No Pakistan Player to Be Part of Asia XI in Bangladesh T20s: BCCI

[Ankit_sharma03]

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) is set to celebrate the birth centenary of 'Bongobondhu' Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the founder of Bangladesh, by hosting two T20 matches in March between the Asia XI and the World XI.

While the ICC is said to have given the games official status, looking at the current situation between India and Pakistan, one would think that it will come to either India or Pakistan players when it comes to filling the XI names in the Asia XI team sheet.

 

Speaking to IANS, BCCI Joint Secretary Jayesh George though has made it clear that such a scenario where both India and Pakistan players play in the Asia XI wouldn't arise because the message is that there will be no Pakistan players invited.

 

"What we are aware of is that there will be no Pakistan players in the Asia XI. That is what the message is, so, there is no question of both countries coming together or picking one over the other. Sourav Ganguly will decide the five players who will be a part of the Asia XI," he said.

Things have gone from bad to worse in recent times with Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chief Ehsan Mani looking to take a dig at the Indian government and saying that the security situation in India is worse than in Pakistan and teams should ideally be happy to play in Pakistan.

 

 

"We have proved Pakistan is safe, if someone isn't coming then they should prove that it's unsafe. At this time, India is a far greater security risk than Pakistan.

"No one should now doubt security arrangements in Pakistan after successful Sri Lanka Test series. This is a turning point for revival of Test cricket in Pakistan. Media and fans played an important role in portraying positive image of Pakistan worldwide," Mani had said.

In fact, former Pakistan skipper Rashid Latif took the battle further when he dismissed BCCI President Sourav Ganguly's idea of a 4-nation series, calling it a "flop" plan.

"By playing such a series, these four countries want to isolate the other member nations, which is not good news. But I think this will be a flop idea like the Big Three model, which was introduced a few years back," Latif said in a YouTube video.

Clearly these things will be kept in mind when Ganguly does sit with his team to decide on the plan of sending players for the BCB organised matches.

It's the centenary of Mujib Ur Rahman , one of the key men behind Pakistani asswhooping of 1971. I'm pretty sure, PCB would not have sent any players for this series. And besides, there is a game scheduled in India. So, that pretty much seals it as far as their participation is concerned.

India need to send the most solid squad to show support for the great person Sheikh Mujibur Rehman.

[Gollum]

As if they would have sent players when the occasion is all about Bongobondhu. Now watch their fake tears and victim mentality on full display. Yo ICC so eviil, yo BCCI so Islamophobic, BJP=Nazi=Hindutva=Modi=Hitler=KFC=CIA=Mossad....deal with it morons. This is just the start .

Agree. Kohli, Rohit, Bumrah, Kuldeep, Rahul/Iyer should be the 5 players. 

[ShoonyaSifar]

I hope someone from BCCI says this openly. The joker who heads PCB is making anti-India political statements. All that someone from BCCI  needs to say is

1. Indian players will not play in the same team with Pakistanis

2. No Pakistani player will be picked for IPL in the future

3. Ind-Pak bilateral series cannot be played till Pakistan's pro-terror policy changes

^^^Why should they say it, they are much more cleverer than that, instead of saying anything they are just doing it.Pakistani players will not play in IPL in near future nor India will play Pakistan.Let PCB dogs bark nobody cares.

Nope. Action alone is not enough for these hara***. These shameless fools deserve the complete contempt from BCCI, both in words and action. Banish them publicly through media statements. Show them their true worth

It does not work like that in real world.You cannot issue statements like that on record and get away with it.

[Suhaan]

Padosiland players cant even compete with the unsold xi of IPL auctions let alone making the Asia XI

[Zero_Unit]

Its only fitting not to include players from a country that massacred/raped the one that's celebrating their independence/father figure of the country lol. 

 

Jokes aside, would have love to see babar and Kohli bat together.

[Khota]

It seems like PCB is not sending them. I am glad BCCI has nothing to do with it. Moreover it is not BCCI's role to decides who gets to play.

Makes sense. Yearly bonus comes from fixing PSL. No one wants to miss it.

Statement like what? That Pakistan was still unsafe to play cricket? That PCB has damaged its relationships with BCCI beyond repair through silly provocations? Or that BCCI will have nothing do with PCB in the foreseeable future?

PP bee like Yahoodi saazish, Modi, CIA, Mossad, RAW, Tiger Khan 

[Sandeep99]

Lovely news. Glad the terrorists are not part of this occasion.

Farewell match for Dhoni?
