In a recent interview Hasan Raza criticized the ICC and BCCI for favoring the Indian bowlers and asked if the umpires are changing the balls in the innings as India begins to bowl against the opponents.
Raza blamed the ICC, BCCI, the on field umpires and the third umpire for giving the bowlers some different ball during their innings.

Hasan Raza accuses ICC of manipulation and favouring Indian bowlers
“We are not able to understand batsmen playing against other teams but whenever India begins their bowling, bowlers like Shami and Siraj look like when we used to play Allan Donald and Makhaya Ntini in South Africa. There used to be a shine on the ball on one side and there it used to seam and swing”, said Hasan Raza to a Pakistan news channel.
“Here I think even the ball is getting changed in the second innings. The way ICC is giving these balls, or maybe the third umpire or BCCI is giving…I think these balls should be inspected,” he added.
Aakash Chopra gave a hilarious response to Raza’s claims and tweeted,“Is it a serious cricket show? If not, please mention ‘satire’ ‘comedy’ in English somewhere. I mean…it might be written in Urdu already but unfortunately, I can’t read/understand it.”
