh were smarter than before to win against India following a 3-0 ODI series sweep against Pakistan a month ago, he said, “No No... there must be a conspiracy. Because India never want Pakistan in the Champions Trophy.” The video of the programme is getting viral in the social media One Shahidul Islam Rajib shared the video on Facebook and termed it as ‘a groundbreaking discovery by Sarfraz Nawaz’. Bangladesh surged past West Indies to the seventh position in ICC ODI ranking, closing in on the possibility of playing the Champions Trophy of top eight ODI teams.
