Should Kohli and Rohit be banned if the 5th test is deemed forfeited by ICC?

[zen]

Current status is that the series is undecided. Both ECB v BCCI are doing their respective duties. 

The situation arose because some Indian players refused to play citing COVID concerns (discussed on a different thread).

 

If the 5th test is either forfeited (or even rescheduled if we want to go there too), should BCCI ban Kohli and Rohit, the two key instigators in tests? BCCI cannot be a toothless organization, trying to sweep matters under the carpet for the players.

Should Jay Shah and the state of Gujarat be fined for his terrible reading of the teleprompter in announcing the Indian squad for the T20 WC?

Should tax revenue from restaurants in Gujarat selling "bombe" fast food be sent to Maharashtra, and the tax collections from "Itlee-dhonsaa" restaurants sent to Tamil Nadu to penalize them for their atrocious pronunciations?

Should "pravaasi Bhartiya" of Canadian residency have to pay extra visa fees when visiting India, as a penalty for inflicting Trudeau and his 'bollywood' outfits on the unsuspecting innocent Indians?

Match got cancelled due to Covid break in Indian contingent, so, India wins the series 2-1 in accordance with the clause and agreement between the two sides.

Dude, they actually made all players reach IPL early. BCCI will give them Shah-Ganguly Ratna or something

Someone reported this thread to moderators.  I don't want to violate their privacy, but just a word of advice.  When you find a silly foolishly transparent attempt at trolling, its better to handle it with humor and put it in its place by ridiculing the "logic", instead of censoring it.  

 

Censorship is the nuclear option, and only the last resort for egregious trash.  

 

Just my 2 cents.

Time for BCCI to show its powers to the “entitled” players. Not get treated like a sideshow

Shah-Ganguly Ratna for the only two “worried” IPL captains in the test squad.

Ban all gujaratis from Indian cricket for 1 year, for making and eating "pineapple butter sandwich".

[maniac]

Even if it is true that those 2 were the instigators then the entire team should be banned for either  not having a spine or being in cahoots with these guys.

 

Ban the entire squad and hit the reboot.

 

ICF would love this team and I am sure there are readily available players as below who fit the  criteria 

 

1.U-19 opener 1 who can keep 

2.Top scorer in a couple of games last season with the highest strike rate including a couple of flashy 6’s

3. U-23 batsman who had a good start to his domestic career

4.u-19 middle order bat

5. Leg side 360 degree modern player 

6.an “allrounder” who can bowl 135+ and hit a couple of big 6’s maybe not in the same match 

7. A leg spin bowler who spins the ball like Warne and bats like Symonds

8.bowler 1 who has recorded a couple of balls over 145k

9. bowler 2 (see bowler 1)

10.bowler 3 (see bowler 1 and 2)

11. An off spinner who can spin the ball like Murali

I can understand if ppl stood up  these players and Ind. But here these two IPL captains potentially compromised Ind’s rare strong position in the series (working against Ind’s interest), putting BCCI and the series in an awkward position.

This won't be forfeited.  It will be cancelled. Teams have more latitude with covid around. They just have to technically establish they had a reason to cancel the series.

Those 5 100s at the 2019 WC continue to sting. Add to it Rohit being our best batsman now even in Tests

4-5 support staff isolated is big enough reason. England ran away from SA even when they had no cases in their contingent.

Even without some of these players, IPL could have gone on (dumb scheduling by BCCI). But to do this just to be a part of it as individuals

Downside of this precedence is , teams can literally leave the tour half way through based on one case. Nobody can stop them or force them. If the teams don't follow basic protocols and catch covid anywhere entire series can be called off now that tow teams have done it.  IPL called off half way through. There is no telling whether this IPL won't be impacted by covid given the lax behavior of players.  May be they should stop playing cricket until covid is over or enforce strict lockdowns during a series.

BCCI has taken a decision and they will see they will see the end  with all its might. Every aspect like finance, IPL, test points , series would have been thought of and best decision taken.

Some here are talking as if there was only one result possible and that was India winning . With this brittle indian MO india could have lost the match also. 

There guys making it as if  handful of these guys are more impacted than the team itself about  the game and result of series.

Do not understand the Agenda behind creating a new thread every day on the same subject . If it was a genuine debate one thread would have be enough.

Better not not comment on these threads any more .

Kohli should be held accountable. I dont know what role Rohit played.
