This is an ACC tournament, not ICC. ACC is headed by Mohsin Naqvi who is also current interior minister of Pak federal govt. Naqvi spread plenty of bile against India during the Pahalgam/Sindoor episodes. 

 

ICC has literally nothing to do with this garbage event.

 

If broadcasters have to be appeased, India might as well host a multi-nation tournament with Sri Lanka/Afghanistan and other countries (none of the SENA countries are playing in September). Indians will turn up to watch anything, nudge has to come from govt side. Or even a mini IPL (CT like format, with top 8 finishers of the league) if India so desires, literally anything is better than this farce. 

 

 

Well we might not like it but the Ind-Pak match is a massive money maker. Forget broadcasters even other Asian boards would want this match to happen so they can make money indirectly from it.

Ultimately, only public outrage can keep GOI in check. If given a chance, these compromised politicians (and babus) will even bring back IWT on the table. 

 

But how much time can Indian public spend on these outrage campaigns? Everyone has 1000 things to worry about in their day to day lives. 

 

Modi government sincerely feels 60 days is enough of a mourning period, that we will give proportionate response even when Pak murders dozens of our innocent civilians along the border. That public memory is short and dosti with Pak is permanent.

So? Our innocent civilians will continue dying but we must keep pleasing others, even 2 kaudi ke Asian cricket boards? 

 

Enough of defending this spineless government.

Honestly, even as a staunch Pak hater I don't mind us occasionally playing Pak in ICC/Asia events as long as we don't do Vikrant Gupta style pappi-jhappis with the P@kis. 

 

Just beat the hell out of them on the field, improve our h2h and be done with it.

Spineless as in bombing the hell out of multiple Islamic terror mosques and Madrassas? 

 

Such stuff was unthinkable before this govt. Even the so called iron lady never took on the Islamists.

Anurag Thakur and Jay Shah have that covered, don't worry.

@Gollum There's a reason why none of the Khan superstars or Muslim celebs posted anything in support of OP Sindoor. Normally they do support the Indian army even against Pak but not this time..

 

The strike on terror mosques and madrassas has rattled the subcontinent Ummah very badly. This was an unprecedented event, probably in the entire Hindu-Muslim 1000 years conflict. 

 

This govt is anything but spineless when it comes to Pak/Islamists. What they need is a really good IB minister.

Once we stop playing them, it won't be a massive money maker. money will find its way to another game , series, IPL etc.

Hockey Asia Cup in Rajgir in August-September this year. Winner gets automatic WC spot. 

 

Let us see if GOI grants them visa. Will other sports be treated like cricket or does everything boil down to money?

This was very well expected. BCCI in it's hunger to rule the Cricket World (politically, not in terms of actual onfield performance lol) will never ever boycott Pak in ICC/Asia events so as to please the ICC and braodcasters. 

 

If BCCI forfeits Pak matches it will lose considerable bargaining chip in the ICC, making it's political dominance difficult. 

 

Sorry, but I didn't get this part. What dominance BCCI has on ICC ?
PCB asked for Hybrid model we agreed, we aren't even able to isolate PCB despite all the resources that we have. Where is the bargaining chip ? Were we able to convince ICC, CA, ECB, CSA or NZC to stop travelling to HeeraMandi ?

I'm not against doing business, but business can't be done over Blood Money. In HeeraMandi's case, we all know they will use the money directly or indirectly to fund the terror groups.

What you'll do with h2h ?

India plays cricket with all cricketing nations, Pak aint that special. What matters is the ICC trophies and tournaments, that creates a legacy. Every game with play with them will justify their actions.

Everyone knows now Imran Khan was a ball temperer...without ball tempering he might be another Haris Rauf. Waqar entire career was based on tempering, without that he was a diluted version of Umesh/Siraj. Akram despite all the ball tempering avg 23...in modern times, he may have ended below Shami. 

Past is a glory for those who have nothing to show in present.

Well the ICC posts tonnes of SM content sucking up to Indian cricketers. If that ain't dominance then what is lol.

 

On a serious note, the western contries are too 'elite' to boycott Pak on just the behest of a former colony like India. Not to mention Pak itself was created keeping western geopolitical interests in mind. The west won't ever completely ditch their illegitimate child for us. Not until we become a geniune superpower.

Yeah Ind-Pak h2h is bogus, built largely on Sharjah and ball tampering. 

 

But comeon man isn't it fun to smash Pak once in a while in a sport that both the countries care deeply about. 

 

The money earned from Ind-Pak matches doesn't go directly to Pak but to the common cricket fund. That's why even the neutral boards want Ind-Pak matches.

India loses hosting rights for next 3 Asia Cups. Kanglus too will make us play in their venues as vishwaguru plans its 8D chess:hysterical:

 

A country which quivers at the sight of other South Asian countries in a sport where it has 90% financial control, will take on USA, EU, China in this century, if only daydreaming were a sport !!!!!!

Bhakts ka bhi kat gya, now must develop more mental gymnastics to cope. Just waiting for a clarification from dear leader that IWT suspension threat was a prank.

How many times have we ever hosted the Asia Cup in the past? 

 

Asia Cup is just a lollipop we give to lesser Asian boards to get their vote. 

 

Can't believe that's your take on this..

The govt can ban anyone they want to, but they don't really give a * about anyone except those criticizing let's say the corruption or nepo babies in BJP or its allies! That doesn't mean that every allegation is legit but these *ers care more about criticism than making lives of their fellow countrymen better! You think one Jaichand was bad, we've had likely millions between politicians & bureaucracy post independence   :gossip:

The unbanning of P@ki accounts was some stupid IAS babu's doing not the govt's. I think the unbanning is already or will eventually be reversed after the public outrage. 

 

BTW the soft Khayalistani, Pak-punjabi lover Diljeet deserves all brickbats coming his way from Indians.

 

Lol no babu can do it without approval from highest authority. This is a bad excuse.

Why would Modi/Shah even give such an order? They have nothing to gain from it politically only lose. They aren't that stupid. 

 

These minor things are handled solely by the bureaucracy. All the finer prints of any govt law/scheme are drafted by the bureaucrats. Babus hold a lot of power.
