All stupid stuff especially when thet fall over themselves trying to play Pakistan in some tournament or the other every year. If India crash out of the tournament and all they have to show for it this empty posturing, most neutrals will probably welcome it.

Now BCCI wants Opening ceremony and captains meeting to be shifted to Dubai. They are not willing to send Rohit Sharma to Pakistan. At this rate, BCCI will directly demand the trophy without playing any games

Just absolute pettiness now- if they have that much issue with Pak hosting, why did they agree to it in the first place.

 

Jay shah is an absolute moron

Costs of footing Sharma's ceremonial buffet higher than that of hosting the entire opening ceremony?

 

Will Sharma be the true patriot decline the invite, do it via a Zooms call and eat in India instead?

These threads need to start having the term "allegedly" in the title these are just so called reports coming out of the rear end of Indian media. 

 

BCCI are many things but they are not jingoistic by any means to do this

Pakistan did they same during 50over WC.

No, the host's name is printed on each Jersey. India will have to comply as it seems to be the norm

Pretty sure Pak printed UAE on their jerseys in 21 T20 WC while other countries went with India.

Wow I am glad BCCI is run by such matured individuals who are focused on cricket development over juvenile fascinations.
