We play them in multilateral tournnaments.

 

But in this case it was a bilateral series,to be hosted by Pakistan in UAE. The ICC  designed a must play each other bilateral series for the countries and the points will be awarded on basis of  series results.

I do not understand this logic.

 

If we shouldn't play them at all, why play them in multilateral tournaments? If this money is used to finance terror, the multinational tournaments have more viewership and hence generate more money. If a bilateral series is disrespecting those martyred, a multilateral series does that too.

 

Our stance is very hypocritical here.

Money from the tournament will be shared equally and Pakistan will get its share whether we boycott or not .

And more importantly not playing in multi national tournament will harm our cricket .We look for what is beneficial for us .

This what happens when you have a crooked politician running the show.

 

He is making a fool of himself, BCCI and Indian Cricket.

If we make it clear before hand that we aren't going to play them, the ad slots wouldn't cost as much, the tele-rights wouldn't sell for as much etc. Obviously, there will be lesser money made.

If we make it just before hand only star sports income will get affected .Pakistan and other nations would recieve there share as usual as TV rights are sold years in advance .

Are u saying that we should tell to ICC , we wont play Pakistan in 2028 world cup regardless of the political situation at that time ?

I'm saying that playing them in ICC tournaments and not Bilateral tournaments is an inconsistent policy. 

 

Are you saying that we are not playing Pakistan to deprive them of $ through cricket? Or are we not playing Pakistan because it is an affront to those martyred at our borders?

We are not playing them because of PR reasons .

I am just pointing out that suggesting we pull out of a match against Pakistan in world cup (or Multi national tournaments) is only harmful to us.

It is not an inconsistent policy .It's a policy most countries use.

Bcci is absolutely right in not playing with a terrorist country.

[Malcolm Merlyn]

the justification is. India does not want PCB to make money out of us. Simple. And we set the threshold.

 

Dont you think people will expect India to be forthright and ruthless in our actions against an enemy state.  It will be well received. When there is a mandate of the people of any country, the actions of a sport board in that country to align itself will be seen with respect.

The justification is govt has suspended all bilateral cricketing ties.

Incorrect.

When India plays Pakistan in a bilateral series hosted by PCB all the money earned goes to Pakistan.

In an ICC tournament the money goes to ICC and is used in various ICC projects.Only a part of the money goes to the member boards including both India and Pakistan.

Our non participation in an ICC tournament affects ICC and all members and except Pakistan rest are friendly nations why punish them?

Lastly if we only boycott Pakistan matches then we give them free 2 points and help them.The boycott is to punish them not help them.

While the rights are sold years in advance there are in built clauses related to team participation etc.So if India withdraws the sponsors will invoke those clauses and pay far less money.

The ICC right now believes that any issues in India will be dealt by Manohar and that BCCI is too weak because of its fight with the SC to do anything.

They dont know that Manohar is overall a small fry with little political influence and that in case of Pakistan there is no question of anyone not supporting BCCI.

ICC will have hell to pay.

Sunnyji i think you are being a bit too BCCI in this case. There can exist a time when the BCCI is incorrect.

 

Mistake with BCCI for not even sending a response. End of discussion. Feel sorry for our girls.

Disagree with Indian cricket being taken for a ride. 

 

Pakistan are living in fool's paradise that India will be hurt with ICC's actions. In fact, the tables will turn soon and the victor is well known to all. 

 

Sorry to say this to all who despise Indian Cricket, BCCI, all you folks better accept that India is the powerhouse of cricket and without us, ICC will be bankrupt.

Geebz you are believing what ICC is saying.

Read the first statement by ICC they say they are sensitive to the political situation but its not an acceptable reason.Now when BCCI has reacted they are saying that we didnt get any emails.

Basically what is happening is that Manohar is shoring up support for himself by pandering to CA ECB PCB etc so that he can keep his chair at the ICC when BCCI comes for him.

If the poor PCB can survive and thrive without Indian tours so can the richer nations.

 

The BCCI can whine all it wants but the ICC have been calling India's bluff and will continue to do so.

I said that ICC won't survive an India pullout. And PCB fills its coffers through ICC mainly.

India shelling civilians is not terrorist ?

 

Your army just destroyed a bus filled with women and children.

Nobody cares one bit about your news and media. Your country is regarded as one of the dangerous countries to live in. Clean your house first before even thinking about commenting about others.
