Bangladesh refuses to travel to India for T20 World Cup 2026 (Update @ post#84)

[CrIc_Mystique]

I am happy if BD's all matches are shifted to SL. hope the powers that be, take the decision very soon.

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

BCB is acknowledging that ICC did communicate with them and is willing to address their concerns.

I read this as meaning that Bangladesh will of course play their matches in India

https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/...-about-playing-t20-world-cup-in-india-1518430

Everyone can claim a win. Games goes on

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

When small minds sit in big offices, these things are bound to happen.

Amazing then that the real big minds sitting in big offices still have to approach the World bank/IMF/ADB/ for their regular biryani kebabs and the small minds in big offices pay their own bills and also get highest civilian awards from about 20 odd countries..

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Ireland needs to go away.

Start with the 8.

Limit ICC distributions to matching what the boards can generate on their own.

ICC still has to spend money.

Consider it like a marketing campaign, you have to spend money to create a market before it becomes sustainable.

Also you need to make sure that the existing market doesn't stagnate by introducing new teams and areas.
These rookie boards won't generate money for a while.

I am not sure what the end game is with Indians here and their unwillingness to grow the game. Ultimately is your dream for cricket for to be played amongst Indians only? It is genuinely weird we have fans that do not want the game to grow, but rather want it to stagnate and shrink.

 

[Rajdeep]

Last 2 ICC events in Asia and both time drama. Last time by PCB during Champions Trophy and now BCB during WT20.

What is wrong with these boards? They should focus on onfield perf.

#Shame

When you can't win anything on field they will do drama off-field.

I seriously thought nothing would top the "India ne Baees pundat bithaye" diamond explosion of ilm from CT 2025....and then comes along post #359 on this thread

 

[cricketjoshila]

Going through such threads, I like to remind myself that there are also decent Ind posters out there. Just that most are happy to parrot their state’s narrative without applying any critical analysis of their own.

Honestly such a poor move by BCCI but as expected it’s been defended and justified by the chest-thumping, mildly educated, right-wing Ind dudes that we have no shortage of here on pp

What is your education?

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

If BCCI is willing to address their concerns then that means that they are not looking for hostile relations with BCB. Better to nip it in the bud. The sport of cricket has already become heavily politicized in South Asia, we don't need two more countries going at each other.

If only Bangladesh channeled even 10% of this jazba in being better at sports, they would be regarded so much better.

ICC still has to spend money.

ICC should spend that they can afford to

Consider it like a marketing campaign, you have to spend money to create a market before it becomes sustainable.

How many new sustainable markets has ICC developed in the past 3 decades?

Also you need to make sure that the existing market doesn't stagnate by introducing new teams and areas.

These rookie boards won't generate money for a while.

Define a while.

ICC also needs to be realistic. established markets like Pakistan can't sustain themselves without handouts from ICC then one has to accept that

I am not sure what the end game is with Indians here and their unwillingness to grow the game. Ultimately is your dream for cricket for to be played amongst Indians only? It is genuinely weird we have fans that do not want the game to grow, but rather want it to stagnate and shrink.

Let all the permanent members contribute an equal amount to this growth budget and they all can equally share the future benefits.

I'll be ok if high quality cricket is played among few than crappy cricket among many.

Eg. Baseball is played at its highest level in the US and mostly US

 

[shariqnoor]

For over a decade, BCCI has refused to play Pakistan in Pakistan on the pretext that the Government of India has not allowed them clearance to travel in light of security issues. ICC has accepted that reason for India to play its cricket matches outside of Pakistan.

BCB gives the same reason that the Government of Bangladesh has advised them not to travel to India in the current climate based on security issues.

Guess what? ICC doesn't accept this reason from BCB. This is the definition of hypocrisy. ICC will accept Government of India's security assessment but will not accept Government of Bangladesh's security assessment.

A Bangladeshi cricketer on its own is not allowed to play in India, but we'll welcome him if he comes with a complete team. What a joke.

Don't you think its better for the sport if other boards ostracize BCCI and kick them out of ICC? Imagine the kumbaya spirit at ICC with no politicking and primary focus on growing the game. ECB and CA can run the game the way they used to whihc seems to be very popular among many here

I think it's more to do with the timing, which will be an absolute logistical nightmare for both ICC and the broadcasters. The schedule has been out and tickets have been sold, not to mention three teams will be playing their games exclusively in Sri Lanka already.

ICC rejecting this request will have less to do with the BCCI and more to do with broadcasters' pressure on the ICC.

Lol we love our biryani’s and kebabs and feel sorry for people who live in masala dosa and bhel puri. It is a false global perception that Pakistan is a poor country. The standard of living is higher then India and the country has build a monstrous arsenal to destroy and wipe off its adventurous neighbours.

Do you really believe Bangladesh matches will be outside India? Yes or no? That's all this is about. So if you genuinely believe it, make a commitment then and stand by it.

I can bet my house you will be wrong as usual and then skulk away and never appear on this thread. That's been the modus operandi of you guys for a long time, declare earlier victory and then skulk away when the dust settles wns reality is shown.

It is a lose lose situation for Indian government infront of their right wing audience.

Pakistan doesn't get handouts from ICC. It has earned it through the money that Indian Pakistan matches bring in ICC events.

ICC makes money from mostly broadcasters who are majorly Indian. Without Indian cricket, they won’t get those billion dollar deals. That’s what gets distributed among other members .

Take out BCCI and you are left with Pak vs WI A Tapal tea series which even Pakistanis will not watch after a while.

So while Pak gets a good cut for being a big cricket market, it still is a BCCI handout as Ramiz Raja, Najam Sethi themselves acknowledged.

Naqvi is probably a Pak army stooge so of course he has to sell you a chooran. ICC is zilch without BCCI money. How much eyeballs or revenue do you think some random Tapal series with some A or B team in a secure war zone will make?lol.

BCCI informed the ICC even before the schedule was prepared.

BCB has informed to ICC after schedule is already announced and ICC would have already made logistics ready

It's logistical nightmare for ICC to accommodate BCB request now

Request should be made before the announcement of schedule

ICC presents the schedule to every board before making schedule public that is the time request for any changes

Who will bear those costs?

And another most important point Bangladesh didn't have any security problem before BCCI Exclude Fizz from the IPL.

So suddenly there is security problem for them ?

We are not blind, this was a decision from bangladesh interim govt just for local audience which will now backfire

You are getting unnecessarily emotional again puttar, these copy paste arguments are getting a bit boring.

Nobody mentioned "Without Indian Cricket" or "take out BCCI". So your post is redundant. Nor is there any such thing as a BCCI handout.

And there is no need to use this type of language regarding secure war zones given the current security situation in India that is preventing two teams from touring or regarding Naqvi etc when your board is basically an excercise in nepotism and government cronyism.

Your tone is, however, noted.

When Pakistan threatened to pull out of playing with India your TV companies cacked their pants so hard it resembled the Ganges.This is the reality. For this current Asia cup, your own TV Indians put pressure on your government to force them to play Pakistan because they couldn't bear the losses. All sindoors, mumbais, jawaans memories etc were tossed into a shitpile and set on fire for a few bucks that playing Pakistan plays.

India said no to play in Pak, got hybrid model, got their money making Ind-Pak match, cherry on top totally owned the Pak team. Public happy, $$$ made, win-win. Pak could have refused by the way but they wanted some chump change/handout.

Women’s World Cup, a minnow team like Pak women’s team got their hybrid model because BCCi/ICC works fair , couldn’t win a single game,yet India-Pak match held, Indian board made $$$, India trashed Pak, money made, public happy, win-win. Again Pak swallowed pride for some chump change.

So yeah, all you can do is yell on top of your lungs from the whatever ghetto you are from and get frustrated on here. I will sound redundant all day because facts don’t change. If it makes you squirm that extra bit, no issues, will hit you with facts all day , you have 0 stand here lol. I think you are dreaming of shtpile because you probably can’t go due to the pichwaada burn BCCi has been providing to you

Don’t you know anyone outside of a tent is considered characterless. I mean if seeing Navels of women/ girls wearing sarees which is a traditional dress can make these guys drool (not my words, there is an active discussion on it on the forum) so I am sure women participating in a cultural dance would absolutely blow a fuse for desert dwellers like @DeadlyVenom , different cultural sensibilities I guess. Will give it a pass.

Bangladesh is a good market for cricket. They are cricket mad even though output has been poor. You gotta keep hope that they will come good. Too big a country in terms of population to discard.

Scotland will hopefully do a bit better. There was a euro T20 slam scheduled a while back but it keeps getting postponed year on year which could hopefully bring in some franchise money.But honestly it won't be a huge market for the game overall and will likely need subsidised for a long time.

If India had withdrawn at the last moment from coming to Pakistan for an event for which the broadcast deals and tickets had already been sold, would ICC have told BCCI to come or forfeit games? Do you really believe that? No. ICC would've bent over backwards to accommodate BCCI.

So, let's not use logistical nightmare arguments to justify a clear double standard here.

Regarding, Bangladesh didn't have a security problem before but had one after a player was kicked out of IPL, tell me why didn't Indian government and BCCI raise issues when Champions Trophy was allocated to Pakistan but waited till the end to tell ICC that they will not travel to Pakistan because "security issues"?

The problem here is re-scheduling at the last minute with a month to go. There is an interim government and a revolt in Bangladesh not in India. If it was Sheikh Hasina issue, then they should have let BCCI know ahead of time.

If tomorrow Amazon or Google gives someone a job offer, they can take it back immediately with 0 liability and nothing the person can do. If a private franchise like KKR has dropped Fizz, then suddenly Bangladesh can’t say security issue. It’s a red flag this late in the day.

So 2 options- forfeit or suck up and play.

Also it’s called value for money, now just for Bangladesh the schedule has to be changed for other teams playing against them as well. Bangladesh vs Italy etc barely draws any viewership or crowd. So it’s not worth it for ICC or BCCI. They might appease Bangladesh and give them some carrot like an extra series or something at best. If push comes to shove, they will say good bye. It’s not that complicated. What exactly are you expecting?

'Not at the cost of national humiliation': Bangladesh press for venue shift​

Asif Nazrul, Bangladesh government's sports advisor, said on Wednesday that he would try his best to convince the International Cricket Council (ICC) to relocate Bangladesh's venues for the ICC T20 World Cup, insisting that the governing body of the sport had failed to grasp the gravity of Bangladesh's concerns.

Cricbuzz had earlier reported that Nazrul was expected to meet with BCB directors to assess the situation after the board received a letter from the ICC, following Bangladesh's formal request for a venue change. The BCB had informed the ICC that Bangladesh were unable to travel to India in the aftermath of the recent controversy surrounding Mustafizur Rahman, after the BCCI asked Kolkata Knight Riders to release the Bangladesh pacer.

While the ICC, in its response to the BCB, maintained a status quo on Bangladesh's World Cup fixtures and indicated that it had received no information suggesting security concerns for Bangladesh during the tournament, Nazrul strongly disagreed.

"We sat together with the BCB directors - Bulbul [Aminul Islam] bhai, Faruque bhai and everyone else. Today we discussed the situation and we all agreed that Bangladesh earned qualification for the T20 World Cup through hard work. We are a cricket-crazy nation and we definitely want to play," Nazrul told reporters after the meeting on Wednesday.

"But we do not want to play the World Cup at the cost of national humiliation, at the cost of the security of our cricketers, spectators and journalists, or at the cost of the country's dignity. After reading the letter we received from the ICC today, it felt to us that they have not fully understood the serious security situation that has developed in India for Bangladeshi cricketers," he said.

"To me, it does not feel like only a security issue - it feels like an issue of national humiliation as well. Still, we are primarily treating it as a security issue. When the Indian cricket board itself is telling the Kolkata team that they cannot provide security to this player [Mustafizur], and asking them to drop him from the team - that alone shows there is no environment in India where it is safe to play," he said.

"We do not want to go into the wider communal situation in India. But when it comes to the security of our cricketers, the security of Bangladesh, and the honour and dignity of Bangladesh - there will be no compromise. We want to play cricket, we want to play the World Cup, and since there is another host country, Sri Lanka, we want to play there. We are firm on this position.

"Why we are firm on this position? We hope we will be able to explain that to the ICC. And we hope the ICC will consider our arguments impartially and allow us to play in the T20 World Cup that we have earned through hard work," he said.

"Our first stand is to convince the ICC. We have strong arguments and we will convince them with those arguments. The core principle of our stand is that on the question of Bangladesh's security, Bangladesh's honour and Bangladesh's dignity, there will be no compromise. But we definitely want to play the Cricket World Cup," Nazrul said.

Nazrul added that Bangladesh would decide on its future course of action based on the ICC's response.

"The letter [to ICC] will be sent tonight or by tomorrow morning and after that, whatever the situation becomes, we will sit and take a decision. So far, our decision is clear: we will explain to the ICC that there is no environment in India for us to play safely," he said.

BCB president Aminul Islam echoed the sentiments expressed by Nazrul, reiterating that the board's concerns extended beyond the players alone.

"You have heard that we told the ICC how important our security concerns are. We do have the ability to look after the players. But beyond that, there is a large group involved - journalists, sponsors, and cricket-loving spectators. Ensuring security for everyone is not possible for the board alone, which is why we are seeking government directives. For any overseas tour, we need a government order. We came to inquire about that order. If safety and security are not improved, we will continue to fight for our rights in this World Cup," said Bulbul.

"We are talking about reasonable issues. We have played in so many World Cups - have we ever raised such concerns before? It is because we genuinely felt the need this time that we raised it strongly," he said.

"We will explain this to the ICC, just as our honourable minister has said. There have been similar events in the past due to security issues. The very reason for hybrid tournaments is security. We hope we will be able to establish our reasons properly.

"India did not go to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy. Pakistan will not go to India either. We hope to get a proper answer [from ICC]," he said.

Aminul also dismissed reports suggesting that the ICC had already ruled out relocating Bangladesh's matches to Sri Lanka.
"There is a propaganda going around that the ICC has said playing in Sri Lanka is not possible. I would call that propaganda - false news. We have had one communication with the ICC. They asked what the issues were, and we informed them. We will now send them in writing what those issues are," he concluded.

We are a cricket-crazy nation and we definitely want to play," Nazrul told reporters after the meeting on Wednesday.

"But we do not want to play the World Cup at the cost of national humiliation, at the cost of the security of our cricketers, spectators and journalists, or at the cost of the country's dignity. After reading the letter we received from the ICC today, it felt to us that they have not fully understood the serious security situation that has developed in India for Bangladeshi cricketers," he said.

"To me, it does not feel like only a security issue - it feels like an issue of national humiliation as well. Still, we are primarily treating it as a security issue. When the Indian cricket board itself is telling the Kolkata team that they cannot provide security to this player [Mustafizur], and asking them to drop him from the team - that alone shows there is no environment in India where it is safe to play," he said.

"We do not want to go into the wider communal situation in India. But when it comes to the security of our cricketers, the security of Bangladesh, and the honour and dignity of Bangladesh - there will be no compromise. We want to play cricket, we want to play the World Cup, and since there is another host country, Sri Lanka, we want to play there. We are firm on this position.

"Why we are firm on this position? We hope we will be able to explain that to the ICC. And we hope the ICC will consider our arguments impartially and allow us to play in the T20 World Cup that we have earned through hard work," he said.

"Our first stand is to convince the ICC. We have strong arguments and we will convince them with those arguments. The core principle of our stand is that on the question of Bangladesh's security, Bangladesh's honour and Bangladesh's dignity, there will be no compromise. But we definitely want to play the Cricket World Cup," Nazrul said.

Nazrul added that Bangladesh would decide on its future course of action based on the ICC's response.

"The letter [to ICC] will be sent tonight or by tomorrow morning and after that, whatever the situation becomes, we will sit and take a decision. So far, our decision is clear: we will explain to the ICC that there is no environment in India for us to play safely," he said.

BCB president Aminul Islam echoed the sentiments expressed by Nazrul, reiterating that the board's concerns extended beyond the players alone.

"You have heard that we told the ICC how important our security concerns are. We do have the ability to look after the players. But beyond that, there is a large group involved - journalists, sponsors, and cricket-loving spectators. Ensuring security for everyone is not possible for the board alone, which is why we are seeking government directives. For any overseas tour, we need a government order. We came to inquire about that order. If safety and security are not improved, we will continue to fight for our rights in this World Cup," said Bulbul.

"We are talking about reasonable issues. We have played in so many World Cups - have we ever raised such concerns before? It is because we genuinely felt the need this time that we raised it strongly," he said.

"We will explain this to the ICC, just as our honourable minister has said. There have been similar events in the past due to security issues. The very reason for hybrid tournaments is security. We hope we will be able to establish our reasons properly.

"India did not go to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy. Pakistan will not go to India either. We hope to get a proper answer [from ICC]," he said.

Aminul also dismissed reports suggesting that the ICC had already ruled out relocating Bangladesh's matches to Sri Lanka.
"There is a propaganda going around that the ICC has said playing in Sri Lanka is not possible. I would call that propaganda - false news. We have had one communication with the ICC. They asked what the issues were, and we informed them. We will now send them in writing what those issues are," he concluded.

Now its not security but national pride, anything to beg icc

 

[emranabbas]

Such a humiliation aye, CT won by?
Asia Cup, the Cup that PCT choked upon and left Agha nearly in tears as he threw his losers cheque, won by??

Answers on back of a post card...

Now go do Attan....

I love how Indians start doing ping-pong when they get humiliated off the field. The moment their political chest-thumping collapses, suddenly the topic changes to, ‘Oh but we won.’

You were loudly claiming the BCCI would snatch the tournament from Pakistan and move it to South Africa without Pakistan. That never happened.

You also said India would refuse to play Pakistan after the Pahalgam incident as it would be an insult to victims of Pahalgam and you would push to kick Pakistan out completely.
But in the end, India still played pakistan. So the victims of pahalgam worth a drop of urine?

Now your claiming icc wont shift venue for Bangladesh and doing bhanra wait till reality hits you hard

 

[shariqnoor]

There’s history of teams getting attacked in Pakistan, but nothing like that in India, so bcci and bcb situation is not the same,

It happened in 2009. Are we going to hold Pakistan to account till eternity?

Indians threw stones at the Australian team bus in Guwahati which shattered the window.

I'm not trying to create an equivalence between the two incidents but the point I'm trying to make is incidents do happen but security assessments are done based on the current situation. I cannot say India is now not safe based on an incident in 2017 and neither is Pakistan unsafe based on an incident in 2009.

 

[sweep_shot]

Bangladesh should not play in India. They should play in SL.

If that is not arranged, BD withdraw from the World T20. Simple equation.

Bangladesh should refuse to play in India until India become free from sanghi extremists.

 

[shariqnoor]

Now its not security but national pride, anything to beg icc

This is quite poor from Bangladesh. Didn't need to involve national humiliation and national dignity points. Should've stuck to security which is a genuine reason and quite correct too given the sentiment present in India regarding Bangladesh. Bangladesh is unnecessarily making things hard for themselves.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Eloquent reply from our brothers in BCB.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

If you read behind the lines the Indians fully begging the ICC behind the scenes here. They are clearly rattled and planted all sorts of fake news.

 

[cricketjoshila]

Don't you think its better for the sport if other boards ostracize BCCI and kick them out of ICC? Imagine the kumbaya spirit at ICC with no politicking and primary focus on growing the game. ECB and CA can run the game the way they used to whihc seems to be very popular among many here

Pakistanis can’t generate enough revenue for the game but wSnt the main revenue source to be kicked out,

Ecbs league itself is having its teams owned by indians or Indian origin people and they will kick India out of ICC, Pakistanis and their dreams

 

[rpant_gabba]

Pakistan doesn't get handouts from ICC. It has earned it through the money that Indian Pakistan matches bring in ICC events.

Fair point. Given Pak teams performance on field, Pak cricket teams value is similar to cheerleaders

 

[BDfanforever]

BCB has shown some backbone by raising some concerns to ICC which is absolutely understandable. However, they need to de-escalate this now, and get on with the show. However, for future ICC tournaments held in IND, they need to have some sort of backup plan for PAK/BD/SRL. Also, BCCI need to reduce political influence in sports. Just because you have power doesn't mean one can abuse it.

That’s fair. Maybe for next tournament Bangladesh can inform in advance. The best they can do from this situation is maybe get an additional series. Since they didn’t refuse to play India, maybe a money making T20 series in Dubai or something will be offered. That’s about it. Re-scheduling isn’t practical.

Ah yes, the coping Olympics: when the team loses, switch to politics; when politics fails, invoke forum banter; when that runs out, scream kaanspiracy.

Sadly you have skirted the issue of Indians shutting up Pakistanis like you with their results, thats why you cant post much what happened in CT and Asia Cup on the ground.... tssssk

'Not at the cost of national humiliation': Bangladesh press for venue shift​

Asif Nazrul, Bangladesh government's sports advisor, said on Wednesday that he would try his best to convince the International Cricket Council (ICC) to relocate Bangladesh's venues for the ICC T20 World Cup, insisting that the governing body of the sport had failed to grasp the gravity of Bangladesh's concerns.

Cricbuzz had earlier reported that Nazrul was expected to meet with BCB directors to assess the situation after the board received a letter from the ICC, following Bangladesh's formal request for a venue change. The BCB had informed the ICC that Bangladesh were unable to travel to India in the aftermath of the recent controversy surrounding Mustafizur Rahman, after the BCCI asked Kolkata Knight Riders to release the Bangladesh pacer.

While the ICC, in its response to the BCB, maintained a status quo on Bangladesh's World Cup fixtures and indicated that it had received no information suggesting security concerns for Bangladesh during the tournament, Nazrul strongly disagreed.

"We sat together with the BCB directors - Bulbul [Aminul Islam] bhai, Faruque bhai and everyone else. Today we discussed the situation and we all agreed that Bangladesh earned qualification for the T20 World Cup through hard work. We are a cricket-crazy nation and we definitely want to play," Nazrul told reporters after the meeting on Wednesday.

"But we do not want to play the World Cup at the cost of national humiliation, at the cost of the security of our cricketers, spectators and journalists, or at the cost of the country's dignity. After reading the letter we received from the ICC today, it felt to us that they have not fully understood the serious security situation that has developed in India for Bangladeshi cricketers," he said.

So they are digging own grave here. Now no security concern but national humiliation

ICC will throw their request in dustbins at first instant. They have no real case

ICC & BCCI won't entertain hybrid model in future for Pakistan. This is the last of its kind.

-India won't compromised on their right to host ICC tournament in future after 2026 T20I WC.

The way ICC has given option to play in India or forfeit to BCB. Same will be the way to deal with PCB for future tournaments. Pakistan will have to come to India or can watch world cup from home.

You keep yelling about CT and Asia Cup “results,” but you conveniently ignore the fact that your whole narrative falls apart the moment you look at what’s actually happening right now. Bangladesh has refused to play in India. Two boards have openly raised security concerns. Hybrid options are already being discussed. And yet you still think you’ve “shut up” anyone?

Your being slapped around by tiny country like bangladesh and you still have the audacity to chest-thump.

So keep doing bhangra in your head if it helps you cope, because the truth is brutal:
Bangladesh isn’t stepping foot in India, and a tiny country like Bangladesh is forcing your matches your hosting out of your own backyard.

 

[tiger_khan]

The Indian wailing continues

Maybe CricIndo should write another fake news article to sooth the nerves of the wailing Indian posters

I can even propose a heading

"ICC at the Instructions of the BCCI, makes BCB grovel - unconfirmed report"

so you dont want to touch upon your team being slapped out of the tourney your country hosted and the finals held where??

and you dont want to touch upon your captain about to cry like a sissy girl as he kicked his losers cheque?

Guess the wound is too sore...

India shut up you and your ilk on the ground with performances, your lot can only rant on the threads.... on the field came out as fuddus and were kicked like mongrels...

I cannot say India is now not safe based on an incident in 2017 and neither is Pakistan unsafe based on an incident in 2009.

In one of the 1980s Pakistani tours to India, a Coach carrying Pak players were attacked by the Bhakts riding on motor bikes. Fortunately, no one got hurt but the attack took place

In 1990s Hindu Extremists dug out a cricket pitch in an Indian stadium to stop Pakistan from playing cricket. The extremists some how were able to breach the security of the stadium

Pakistani tourists were killed in 2007 bombing of Samjhauta Express, in India


India is a very dangerous place for Muslims to visit or tour

So it's OK

Let them lose in SL

What's the big deal then?


All the Indian YT streamers who claim that nobody watches BD games will do hours long discussion on BD matches even if the team plays in SL

These are the same hypocrites who cashed in the mourning period of a widow whose husband was murdered right in front of her eyes. They faked their outrage and projected that they will support the widow all the way. The widow subsequently demanded that the Asia Cup match between India and Pakistan should not be played/boycotted. The YT streamers and the Indian patrons on this forum left the poor widow hanging. Not only they watched the games in the tournament but they spent hours discussing each game.

Take every word of any Indian SM influencer with a grain of salt. They can't even follow through the promises they make to a mourning widow. They are Charlatans.

They will watch and discuss the BD WC games for hours, regardless of where ever they are played. They could be played on the streets where allegedly BD minorities are being attacked. The Indian SM influencers will still watch and discuss the games. They have a very weak character and resolve.

 

[Mainul]

Kudos and BD should stop all trade with India and cancel all treaties starting with Ganges water treaty. Given that it is gong to expire, BD should preemptively withdraw from the treaty

Trade isn't a big deal at all. There are many other countries to deal. Yes off course we shall withdraw from the treaty after taking our due share water

 

[Mainul]

There will be new Asia cup soon after excluding India.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Trade isn't a big deal at all. There are many other countries to deal. Yes off course we shall withdraw from the treaty after taking our due share water

I didn't even know that Holy Ganga river flowed into Bangladesh, do Hindus go for a dip in Bangladesh side?

Correct.

Bangladesh's biggest trade and military partner is China. There are other countries too. India is not important at all. If anything, India was always ripping BD off.

I want zero trade with India.

Water of it is very dirty.

Let's not call it a holy river. It is just a regular polluted river.

 

[tiger_khan]

Do you really believe Bangladesh matches will be outside India? Yes or no? That's all this is about. So if you genuinely believe it, make a commitment then and stand by it.

I can bet my house you will be wrong as usual and then skulk away and never appear on this thread. That's been the modus operandi of you guys for a long time, declare earlier victory and then skulk away when the dust settles wns reality is shown.

Firstly, I apologize if you were offended

With my limited interaction with you, I found you a serious cricket fan who comes to this forum primarily to discuss cricket, unlike some of your compatriots

Granted that sometimes you are drawn towards patriotism but it's only natural

My words were intended for those Indians who pollute this cricket forum on a daily basis with their inherent biases & obnoxious attitude. I didn't mean to offend the real cricket fans from India.

If you are offended by some of my benter, I apologize

You probably have noticed that we Pakistanis criticize our own people a lot too. We are very self-critical in nature. It's nothing against Indians like yourself

Particularly, any attempts by obnoxious Indians to humiliate any other country (not only Pakistan) will be returned in kind with interest. Despite the propaganda thrown towards you guys on a daily basis in India about the intellectual inferiority of Pakistanis and muslims in general, the truth is that on an average Pakistanis are more intellectual than Indians (my personal observations, I could be wrong). This is where the self-critique trait comes from. This is why unlike an average Indian, we are very critical of our rulers and don't get on the bandwagon of praise. Since I have travelled to India, believe you me, the urban life is not significantly different between the two countries. If anything the state of India aggressively markets itself but many are disappointed once they reach India.


As far as what I think about the BD situation is concerned, I have already mentioned in multiple posts of this thread that Cricinfo is misleading its readers. It was proven right by other news platforms. I really don't know what's gonna happen and the ICC and BCB are trying to solve the problem. Nevertheless, my political analysis is that due to the current political environment, BCB is not in a position to take a U-turn from its stance of not playing on Indian soil. It might cause political turmoil there

Also, the TV rights buyers and sponsors were already giving a hard time to the cricket bodies for this world Cup. They rather have BD games in SL and show some TV ads, instead of having no games

Hence I am leaning towards BD either boycotting or matches getting played in SL

But I could be wrong
