“We will not sell ourselves for money”: Mohsin Naqvi

[BouncerGuy]

Chairman PCB Mohsin Naqvi speaking during a media talk:

“The construction started on October 10. There hasn’t been a week or even a day when our sports reporters haven't come by, usually every other day or even daily. I've seen a lot of people giving updates about the stadium regularly. We're really hopeful that we'll finish the construction by December 20-25. So, just do the math: in about two and a half months, 75 days, it will be done.

"We'll finish this up first, then we'll move on to the finishing work, which is definitely going to happen alongside. We've already started some of the finishing work, but our main goal for construction is to wrap it up between December 15 and December 25. Right now, we're counting the total capacity, but it should be around 35,000 to 40,000. We've already put in some half stairs, and more will be added soon. If you go over there and take a look the view is like a stadium now. We're aiming for it to meet international standards."

“We're getting close to the Champions Trophy, and we're working really hard for it day and night. If all goes well, the Champions Trophy will be in Pakistan, and we'll do our best.”

About the work that is left to be done in the stadiums:

“The Rawalpindi stadium—if I had known earlier how bad the structure report would be, we wouldn’t have wasted time on it and a new stadium would have been built. This stadium is practically brand new except for the outer red wall, other than that, everything else is newly constructed. So if this stadium can be built, then the one in Rawalpindi could have been built too.”

About the stance on holding the Champions Trophy in Pakistan:

"We're going to go with the same stance and do the best for Pakistan. We’ll look at the whole situation and choose the best option. I promise you that. We definitely need to update the government about some things; we've done some and still have more to do. We're not going to sell ourselves for money—nothing like that is happening or will happen. We will do what's best for Pakistan.”


About the negotiation between the PCB and the ICC regarding the Champions Trophy:

"We have been in constant contact with the ICC. I’ve been talking regularly with the chairman, and our team is meeting with them to discuss things. We aim to bring out the best for Pakistan and its cricket. We’re very clear on our stance, but we need to find a win-win solution. I’m hopeful that the nation won’t be disappointed. “


About the Hybrid model in case the voting does not go in Pakistan’s favor:

“We're going to do what's best for Pakistan, I promise you that. We're still firm on our position that we can't go playing cricket in India every time, while they refuse to play here in Pakistan. Whatever happens, will look to be treated on equal terms, and we've made that very clear to the ICC. We'll keep you updated on what comes out of the final board meeting.”

“Whatever the government decides is up to them. Whatever the ICC board decides, I have to take it to the government for their review. We're trying our best to do what's best for Pakistan and for cricket in Pakistan. We're very clear on the fact that this can't just happen that we play in India, and India doesn’t come here to play cricket, we’re very clear about that. I’d say Pakistan shouldn’t lose hope.”


About the reasons, India has given for not coming to Pakistan?

“They haven’t provided any written response; it’s all just been verbal discussions.”


About Jay Shah as the chairman of the ICC:

“He’s taking charge on December 5, and I hope when he goes to the ICC, he’ll represent the interests of the ICC and international cricket. No matter who it is, when someone is in a position of power, they should make decisions based on behalf of the organization.”


Postponement of the Sri Lanka A tour:

“I don’t want to comment on politics, but it’s clear that we need to ask the people whose actions are causing all the trouble. The whole of Pakistan is peaceful, everything's normal. There's nothing to worry about. If we start quoting things, I can quote similar things in other countries as well (like protest or terrorism)"

 

[Muhammad Saad]

It would be in the best interest for Pak to go with Hybrid model while also making sure that Pak team also get the same treatment that is playing at neutral venue instead of going to India for any ICC event. I am sure this will make win win situation for both parties.

 

[Devadwal]

“We will not sell ourselves for money”: Mohsin Naqvi
This above statement will use again and again in the future .

 

[Hitman]

CA needs to learn from PCB.

 

[Devadwal]

What does this statement means?

He is saying that Pakistan will not accept hybrid model if ICC ready to give them extra money?

 

[BouncerGuy]

What does this statement means?

He is saying that Pakistan will not accept hybrid model if ICC ready to give them extra money?

basically he is saying that they are firm on their stance to hold the event in Pakistan. Furthur details will be shared after the meeting tomorrow.

 

[Devadwal]

basically he is saying that they are firm on their stance to hold the event in Pakistan. Furthur details will be shared after the meeting tomorrow.

I believe the way he was emphasizing on “whatever is best” is indicating that things can move towards hybrid..

That is very different to these headlines . But yes we can wait for another 30 hour's .

 

[RyanRyan10]

He is fighting for honor and respect of Pakistan but it's unfortunate that most Pakistanis are insulting him over the X just due to political differences.

 

[BouncerGuy]

But yes we can wait for another 30 hour's .

Yep. we should

 

[followed]

It can't keep happening again and again.
India backstabbed Pakistan again as they have been doing for so long.

I don't understand why Pakistan visited india during 2023 world cup.

Pakistan should never visit India again.

Personally I don't want india in pakistan and the tournament should go on without pathetic india.

Pakistan should not bow down to loser BCCI again.

yeah if the sport is run by a single country then we have to assume that cricket can never become a global sport like football

Nothing can be done if other countries are so incompetent and lazy

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Hopefully Naqvi stays true to his word. I want to see a World Tournament without my team India.
This farce from ICC needs to be put to bed.. and hopefully Naqvi is the man.

 

[Devadwal]

At the end Naqvi will agree on ICC demands and blamed PTI Protest for this .

Unfortunately Naqvi isn't getting supported by his own countrymen and as a result we saw Sri Lanka A leaving a tour in between.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

At the end Naqvi will agree on ICC demands and blamed PTI Protest for this .

He could do that if he was just PCB chief.

But he is also the home minister.

So he would be blaming himself for not being able to manage the protests.

 

[Devadwal]

But he is also the home minister.

So he would be blaming himself for not being able to manage the protests.

I was talking about for pakistan public .he can easily tell to Pakistan media/ Public that our case was strong untill PTI protest .

So he can easily blame on PTI protest if PCB face any problem with champion trophy .

 

[Red-Indian]

yeah if the sport is run by a single country then we have to assume that cricket can never become a global sport like football

I think that future is pretty much closed. There's maybe a couple of truly global sports and a quirky 200+ year sport like cricket isn't heading in the direction of becoming one.

I think there are 3 potential fates for cricket

1. Similar to Rugby where a bunch of countries play and a couple are larger than the others but it's a reasonably even game
2. Similar to Basketball where there are a lot of leagues and countries playing but there's really only 1 big league
3. Similar to American Football where it essentially becomes a one country sport which occasionally pulls in talent from elsewhere

Given the direction we're headed, I think 2 is the most likely future. There'll be 8 to 10 countries playing cricket and will have their own leagues and international cricket will have relevance for tournaments/Olympics but 5-6 months of the year will be taken by the IPL (like the NBA).

 

[FearlessRoar]

His body language suggests that Pakistan has accepted the hybrid model

 

[pakfan54588]

From his body language its seems pcb have accepted hybrid model .he is just avoiding backlash till official announcement

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

yeah if the sport is run by a single country then we have to assume that cricket can never become a global sport like football

It's because it's not a global sport that one country can dictate terms without too much protest. I doubt it will become a global sport in my time so I am not too bothered. It is like watching a fight at an aunties tea party sometimes.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

He is fighting for honor and respect of Pakistan but it's unfortunate that most Pakistanis are insulting him over the X just due to political differences.

That's just the nature of social media. Naqvi's statement was very professional and hit the right points I feel.

 

[RidiculousMan]

"We will not sell ourselves for money"

What a clown he is

 

[Devadwal]

It Was always visible from when Indian government refused to send the indian cricket team.

Only Pakistan fan's were not accepting that facts

 

[BouncerGuy]

To be honest, Naqvi did not sound very confident. Gotta wait for the meeting results but just saying

So why didn't India voted or tell ICC not to give Pakistan hosting right. Whatever India will say ICC is bound to follow otherwise they will be on the street begging for money to support their people. Its ICC's fault.

 

[cricketjoshila]

PCB will accept hybrid model.

Tell the country that the board didn't support PCB and threatened to take away the entire CT.

He will also blame PCB for making security situation bad.

He is a politician, he will play like one.

pak has no other option.without india no icc tournament can take place.

 

[jamie smith]

sad reality is cricket is becoming if not already A one country sport where everything is being dictated by a bunch of coward indians.

 

[emranabbas]

Rather have no tournament than having a hybrid model

 

[Devadwal]

Don't worry in future ( Next cycle ) PCB will not get any icc events hosting right.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Don't worry in future ( Next cycle ) PCB will not get any icc events hosting right.

What justification would the ICC give for such a decision?

 

[RyanRyan10]

Indian govt refused to tour long before the PTI protests.

That's true but what I an trying to suggest is that the protests by the PTI have resulted in the mid tour departure of the Sri Lankan A team from Pakistan, which has dented the chances of Pakistan hosting the tournament. ICC can mention this as a valid reason to shift the tournament.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

HE WILL

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

It's because it's not a global sport that one country can dictate terms without too much protest. I doubt it will become a global sport in my time so I am not too bothered. It is like watching a fight at an aunties tea party sometimes.

Cricket seems to be heading toward becoming an India-centric sport rather than a truly global one. This is primarily due to the actions of a powerful, profit-driven board that prioritizes controlling and dictating terms to other boards over promoting the game internationally.

Thankfully, India’s lack of prominence in football outside the top 100 nations means that sport remains safe from such dominance.

 

[NishanKonar]

Good news for Mohsin Naqvi is he will be probably soon replaced as PCB chief - the next PCB chief will happily do whatever BCCI & ICC dictates

So Naqvi can claim he stood by his word while PCB does exactly what BCCI wants ! Win-wi for both Naqvi & PCB ( and ofcourse BCCI & ICC)

3D chess !

 

[Savak]

Naqvi has been sucking the PCB dry in his tenure. The PCB has lost money on their TV rights deal, he has spent a substantial chunk of the boards money on the stadiums, the Champions tournament. There are already reports that the PCB is struggling to pay their domestic cricketers on time and have had to cancel a few U19, women's tournaments because of Cashflow problems and he is now antogonizing the ICC, BCCI and cutting of the revenue source which is 50-60% of PCB's annual revenues?

He is going to lead the organization in ruins.

Well I could be wrong but when he had the proper departmental system didn't they sign those players and pay them their salaries , sui gas , pia , habib bank , krl.

If they did and many cricketers objected to dismantling theb

[u0sama]

Well he will be in a front row if any money offer, Money is important to him and establishment. Real deal will be get more share and spend in FWO projects.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Aren’t you the same person who was complaining about bad umpiring decisions in the Australia A vs India A match, calling it unfair and biased against India? If you saw that as injustice and favoritism, how can you be so indifferent about Pakistan being denied the chance to host its own tournament on home soil? Doesn’t that qualify as injustice in your eyes?

Because we are Dushman Mulk of Pakistan. There is no injustice here.. it's payback to Pakistan with interest.

 

[zaidihusain]

Before making any compromise PCB must keep in mind below goodwill gestures done by Pakistan without getting anything in return:

1. Pakistan team played 1996 WC QF against India in Bengaluru even though it was the main host and could have asked for QF at home

2. Pakistan team visited India again for SF of 2011 WC at home, it could have asked to play it's SF either in Bang or Sri Lanka

3. Pakistan team visited again in 2023 WC

Pakistan should not visit India unless India visits Pakistan in ICC tournament and it should completely demand neutral venue in all upcoming ICC events to be hosted by India and India & Pakistan must not be kept in same group in any scenario. This undertaking must be given by both BCCI & ICC and only after their confirmation PCB may take appropriate decision

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

[moghul]

After instrumental in killing dozens of innocent civilians , the guy is now talking cricket. With law and order situation in the country, I won't be surprised if more countries join India by refusing to travel to Pakistan .

 

[u0sama]

To me CT will be either completely held outside or will be postponed. Also due to Naqvi hatred against Afghani things will be difficult in future in ACC and ICC. Afghan might get PCB share from ICC. Afghan performance is going up, ICC give us funds we waste it on salary paid to government employees of Punjab government, hardly crickteres get any share. Pak player salary is lowest even compare to SLC and Ireland. Naqvi and Sethi gave contract to FWO, Sethi also gave rights to third class geo super. ICC will hurt us for being run politically. ICC will also take notice of Naqvi racism against Afghans, might get us banned. Remember Sarfaraz Ahmed ban in SA. ICC take it seriously

was criket ever a truly global sport?

for ~100 years two countries (basically one country, jailers and convicts) decided who can play

Everyone can play now. they even gat a money from ICC. Was MCC handing out money every year when eng/aus was in charge?

Lol, says the guy who plugged in Kashmir at World Cup semi-finals toss for no reason at all. Irony keeps dying at the hands of these ex-cricketers with short memories.

 

[adi_62941]

He is living under the illusion of a “green uniform paradise.” The civilized world doesn’t view situations like this in the same way. Gone are the days when Pakistan was a powerhouse and had a significant say in the ICC and cricket. Now, economic superiority dictates leadership and decision-making.

As the PCB chairman, he needs to safeguard Pakistan’s rights while ensuring the best outcomes for Pakistan cricket. The best approach is to capitalize on this moment if full control over the matter is not possible. Bargain and negotiate financially to secure substantial funds for the PCB. With sufficient financial resources, the PCB can develop strong future plans. However, with empty pockets, even the cricketers may not heed his authority.

He is approaching the situation as if he were in a war, mirroring the mindset of his superiors. On the international stage, at least, he needs to avoid such a shortsighted and defensive stance. The ICC might exploit Pakistan’s current weak political situation to shift the entire tournament out of the country.

Conclusion: Hybrid model with 6 group matches, and 1 semfinal in Pakistan is a viable solution. And if Pakistan/India agrees on no playing each other in home countries in near future then Pakistan will have to travel to UAE to play India which is broadcasters requirement for this tournament.

This is going to be ends very ugly for PCB that Pakistan fans , Experts or PCB doens't even think about that..

Now if pakistan accept the Hybrid model than it will be Humiliation for them after all these fake bravado like we will not sell ourselves etc

If Pakistan is not ready to accept the hybrid model than icc have only Two options ( Postponed the champion trophy is last option)

1) Host to entire champion trophy in pakistan without India (99.99% no chance )

2) Host the entire champion trophy outside Pakistan with Pakistan remain the host

In this case PCB can take few stand like
a) Pakistan ready to Play - No problem for anyone ( But indian fans will mock Pakistan fans ,bola tha na ki champion trophy ni hogi Pakistan m)
b) Pakistan threaten to boycott the champion trophy- in this case ICC can give another country hosting rights( it will be not so easy but they have no option left) and face some lose but BCCI can compensate that money as they will likely to host.

So moral of story - Dont take a bold stand just sake for some Pakistan fan's where no option left for negotiation or bending back .

Most of organisations do not close the all the door and always ready for backup plan but current PCB boards is incompetent to think like this.

Right, at the moment I don’t think the PCB cares about taunts from Indian fans and Journalists. They mean nothing.

What the PCB has worked out is that the fixture between India and Pakistan is their smoking gun. It doesn’t affect the BCCI, but the broadcasters clearly will not accept any model, be it hybrid or whatever without a Pakistan v India guaranteed fixture.

They may take the hit once, but then there are also 3 more ICC tournaments where India is host and the broadcasters have a commitment with the ICC.

IMO, PCB should continue to stand their ground and see what happens. Boycott it if they must. I think they will get there way eventually. There is too much money at stake if India v Pakistan is completely ceased at an ICC main event level.

 

[Rana]

Who’s more desperate?

PCB wanting India to come to Pakistan

Or BCCI wanting PCB to accept hybrid model?

Pakistan expert are thinking that Pakistan vs india game is alone bring 50% revenue and rest of matches are generated 50%

This is totally bogus claim and they will get the reality check once they boycott any ICC events

Jay shah will definitely challenge this bluff at some point if PCB is thinking like that .

If Pakistan is that important than why BCCI is generated so much money through IPL and IPL broadcasting right are bigger than any ICC events .indian fans Will watch the Indian game in any ICC tournaments regardless of which team they are playing although pak vs india matches gets more hype or watched because of our history .

ICC broadcasting rights for Indian territory is close to 3bn but Why ICC does not sell seperate rights for pakistan territory if they are so much important like india? .

India- Pakistan game is alone maximum can generated 15% revenues . that's it.

IMO, PCB should continue to stand their ground and see what happens. Boycott it if they must. I think they will get there way eventually. There is too much money at stake if India v Pakistan is completely ceased at an ICC main event level.
