Malcolm Merlyn Posted October 11, 2016 Posted October 11, 2016 Quote The Pakistan Cricket Board is not pleased with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), whose president Anurag Thakur wrote to the ICC, a few days back, asking the world body to not club Pakistan in their group for world events. As a result, the PCB, a disappointed unit, will come well prepared for the upcoming International Cricket Council (ICC) meet in Cape Town later during the month, where the board will come forward with a befitting reply to India. The PCB has always pushed BCCI for a bilateral series, but the India board has been avoiding the contest for some time for various diplomatic reasons. But Thakur's recent comments seems to have miffed PCB. Executive Committee's Chairman Najam Sethi, who will attend the meeting on October 11, will have some stern words for India in the meeting. Originally, chairman Shaharyar Khan was expected to attend, but his ailing health means Sethi will represent PCB. "I will go to Cape Town on October 11 to take part in the next ICC meeting as PCB chairman Shaharyar Khan is not well and I am nominated for it. I will attend the meeting with full preparations and give India befitting reply," Dawn quoted Sethi as saying. Sethi also has the blessings of former ICC president Ehsan Mani, who believes Pakistan have a strong case against BCCI president for his statements. "The Indian Cricket Board President, with his immature and inflammatory statements, has given an opening to Pakistan to plead its case more effectively at the ICC meeting. Anurag Thakur is a politician and member of parliament of the ruling party and the ICC must ask him to explain in what capacity does he give his statements on Pakistan or any other cricket issue," Press Trust of India quoted Mani as saying. "They must ask him to explain his position since the ICC constitution clearly forbade any of its own officials or those of member countries to make statements that bring the game into disrepute and that is what Thakur has done in his statements." http://www.ibtimes.co.in/pcb-will-come-all-guns-blazing-against-bcci-icc-meet-696779 tweaker 1

sourab10forever Posted October 12, 2016 Posted October 12, 2016 And they do understand that them not being happy about India not wanting to play them,makes them look more desperate to play us? With all that attitude, ideally they shouldn't be caring about it...or even go on and ask ICC to listen to BCCI and not place both in the same group. express bowling 1
mishra Posted October 12, 2016 Posted October 12, 2016 PCB will be given 30 seconds to put their case. After that it will be Bangladesh turn to speak for 30 mins sandeep, Vilander, putrevus and 2 others 5
G_B_ Posted October 12, 2016 Posted October 12, 2016 All I want is for there to be a legitimate draw. You cant have a rigged system whereby India always plays Pakistan. Now if legitimate draw happens and India v Pakistan happens then fair enough. In which case India IMO should play Pakistan mishra and WC2011INDIA 2
G_B_ Posted October 12, 2016 Posted October 12, 2016 and it should also be noted that the Dhumal family from HP (Anurag Thakur is his son) is facing the threat of Modi backed JP Nadda to CM contender in elections of that state (HP) 2017. I personally dont think Thakur has said views. He just does not want to give the Nadda camp any issues to attack his family over.

Nadda shouldnot be HP CM candidate.Dhumal has better chances of winning.

Thats a political issue which maybe should not be discussed in this thread. But Thakur has done bit of a u turn from organizing matches in HP between India n Pak to these statements.

Surely that even more empathize why politicians in power shouldn't be involved in running BCCI. Absolute mess the whole thing right from his decision to play India Pak match in the tiny Dharmashala stadium .
Austin 3:!6 Posted October 12, 2016 Posted October 12, 2016 What Anurag said is correct that we should not play cricket with Pakistan. But what I do not agree is that we should not play only Bilaterals with Pakistan. I say stop all cricket ties with Pakistan - Bilaterals, Multinationals all. Else we will look hypocrites.

Nothing hypocritical about it. Wherever we can refuse to play without cutting our nose to spite our face, we are doing it. Its perfect.

Iconoclast Posted October 12, 2016 Posted October 12, 2016 PCB needs to do nothing ... BCCI are already getting screwed in both ends by Lodha and Shashank

Don't think he can do much since Srini mama is on his way back to screw PCB.
