Ultimate_Game Posted January 4 Posted January 4 As per the article, Bangladesh will ask the ICC to relocate their T20 World Cup matches from India to Sri Lanka, after KKR were instructed to release Mustafizur Rahman as a result of deteriorating political ties between Bangladesh and India. The BCB is expected to write to the ICC to raise their concerns about player safety in Kolkata, where Bangladesh are scheduled to play their first three matches of the World Cup next month. https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/bangladesh-look-to-move-t20-world-cup-matches-from-india-amid-mustafizur-row-1517973 This is what you get by backing down and allowing Pak to play their matches in SL and now everyone will try to get their way. That's why BCCI should never have agreed to let Pak play in SL. If they wanted to boycott the tourney (which we know they wouldn't have), so be it. BCCI has to put their foot down and let everyone know that either the teams play their matches in India or they're free to opt out and face the music. New guy, jf1gp_1, Gollum and 1 other 1 3
Vancouver Posted January 4 Posted January 4 One has to applaud the BCB for this response. A relatively small board has shown more spine than the BCCI. Ultimate_Game, Stan AF and Lord 1 2
Adamant Posted January 4 Posted January 4 BCB isn’t significant enough to force ICC into submission. PCB had a legit case. TBH I like Pakistanis way more than these Bangladeshis, I have never felt such hate for any nationality. Hopefully we cut any and all ties with this wretched nation. rollingstoned 1

Between BCB and PCB , they have 45 cr TV viewership money. While it is not same as 140 cr here , it is substantial nonetheless to ignore by a mafia enterprise like BCCI . Something gotta give eventually as BCCI is not coming from a principled stance, rather toggling between commercial interests and political posturing based on convenience.

I'm all for playing them in Asia Cup every 2 years and focus on SENA for bi-laterals. No need to tour or invite them for a series. raki05 1

IMO BCCI needs to take a hard line and not negotiate with anyone. They went down slippery slope with Pak and are paying the price for it. IMO they should state that India is the host of the tourney and they expect every team to play in India. If a team doesn't want to, they're free to boycott but matches won't be relocated to any other venue. New guy, rollingstoned, mishra and 1 other 2 2

With schedule out BCCI also has limited options specially when tickets have already started gone on sale. From BCBs prospective if they strongly believe their players aren't safe then BD should withdraw from the tournament. ICC either finds a replacement or gives walkover to all opposition teams after all its just round 1 games. Ultimate_Game 1

Austin 3:!6 Posted January 4 Posted January 4 Too close to the tournament to make any venue change. Hope BCCI show some spine this time. If BD board try to act smart...show them their aukat. Have you guys read their sports minister statement? It reads - 'Days of gulaami is over'. Gulaami from whom? Your country was doing so well under Haseena, growing at a rate even faster than India, then you topple that govt with an illegal coup, attack minorities, openly threaten India (the country that gave you independence) and now when Indian board refused to take one BD player in IPL....you want to shift all BD matches to SL? For a minnow board they are trying to bite more than they could chew. Atleast with Pakistan, we have a cricket rivalry. This worthless naagin team is just a nuicence for last 10 years. Time for BCCI to show who is the boss and say an emphatic no on their request. If they want to pull out from tournament, they are free to do so but have to compensate the ICC for the loses which will be in millions. Having said that, I have no trust in present BCCI regime. N.Srinivasan would have eaten these minnows alive. Under current BCCI, we still couldnt get the Asia cup ttophy Ultimate_Game, raki05 and G_B_ 1 1 1

They should have excluded BD cricketers from auction when ISI backed Jamaat and their propaganda machinery were threatening India and its territorial integrity. Instead they included to keep commercial stakeholders happy with potential of additional revenue from BD viewership/broadcasting. BCCI does not have any principle or conviction. Tomorrow if BCB decide to boycott WC with CAS approval, watch BCCI foil to avoid financial loss.

Norman Posted January 4 Posted January 4 Joke of a region.. Joke of a sport... Even bigger joke of governing bodies for this shitt sport.. People are already losing interest in Cricket fast these days. Can't wait to see these BCCI gaandus go bankrupt due to the lack of eyeballs. New guy, Austin 3:!6, Ultimate_Game and 3 others 6
New guy Posted January 4 Posted January 4 (edited) @Gollum So many chamchas were cheering and justifying when spineless BCCI agreed to hold our home matches in other countries for Pakistan They didn't have the intelligence to understand that such things just shows india as weak and allows other nations to demand the same thing. Without india bowing down to Pakistan. Bangladesh would never have dared ask for this. And behind the scenes, Pakistani government and PCB 100% influenced Bangladesh to ask for this, so how did bowling down to PCB help us? At least Pakistan had the justification of a terror attack on players for other nations not visiting, BCCI is doing it to themselves voluntarily. The most spineless BCCI we have had in our entire cricket history. Edited January 4 by New guy Ultimate_Game, Gollum and Lord 1 2
mishra Posted January 4 Posted January 4 iCC should ban Bangladesh for couple of years and impose few hundred million. Basically make them bankrupt as well. Norman and raki05 2

New guy Posted January 4 Posted January 4 5 minutes ago, mishra said: iCC should ban Bangladesh for couple of years and impose few hundred million. Basically make them bankrupt as well. On what grounds? By allowing Pakistan to play their games in Sri Lanka for security reasons, BCCI has set a precedent. Bangladesh just wants the same thing now. How can they be banned or punished for that? Gollum and Ultimate_Game 2

Only follow overseas test tours a bit. These annual dramas every year before every ICC events is getting super boring. Drama before CT, drama before Asia cup and now this drama before WT20. When is the next ICC event in SENA? Atleast that will be handled properly & professionally without this sub continental tu tu mai mai. figo6762, New guy, NameGoesHere and 1 other 4
Manucrick Posted January 4 Posted January 4 seen some article in cricbuzz ICC may consider bCB request for moving WC matches out of India. never seen a spineless stupid Board like bcci
