My subtle joke which should get 100  reactions is buried between arguements on BJP vs Congress, lgbtq, secularism.

 

Kabhi kabhi lagta hai, I’m too good for ICF 

 

Intellect is required for that. Seriously lacking here. Not always do people pull out at the right time

@Lone Wolf  This is related to UAE . Having the event in UAE will get them revenue in terms of hosting, ticket sales, tourism and also benefits UAE cricket. Govt has some quid-pro-quo with these countries , UAE let India build a swami Narayan temple in UAE and oil and trade deals, not forgetting giving highest civilian award to topG. Hence, all this posturing. This tournament is bound to happen. 

So now our Indian lives are worth selling to UAE? Good to know 

 

So if we are not slaves to America, we have to be slaves to UAE. Always have to bow to others I guess.

Pretty sure the game will be cancelled. Will also help them in Oct elections

Looks like Brazil and US will be in the  Olympics cricket event, but Pak won't...

 

Well done Nepo Shah if that happens..

Coming to to topic, the Central govt should read the room and force BCCI to cancel the Ind-Pak matches or cancel the whole Asia Cup itself.

 

It's a useless tournament for us anyways which we only play as charity to secure votes from smaller Asian boards. 

 

Literally no one wants to watch us play Pak this time around, not even Owaisi.

T20 rankings are so volatile that we may also miss out on a spot in future editions.

I was thinking the same. But with a young T20 suited squad we are safe right now. 

 

But if in future we drop low we can always tinker with the he rules...Aakhir baap to hum hi hain..

Ha ha. Masterstroke dekh lo ek aur

 

Certainly yeh saamne waalon ko southiya samajhte hain. Match hua to us din social media ko pahalgam ki pic s videos se flood kar denge.

Sarkar ko bhi yaad dilaye Pahalgam hua tha. 

 

The Government of India (GOI) is reportedly shifting the blame to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) regarding the decision to play or not play against Pakistan in the upcoming Asia Cup, specifically in the context of the September 14th match. This comes after social media criticism of the GOI for allowing the match to proceed given the recent Pahalgam terror attack. The GOI seems to be deferring the final decision to the BCCI, a private body, which has led to public backlash and accusations of attempting to avoid responsibility

In future editions will be like hockey I think. 1 continental spot plus multiple spots in qualifiers.

 

Should get in via the qualifier system if miss out on continental system.

 

Asia can also get 2 spots tbh.

 

[Lord]

Stupid rule then. Just select top 6-8 sides.

That will be better, 1 team per continent isn't fair. NZ, Aus, both should be there. Likewise more than 1 Asian team deserves the spot in this format, last 2 WCs we have had 2 Asian sides making SFs each time (Pak, Ind in 22 and Ind, Afg in 24), and one Asian finalist also. 

 

In Hockey, we always get all the medal contenders competing in the Olympics, you can never point to a team missing out some edition and say that they had it in them to have a good run in the Olympics...qualification should be fair like that.

What if there is another Pahalgam while Asia Cup is in progress? India will pull out then, and that too will be labelled a 56D masterstroke?

Even Munir isn't that stupid or suicidal to sanction another big terror attack so soon. Personally he got what he wanted, became a Failed Marshal, killed rival Imran's political career for ever. 

 

 

[AuxiliA]

Since the ICF is so against playing Pakistan (as it should be), I expect we won't be creating any Ind-Pak match threads or even discuss Asia Cup on this forum if the tournament goes through as planned. Pehle khud to boycott karo... @Lord @Austin 3:!6

Yeah. Operations go on everyday all year, wether terrorists are involved or not. What's your point?

These are terrorist operations. My point is Pakistan hasn't stopped, yet we are playing cricket with them
