'One corrupt man can take away hardwork of organisation' - Venkatesh Prasad's cryptic Tweet alleging corruption goes viral

Former India fast bowler Venkatesh Prasad is quite vocal on social media these days as he’s openly criticized certain players and bashed administration bodies for favouritism. Prasad once again took an indirect dig at the cricket organising bodies as he posted a cryptic Tweet on Saturday, September 09.

In his Tweet, Prasad implied that one corrupt and arrogant guy can take away the hard work of entire organization. Prasad took to X and wrote, “It takes one corrupt, arrogant guy to take away the hardwork of an organisation that is generally non-corrupt and get a stamp of corruption on the whole leadership , not just on a micro level but at a large level.”

Prasad’s Tweet is being considered a dig at both BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) and ACC as he’s been quite vocal about the ill practices of the two organisations over the past few days.

He further asked Bangladesh Cricket Board and Sri Lanka Cricket about who pressurized them to give a nod to have a reserve day for the India-Pakistan clash.

If true this is absolute shamelessness this. The organisers have made a mockery and it is unethical to have a tournament with rules being different for the other two teams.
In the name of justice, will only be fair if it is abandoned the first day, may it rain harder on the… https://t.co/GPQGmdo1Zx

Apart from that, the 54-year-old has also lashed out at BCCI for not having transparency in the sale of tickets for the ODI World Cup 2023. Prasad has been the voice of millions of fans who’ve been facing difficulties time and again to book tickets for the mega event. The former fast bowler urged the BCCI to make the experience of fans smoother and easier so that they enjoy the home World Cup without any hassle.

I urge the @BCCI to have more transparency in the World Cup ticketing system and not take fans for granted. Definitely in a stadium like Ahmedabad, for an #IndvsPak clash more than the sold 8500 tickets need to be available when the capacity is 1 lakh + . Likewise for all other…
