Former ICC match referee Chris Broad accuses global cricket body of leniency towards India
The Island
|October 29, 2025
Former ICC match referee and England cricketer Chris Broad accused the global cricket body of leniency towards India in an interview with The Telegraph published on Monday.
Chris Broad
Broad, father of former English cricketer Stuart Broad, worked as a match referee from 2003 to 2024, overseeing several India games.
In a wide-ranging interview, Broad was of the opinion that “India got all the money and have now taken over the ICC so in many ways.
“I’m pleased I’m not around because it’s a much more political position now than it ever has been,” he said, reflecting on India’s current position of dominance in the ICC.
He described having to be “lenient” with India when they were behind in an overrate match.
“India were three, four overs down at the end of a game so it constituted a fine. I got a phone call saying, ‘be lenient, find some time because it’s India’. And it’s like, right, OK. So we had to find some time, brought it down below the threshold.
