The ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 has become the center of a new controversy. The former Pakistan Women’s skipper Sana Mir has come under fire for using the term “Azad Kashmir” during commentary about a Pakistani batter. The comment, made during a match between Pakistan and Bangladesh, has sparked outrage. The incident is particularly sensitive due to the upcoming India vs. Pakistan match on October 5th, 2025. The use of the term has been widely criticized by Indian fans and former players. The phrase carries significant political implications, especially in the context of the India-Pakistan rivalry. The incident has raised questions about responsible commentary, and the ICC may be required to take action. The BCCI is expected to address the issue, adding to the pressure on the ICC to issue a statement or take disciplinary measures.
