BCCI want to play Pak in Dubai : Requests Govt permission

India could play Pakistan in Dubai later this year if the government gives the go-ahead to the Indian cricket board. The BCCI has written to the Home Ministry, seeking permission to play Pakistan to complete their obligations under the Future Tours & Programme (FTP) agreement which was inked in 2014.

 

Earlier, when it was headed by Shashank Manohar, the BCCI wanted to host Pakistan for a short series in 2016 but did not get government clearance owing to tension between the two countries and the subsequent terror attacks on Indian soil.

 

The Indian Express has learnt that the BCCI has now approached the Home Ministry, seeking government permission. And this time, the Indian team is willing to play a series in Dubai which is the home venue of the Pakistan team.

 

The Indian board is looking at a September or November window to play Pakistan. The BCCI had reserved September for the Champions League T20 but the tournament has been discontinued. It is learnt that the BCCI wants a short series in November in Dubai before the Indian tour of South Africa.

 

“Permission has been sought from Home Ministry, we don’t know what is the government stand. Last time, tension between the two countries was at its peak. Also, there is the FTP agreement that needs to be fulfilled and that’s why the board is willing to travel to Dubai to play a series against Pakistan. Unless the government gives its nod, the BCCI cannot do anything,” a source said.

Should not play the rogue nation's team. If we give in to this, we will be seen as soft on all the terror activities sponsored by this Terror republic of Pakistan.

Hope the permission is denied.

Risk of exposing our players to bookies. Should never play bilateral games in places like uae, singapore, malaysia,  ...

[Gollum]

Already our schedule is packed, where will BCCI fit this series? Don't want to see our players tired going into the all important RSA series. 

[TheWall]

Rather play with teams like sa..oz.. eng or nz...

[speedheat]

Just no, hope the permission is denied , no more cricket with that coward terrorist nation

[Laaloo]

No please

[chewy]

Not going to happen. No cricket ties with this barbaric country

[Kerberos]

We would look like hypocrites if we play. Just no.

[Sidhoni]

Why are we initiating this now after rejecting earlier? Makes no sense.

[Lannister]

Nope. I don't understand what we are still waiting for to close all ties with that nation.

[King Tendulkar]

No

This is to fulfill the legal requirements.In case anyone sues bcci they will say that the govt. didnot allow and claim force majeure.

Want to play and beat them so badly. 

Its so unfair now when we have the team to beat them we are not playing although we played them 4-5 months after Kargil.

I agree i do want to play them so we can blank them easily and correct the overall record but sometimes some things are bigger than cricket.

We should play and beat the **** out of them. And we even have team to do the same.

Pakistani's are lucky that India didn't played with them all these years otherwise they wouldn't even have the luxury of quoting head to head record of both the teams.
