Former top officer Neeraj Kumar has expressed alarm over the International Cricket Council (ICC) giving additional money to an organisation he feels is squandering finances.

According to Neeraj Kumar, a considerable proportion of corruption investigations performed by the ICC’s anti-corruption branch are related to India.

However, during his term as the BCCI’s anti-corruption head, Kumar noticed a lack of accountability about the millions coming into the coffers of Indian cricket.
Kumar cautioned nations like as Australia and England to be careful in their agreements owing to the limited influence on Indian players, growth, and infrastructure.

Despite the popularity of the IPL and its relationship with the increase of value in India, he believes that grassroots finance and development are still mainly dependent on private supporters.

Neeraj Kumar highlighted the lack of national cricket academies and questioned the Indian cricket authority’s attempts to nurture the sport at the grassroots level.
In his book, “A Cop In Cricket,” the former officer reflects on his time with the BCCI, portraying the Indian board as an organisation without structure and work spirit.

Neeraj Kumar emphasised the need of increasing knowledge of corruption and integrity concerns among decision-makers in the sport of cricket in order to safeguard the game.

Kumar argues that unless such knowledge is there, the cycle of controversies, personnel changes, and unchangeable patterns will continue to degrade the sport’s brand.

As Australia and India prepare for the World Test Championship at the Oval, Kumar, who played a vital part in revealing rigging incidents, cautions against unaccountable giveaways.
