PCB Chairman Moshin Naqvi Invited to Witness IPL Final in India

[Tillu]

In a significant development for cricket diplomacy, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Mohsin Naqvi has received an invitation to attend both the Indian Premier League (IPL) Final and the upcoming ICC Board Meeting scheduled for May 30 and 31 in Ahmedabad. The invitation marks a rare moment of engagement between the cricket boards of India and Pakistan, given the long-standing political and sporting tensions between the two nations. The ICC meeting, coinciding with the IPL finale, is expected to bring together top cricket administrators from across the globe.

 

However, the decision on whether Chairman Naqvi will travel to India rests not with the PCB alone. The final call will be made by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, underscoring the political sensitivities surrounding such a visit. If approved, Naqvi’s presence at the IPL Final would be symbolic, highlighting cricket’s potential role as a bridge in strained bilateral relations. It would also mark a rare occasion where a PCB chief witnesses India’s premier domestic tournament firsthand. Observers note that the ICC Board Meeting itself will carry weighty discussions on the future of international cricket scheduling, revenue sharing, and governance reforms. Against this backdrop, Naqvi’s possible attendance could add an extra layer of intrigue to proceedings in Ahmedabad.

RSS wants talks to resume with Pakistan, already reports of back channel talks ongoing so no surprises @Gollum

Pressure from US?

[Tillu]

Is this a dress rehearsal for the bigger things like opening trade with Pakistan looking at the way Indian economy is taking a beating.

[Tillu]

Looking at the way our PM is on a country hopping spree to sign trade deals and to arrest the continuous fall of rupee, this might be the reason to have an open trade and have amicable relations with Pakistan for the time being.

[Norman]

Pathetic...

 

Have we become Trump's b*tch now?

[Manucrick]

If this true then bjp and pak loving congress are the same 

[bsriharsha]

Reading too much into this. 

 

There is an icc meeting scheduled in the gulf and due to the political situation in the gulf , this was relocated. India was chosen as the venue. 

 

As PCB is a member of the ICC, there's been an invite sent. 

 

If naqvi comes , so be it. If he doesn't come , pcb is the one petty entity.

PCB’s Naqvi not invited for IPL final, to virtually attend ICC Board Meet in Ahmedabad

By Kushan Sarkar

 

NEW DELHI: (May 16) Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Mohsin Naqvi has not been invited for the IPL final in Ahmedabad and he will virtually attend the ICC Annual Board Meeting, scheduled to be held on May 31 on the sidelines of the tournament’s title clash.

 

However, it is learnt that Naqvi will attend the ICC Board of Directors meeting through video conference, a provision that has always existed for member representatives who are unable to travel.

The ICC meeting was originally scheduled to be held in Doha last month but had to be postponed because of the prevailing crisis in West Asia.

Invitation for ICC meeting is fine, as they are member country and entitled to attend and India has to invite other board members. However inviting for IPL final is  ridiculous. No matter how many times Pakistan has back stabbed India , yet India wants to get hurt again. Hope this is fake news.

RSS is a confused organization. 

 

One day they say they can replace Indian army at short notice, apparently 3 days (that isn't anti-national?), another day **** like this. Scars of Pahalgam are still fresh, to even encourage discussion like this is treason.

Idiotic to think about. 

At best, they can replace the police force in some local districts where the officers are corrupt...but thats it. Maybe CISF if I stretch myself.

Army, BSF, SSB, Assam Rifles, CRPF etc are different ball games

Not even police, CISF in my opinion. 

 

Anyway, even BJP supporters, army guys took Mohan Bhagwat to the cleaners for that statement and RSS had to backtrack.

RSS is like brownshirts or Trump's ICE. They can't do shyte other than bullying regular citizens. They're good at terrorizing couples celebrating Valentines' Day than do anything meaningful.

Thats media narrative dude, its easy to gain popularity by using fake narrative and maligning someone. 

 

RSS has played several times key roles. They were a critical contributor during the Covid times in distribution of rations, arrangement of oxygen cylinders and isolation centers. They are always shoulder to shoulder with NDRF during times of natural disasters whether its in Kerala or in Himachal. Their seva Bharati wing has played a crucial role in setting up of housing destroyed after the natural calamities.

 

In past as well, several times RSS has taken up role of traffic police and civil security...whenever the country was in time of war and force has to be sent to border areas. Notably in 1962 & 1965 wars respectively.
