If both of these countries are digging holes for themselves, it is not India's responsibility to lift them up. Nasser Hussain is as always giving chumma

They have their own franchise cricket and generate their own revenue; they should pump that money back into their own systems no one is stopping them. They need to stop acting like beggars, pleading for bilateral series. They seem to forget that the other team in this so called 'rivalry' is India.

In fact, India could even ask the ICC to remove Pakistan from their group moving forward, ensuring there is no guaranteed match between the two sides.

Older Eng/Aus cricketers/fans are salty cause of loss of privilege.

 

But the CA/ECB head honchos know what's what hence allowing their players in IPL, letting IPL investors buy up teams, 5 match test series etc.

 

Even newer cricketers who have enjoyed IPL riches love it.

 

Let oldie Aus/Eng people whine. They are anyways impotent. they will all die out soon.

How much ever we Indian fans abuse Pakistan and Bangladesh cricket boards of their Aukat , they have come out better than BCCI after the operation Sindoor lfiasco last year. All fans were asking for india to not play in the Asia cup four months after Pahalgam. Indian government didn’t have the guts to tell BCCI to drop out of Asia cup now, both Bangladesh and Pakistan have stood behind their stance. A big F. U to BJP Govt and BCCI

Problem is Indian banias don't know how to wield power. 

 

Everything is seen via the lens of profit.

I think Pakistan is also misreading its cards and vastly overestimating the commercial attractiveness of India-Pak fixtures. Apparently their demands now include resintating Bangladesh, playing India-Pak in the WTC etc etc. 

The ICC is basically ineffectual but this is the right time for India to just snap ties and move on. Lack of India-Pak games doesn't really affect India long term.

Lol Pakistani live in delulu and are overplaying their cards.

 

Also reinstatement of players in IPL hahahahaha.

 

The most they can get is play and have no sanctions.

 

I hope to god they don't back out.

 

Remove this Ind-Pak fixture and relegate them to the SL, WI, Bang level which they are technically on via cricketing performance. Their only "value" comes from being India's "rivals". All of WI, SL, Bang have better records vs India than Pak in the last decade.

• Reduce their ICC share
• No ICC events hosting
• Reduced matches in FTP including only 2 match test series

Perfectly "legal" way of hurting them.

Problem with some Muslims of India Pakistan Bangladesh no matter where you educate them or what level of Power you give them or background they come from.  They always buy Pakistani narrative and conveniently ignore the death and destruction of Indians as long as obnes dieing are non Muslim. 

 

This mofo should be asked, Did India NOT bite the bullet and decided to play against Pakistan after Pahalgham which was orchrestated by Munir and this same interiors mininster (Naqvi) who is relative of Munir. All we did was decided not to do Handshake after beating them and refused to take trophy from Pakistans interior minister who happend .

 

Now Balochistan is burning, Time for them to bite the bullet. If they can, They need to win the trophy and then refuse to take Trophy from Jay Shah. Quid pro quo. But NO. All they can do is talk politics , do politics, bad mouth and find Happiness in Hurting India as its akin to Hurting Hindus.

I dont know why chutiya Indian media is engaging with all ex poorki icc chiefs. Indian media is most shameless.

The problem is not engagement, the problem is they are not prepared to counter them analytically. I see how Israel , RW voices in Europe do a detailed study before they come to these kind of debates.

 

While Nikhil did an ok job, there were so many flaws in what Sethi said. Sethi who was once a rebel against Pak establishment in his younger days has sold his soul to the same army to settle his score with Imran. The thing is these guys end of the day are products of a society and system that can lie with a straight face in sophisticated language. Its not that they can't be countered, but for that the reporter on this side needs to do their research and have the arguments on place like a lawyer. Unfortunately our overall quality of journalism has degraded and lacks smartness, articulation and nuanced thought process.

That is why anyone who suggests that this bastard is neutral and is a good journalist/expert need to get their heads examined.

 

Does this moron understand the reasoning of Bangladesh wanting neutral venues.These bastards are speaking from their behinds without any proper understanding of the issue.

 

IPL is domestic league and Fizz's non selection has got nothing to do with world t20.It is idiotic that BCB made it into a national issue in the first place and then we have these idiots defending it.

Funniest thing is as soon as this "interim" government is out of power, Bangladesh will restore relations with India in politics as well as cricket.

 

Pooks will be left holding their dick in their hands.

It was not even profit, india would have hardly gained any revenue from Asia cup hosting as all the proceeds would go to ACC countries like UAE, Nepal, Singapore, etc. Even there these low IQ people lost out on.

We should have played that tournament in India, Pooks would have boycotted it. 

 

Infuriating how we are playing our tournaments overseas (UAE, SL). So many big stadiums and cricket centres in India, our cricket-crazy fans deserve first right to watch those tournament games in their cities. 

International tournaments involving Pakistan will always find india hosting with other countries from here on. After india refused to go to Pakistan for champions trophy and Asia cup, which were later held in UAE and Sri Lanka, expect Park to never visit india ever. Better to play with non-Park countries and non-bd countries in India, which is better quality cricket anyway.

The current saga shows that India and Pakistan playing in international tournaments is a solely commercial enterprise which might be coming to its expiration date.  Over commercialisation is also the reason the calendar has been saturated with world cups, champions trophies etc etc which are merely excuses to milk India-Pak games. Now  may be a period when the administration of the game needs to move from gorging on greasy food to a period of intermittent fasting. Politicially and from the perspective of the populations on either side, there is no prospect of engagement as sporting contests. In addition, this whole rigmarole causes hassle for every other team as well. 

The solution is simple - just end the charade. Organise separate tournaments where India or Pakistan participate and let the market decide which ones are financially sustainable. If that means separating into an India centric( IPL+invitation cricket tournaments) and a Pakistan centric camp ( with contests PSL+Bangladesh equivalents) so be it. Otherwise this saga will show up every single time.

No. Should say come or * off.

 

Because India gets way more tourneys than reverse.

 

Good thing is this hybrid agreement is only in place till 2027. 2027-2031 Pooks don't have anything.

Anglos have always had a soft spot for Pakistan for some reason. Esp the poms. It's not for no reason the so called shambolic 'rules based international order' has kept them on life support over the decades preventing them from outright collapse when it looks like it's impending and attempted to draw some sort of sem2sem false equivalence for the best part of it between us and them until 2001 September at least and all the attacks that followed in the West until which they denied such an issue existed, asking us to deal with the issue that they themselves helped create in the 80s while they paid lip service about religious tolerance, human rights, women's rights etc. Same lot allowed Qatar to host a FIFA WC and went and played it despite all the hand wringing around it.

Truly explains how chutia Pooks are.

 

It is NEVER "We are going to make the PSL bigger and kill IPL"

 

Always Arabs, Chinese, American abbus etc lol.

 

Even they know how useless they are.

 

And the second point is the delusion.

 

Americans, Chinese, Arabs keep them around for security reasons. Why will they invest in some entertainment they have zero interest in.

 

It's as ridiculous as North Korea asking for Chinese/Russian investment to build a rival K-pop/K-drama industry lol.

It's not for some reason. It's to basically needle us.

 

Enemy of an enemy thing.

 

Pooks aren't overthrowing the world order, we are.

 

Same reason we have a soft spot for Afghans.
