Asim Posted October 24, 2015 Posted October 24, 2015 PCB moots World Twenty20 boycott Shaharyar Khan, the PCB chairman, has said that Pakistan would consider pulling out of the World Twenty20 in India next year, should the proposed India-Pakistan series in December not go ahead.Shaharyar was scheduled to meet the BCCI president Shashank Manohar in Mumbai earlier this week to discuss the series, but those talks were put on hold after anti-Pakistan protests from the Shiv Sena, a regional political party.Shaharyar has already written a detailed letter to Pakistan's prime minister Nawaz Shariff, informing him of the present situation with India. Shaharyar said he understood the consequences of pulling out of an ICC tournament, but felt the security situation in India would leave Pakistan little choice in the matter."My own feeling is that we will have to go to our government and talk to them about the situation," Shaharyar said. "What I feel is that the government will say 'do not go to an ICC tournament in India'. That is what I sense because of the uncertain situation for a Pakistani in India. You have seen the situation there. In this environment, how can we say? We will not have security enough there."Maybe the ICC would say 'you have forfeited the matches' and that's fine, we will forfeit the matches. But the decisions will only be taken when the doors [on the bilateral series] are finally closed. To me, the possibility of an Indo-Pak series is close to over."There are two points in that. First, all doors [to the resumption of bilateral ties] have to be closed. We will then decide on the matter in one week or so. India hasn't confirmed or said anything, but are delaying it. We will have to decide that this series cannot happen, and after that we will decide what our policy is."Shaharyar said that after the protests, the BCCI "did not care" to reschedule the meeting for a different time, leaving him stranded for nearly 36 hours. However, Najam Sethi, the head of the PCB's executive committee, contradicted Shaharyar's statement, saying that the BCCI was in touch with the PCB "at every stage"."Shaharyar Khan thought Shashank Manohar would phone him, but he did not call him [after the cancellation]," Sethi said."I shouldn't say it, and Shaharyar has also not revealed it, but when we were in the hotel, Manohar was communicating with us through his wife [who was] sitting in the same room as Shaharyar's wife. At every stage, we knew what was happening. We were told [by the BCCI] that they will stay in touch after the meeting was cancelled."Shaharyar, though, strongly denied Sethi's claim, claiming that while the two wives met socially, they did not speak about cricket."We didn't go there to beg. We went to talk about cricket," Shaharyar said. "It started from the ICC meeting in Dubai, where the BCCI president invited us to Mumbai because they were also interested in reviving the ties. There is a Memorandum of Understanding signed between both of us to play a cricket series, and we want to make sure it's happening. We need time to arrange it, and that is the reason we want to talk."http://www.espncricinfo.com/pakistan/content/story/933063.html
beautifulgame Posted October 24, 2015 Posted October 24, 2015 1.If u are gone lie atleast talk through with your collogues first Shaharyar and Sethi .2.If Pakistan want to boycott then tough luck we can't do much.Just invite Nepal or any other associate With Bangladesh developing into a good team the quality won't be any different (8 good teams) than in the past .Frankly won't matter much to sponsors either .
Adi_91 Posted October 24, 2015 Posted October 24, 2015 Such tactics will not make Indo-Pak series a reality. I highly suspect that this is mere pressure tactic that is not going to bother BCCI.
Gollum Posted October 24, 2015 Posted October 24, 2015 SK is a decent fella and so is Sethi saheb. India won't get such sane and nice people sitting atop PCB this often in the future.
Malcolm Merlyn Posted October 24, 2015 Posted October 24, 2015 So if India plays Pakistan in December then there are no security issues?Huh?Indians/BCCI arent going to give into these threats.You want to boycott the World T20.Go ahead.I hope BCCI makes it clear that any player or coach who plays in the PSL isnt welcome in the IPL.Lets see how PSL functions then.

I hope BCCI makes it clear that any player or coach who plays in the PSL isnt welcome in the IPL.Lets see how PSL functions then.Yeahs that's why PCB is so full of it. They are basically saying that if India doesn't play them they will falsely boycott the T20 world cup on the grounds of security. I hope ICC is taking note of this. I was originally in favour of India playing in UAE but screw PCB and these dirty tactics.
Asim Posted October 24, 2015 Author Posted October 24, 2015 enough of BS excuses from india, BCCI behavior had been nothing more than utter non-sense...

jf1gp_1 Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 (edited) In all honesty i dont want cheats like amir playing in India. Once Pakis lose a match all the match fixing in India blah blah will start. IPL has been successful with out Pak players i am sure WC will be just as successful without Pak team.

sandeep Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 Damn...Arrogance of these bullies... Chest thump while you can...The rest of the world is sick of BCCI. The day they spit on your filthy money isn't that far away.. This teenager whose balls haven't dropped yet, doesn't know that Sri Lankan cricket can keep the lights on, because the BCCI has bailed it out repeatedly, and thats only in the last 10 years. Give it a couple more years, and SLC will be back again, bhikshu bowl in hand. Only, they will have the grace to do so in a dignified manner behind closed doors - PCB is acting like those hijdaas that come to disrupt social events - Give me a series or else I will huff and puff and do nangaa naach. sscomp32 and Ironhide 2
Debutant Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 Barking dogs seldom bite. PCB can bark as much as they want, but they will toe the line and come running to India to play just like a dog runs towards a bone. Ironhide and sscomp32 2

Nor should they play cricket or visit each other's countries. If the WT20 was in Pakistan*, I would say the same thing- that India must not take part.* Hahahahahahahahaa. WT20 in Pakistan!
