Abu Dhabi's Crown Prince asks BCCI and ACC to stage 2018 Asia Cup in Abu Dhabi [Update Post #257]

[Usman Chadda]

An Asia Cup without Pakistan will be a joke. Who will they replace Pakistan with, Hong Kong?

 

[iniqbal223]

Let India play yet another tri series in form of Asia cup 2018.

Pak should boycott this Asia cup until bi-lateral series is restored.Relations with India already spoilt, no point now supporting liars, who retract from their own agreement. I mean , point of contention is not whether MoU guarantees a bilateral series, but BCCI continuous claim they have not signed it.

 

[iniqbal223]

This is an arm-twisting tactic by BCCI. They always say GoI don't give them permission. This is their damn problem, not PCB's. When time of Bilateral series come they always say govt is not interested, however, when ICC/Asia cup comes, suddenly their Govt. becomes good host. This is all $$.

In 2015, they made noise, ohhh, Pakistan cant come in India for 2016 T20. And suddenly half of their Bollywood ******** are in Kolkata watching this game. If they are so patriotic, boycott the game.

Beggere are not choosers ... BCCI will decide whom and when and where Team India will play

Other boads can go to ICC and complain !

 

[PakLFC]

Asia Cup is boring. Couldn't care less if it never happens again. No one care about it and neither should they. Most teams of the subcontinent other then Bangladesh have won it many times.

 

[Kohrodha123]

If India refused to play with Pakistan in uae where no security concern involved then its Pakistan's turn to fight back with withdraw from Asia cup why favor Bcci when other don't care for you.....

Because the pcb is not in a financial position to call the shots or bully anyone , we desperately need India for money


The only way we can call the shots if intl cricket comes back to Pakistan and the psl is held in Pakistan and the tournament fully exploited to its max with a Pakistan audience which could be a big cash cow for Pakistan then we couldn't care less if India plays or not , but cricket coming back that isn't happening anytime soon

PCB will decide where, whom and when Pakistani team will play.
ECB will decide where, whom and when English team will play.
CA will decide where, whom and when Australian team will play.

It's the job of the governing board to decide where, with whom and when their teams will play.
Other than stating the obvious, what's your point?

Sri Lanka to host Asia Cup 2018?

Sri Lanka is set to host the upcoming Men’s Asia Cup 2018 in September after, India, the original hosts, showed reluctance in having the Pakistan cricket team over, prompting the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) to change the venue of the tournament.....

“We are in the process of finalizing certain details of the tournament but the hosting rights have been given to Sri Lanka.”

[shokz1408]

Woohoo should be fun in Sri Lanka! Pakistan to take the Asia Cup this year.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Good decision.

 

[emranabbas]

Excellent decision looking forward to Asia cup 2018 I think we have a decent Awais now and can take this cup home easy

Have the BCCI now started picking and choosing what tournament they want to host?

Thats always the case. The hosting board has to be ready to host the tournament. Its not binding to host a tournament if you dont want to.

True but call a spade a spade, BCCI and GOI are being hypocrates here. This is a game of cricket not financial business deals.

 

[Rana]

This is embarrassing for Everyone really. Would much rather not participate and let India host a lifeless tri series Asia cup and let them further de value the brand of cricket due to the Indian governments stubborness. Sooner or later it will be the Indian fans demanding BCCI to give them the team that humiliated them on Father's Day

 

[IndianFan2018]

True but call a spade a spade, BCCI and GOI are being hypocrates here. This is a game of cricket not financial business deals.

Bro ...PCB used the same tactic long back involving politics in cricket tours. Also recently, PCB not inviting BD team to UAE to avoid loses, so why double standards.

So no moral rights for PCB to question GoI/BCCI policies. PCB are biggest hypocrites in that sense.

End of the day, bilateral series will only happen when both boards are on same page, which will not going to happen in near future. End of debate on Indo-Pak bilaterals...

I love being in PP, will be the first person to wishing to see Ind - Pak test series any where on the planet, afraid will be dream for us to see it really happen !

 

[j_kazmi]

I’d rather they carry on hosting it in Bangladesh. It’s gonna be empty crowds in most matches if we’re playing it in Sri Lanka.

Atleast the bengali crowd shows up for neutral matches.

Fair points. I am just sad politics is coming into play in this beautiful game. Either India, BD or Afg .. it should be played as a game not for politics.

Then it could be Ind,BD,SL,AFG,NEP tournament. Who cares,isn't it?

 

[Lonewarrior]

so whats this time, t-20 or 50 Overs format?

 

[Gubol123]

I have a feeling India will send a India A team. India would have come back from a grueling series in England and would be looking to get their backups tested.. Expect a low key team from India for Asia cup. I expect the cup to be won by either SL or Pak

Dude, PCB is one of the poorest boards. You talk like your board is dictating the proceedings. Later on don't whinge that bcci is bullying or isolating pcb, etc

PCB isn't one of the poorest boards, in the current ICC financial cycle it will be receiving the same amount as Cricket Australia, highlighting it's worth. Only the ECB and BCCI are worth more, and the latter is only worth more for the current cycle, after that it will receive money on the level of the ECB.

Compare the facilities in both countries. Pak requires more money per capita to match the resources provided in AUS

A - I did not reply to you, but since you have replied B - can you provide me with data that shows Pakistan has higher running costs than Australia and what percentage of the cut they should be receiving from the ICC?

Thanks.

A. This is not a one to one chat room. I can reply to anyone and anyone can reply to me.
B. I didn't say Pak has higher running costs. I said Pak needs more money per capita. You have more cricketers to train, more schools, colleges and more people than Australia. SO, you need more money per capita. Pakistan should receive atleast half of what BCCI gets to improve the game with good facilities.

This is where someone who is just spouting nonsense for the sake of hatred gets caught out. First you're saying you did not say running costs are higher but what you are describing is exactly running costs. You sound ridiculous, first stating the PCB is one of the poorer boards and when I dissect that lie of an argument with facts, you write something about "per capita"...per capita what? Who said costs would be higher within Pakistan? You do realise there are more rupees from US dollars than Aus dollars from US?

I'm done unless you can bring me financial evidence that I asked for.

Reading comprehension issues along with financial illeteracy can make one spout garbage like you just did. I can get that. However, the big issue with you is not being able to understand what per capita means. Per capita is "for each person". Considering Pakistan has more people, more cricket playing people, they will need more resources to maintain the same standards or facilities as Australia.

For example a person making 1000 dollars a month with a family of 2 has better quality of life than a person making the same amount of money with a family of 6 people. So, he needs more money to live a higher quality of life. The cost to build an academy might be cheaper in pakistan than in Australia due to convertion rates or what not, but you will need a lot more academies than Australia because you have more people. That's as clear as I can say.

I know what per capita means but you are using that as a way of claiming the 130+ million US dollars Pakistan will receive over the current financial cycle of 4 years is not enough. In fact, I GUARANTEE YOU did not even know how much the PCB was receiving and probably thought it was on the same level as AF r something, hence your poor comment.

Now the question I asked you is very simple, why is a $130 million dollars + not enough for the PCB? Is the PCB, knowing what I have now told you, still one of the poorest boards? Or have you changed your opinion? And what data do you have that say, just because Pakistan may have more professional cricketers, its running costs, in US dollars, is higher than Aus? How much money is brought into the PCB via sponsorships which are separate from ICC cash? Why does that not help the domestic game? What about tv deals and international syndication?

Once again, I'll be waiting, for the final time, on you presenting me with financial data.

Sorry to interject in your fun. You guys seem to be enjoying the dual. But I think what Rhony was driving at is that Pak (and India, BD, SL) will have to spend a lot of money to get to the same level as Aus/Eng as far as facilities are concerned. That is true. BCCI's revenue is possibly ten times that of Aus board but they spend differently. Australia mostly already has the infrastructure and they need to spend to maintain and in up keeping them whereas India (and other subcontinent teams) will need to first establish that infrastructure. It will take few decades to hit the same per capita level as that of Aus and after that they will need around 35 times to maintain at the same level as that of Australia. This is assuming it take half as much expenses to maintain the infrastructure at the same level as that of Aus. This is because India's population is approximately 70 times that of Aus and assuming 50% cheaper maintenance cost, India will need spend that much to maintain the infra once they establish that

Assuming that purchasing power of $ in Pak is same as in India (not true) the amount per capita that Pak is getting is quite less compared to what Aus is getting. assuming they get 130 million, which works out to be around 70 cents per per person for four years is pretty less compared to what Aus will be getting (around 7$ per person for four years). Knowing that most of the money that Pak gets will need to be spent towards capital expenditure (which needs more money upfront) rather that maintenance, Pak will need more money now to have any chance of hitting the same level of infrastructure as Aus even in 50 years time.

This is exactly the same issue BCCI is having. They get to tag that they are richest board, but the amount that they are getting is nowhere near what they need to establish the same kind of quality infrastructure as that of Aus or England. it will take India at least two decades to reach any level of parity. Infrastructure in India looks great now (50+ intl stadiums) when you take the absolute numbers. But if we compare the relative and per capita availability it is nowhere as much as Australia or England. it might be even less when compared to SL and SA

First of all, I did not say PCB is poor. Go read. I said PCB will need more money per capita than Australia.
1) PCB receives 128 mil. Also it is not for a 4 year cycle as you mentioned. It's over the cycle of 2016- 2023. That's for 8 years. That's about 16 million dollars a year.

2) As per tribune.com.pk, the TV broadcast rights are worth 150 mil from 2015 to 2020. However, 60 percent of that is subject to India touring Pakistan. Since that ain't happening, add 60 mil for the 5 year cycle and that comes down to 12 mil per year.

3) As per reports, PSL earned close to 5 million dollars of profit last year. The numbers are not out yet for this year. The broadcast deal for 4 years was 15 mil as per ipfs below. Sponsorship deals associated including the title deal is upwards of 6 miliion.

As per defence.pk, PCB spends about 43 million on national and international cricket every year.
When you look at all the revenues, it tops out at 40 mil. I might have not included other sources but these are the major streams of revenue. There is also a one time revenue of 93 mil from selling the franchises.

The point is, PCB doesn't make much. Hence the anxiety about India series. Where is the money for grass roots development? The facilities as per many posters here are bad because of a reason. PCB needs lot more money than ACB because ACB is projected to make close to 800 million AUD just from television rights in the next cycle starting this year. They don't necessarily need a handout from ICC compared to Pakistan

It was old deal due to the big 3 deal and i am sure that india won.t be inculded in 2020 right sell .i am sure if pcb can survive the islolation of cricket at home from 9 years they will survive playing without india in bilaterial as they sucessfully did from 2011 to 2015

As an Indian fan, I dont understand why the govt or BCCI wont play the Asia cup and not tour UAE. When was the last time India had a test series with Pakistan. I think it was in 2008 or something. There would be a renewed interest to see Kohli v Amir just as it was between Sachin and Wasim. We are playing in SL when their army shoots and kills Tamil Nadu fisherman. Asia cup would be nothing without India or Pakistan and a weak SL team is not going to help it either.

One year, because the PCB babus are facing PR heat over "fact-finding" trips to the caribbean, they release a budget that show them being more profitable than Cricket Australia who hosted the world cup. Next year, because they are lobbying for a "hardship" handout from the ICC, they release a budget that shows millions in losses.

Its all a big JHOL.

Even if PCB tries to act tough by refusing to go along with an Asia cup hosted in India, BCCI has a lot of options - it can shift it to SL and share the revenue. Or do the same in BD. Or even give up the revenue in exchange for other future tournaments. Not like BCCI needs the Asia cup revenue that badly anyway. They are going to get 3.5 BILLION dollars in the next 5 years simply from broadcast fees. Sponsors etc is on top of that.

I person I replied to originally said "Dude, PCB is one of the poorest boards."

Now you replied AGAINST my point, which means you were either in favour of what he was saying OR you should not have butted in.

Since you have done so, you have failed to highlight, for the 5th post in a row, the running costs of what is happening. Good bye.

I listed the costs and revenues and explained my point. I probably forgot to"bold" the figures there. I'm guessing that's what u meant by highlight. Because I just handed the numbers with links to you. If it's difficult for you to comprehend, then good luck with your delusions.

Good news. Hopefully it's a 50 over tournament. Need as many ODI games as possible before 2019 WC.

ACC or ICC. There's only one Don who calls the shots. And one that runs behind him screaming "MoU! MoU!"

Its amazing how proud some Indian fans are of their board being a bully. I guess ethics/morals dont really mean much to some people.

When ENG and AUS literally bullying all SC boards no one complained.... Tables have turned for good

So two wrongs make a right? if what Eng/Aus did was wrong than why repeat the same thing?

BCCI is not doing any harm other to boards except Pak for obvious reasons. BCCI helping poor boards SL, ZIM, AFG, WI with multiple tours ...
IPL is providing 10% player fee to respective boards.

ENG / AUS for decades looked after only themselves, AFG, SL and BD have benefitted from BCCI lot more than Ireland, Scotland etc from ENG, on top of that ENG poaching players from Ireland

Ethics/ morals have no value in this world, $$$ is everything, For example see the Chinese they steal, blackmail the western companies and take their technology by using their big market as bargain and now they are force, they didn't wait until somebody come and help or go begging for help, they found their own way by hook or crook

BCCI getting big pay day may not directly impact/ help any Indian fans...but definitely it will help improve Indian sports facilities and businesses which will be created surrounding IPL and International Home matches. Which will help millions of daily workers, small businesses and transport entities across India. So overall positive impact for Indian Economy 2

Asia cup is another irrelevant ridiculous tournament which defines the mediocrity of cricket these days.

India should withdraw themselves from that series and play a tri-series with Australia and South Africa( these two are having a bilateral series during the same time).

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Then BCB shouldn't have stabbed BCCI in the back by voting against it in the ICC 'red wedding' that happened recently. Now BCCI's iron brother SLC will reap the rewards of loyalty! 2

BCB already reap the rewards 3 times in a row. Other should get at least once,isn't it?

BCCI knows how to keep friendly boards happy (BCB, SL, AFG).... and how to treat cunning opportunistic boards like ENG / AUS / SA (read Logart episode)

BCB is always been in good terms with BCCI.. starting from ex. ICC President Dalmiya regime, where he pushed for Bangladesh's test status claim.

Ind vs BD - on field rivalry is certainly not same as diplomatic ties between respective boards.

Only mishap in recent times was BCB voting against BCCI.

As BCCI itself is tangled with Honorable SC / CoA conflicts, still no obvious sign of change in diplomatic ties between the boards is seen

VS (May or May Not Be) ...!

If the Naagin dance can rejuvenate Bangladesh then why not by all means. It will be interesting to sse how the Pakistani team fares against them.
