BCCI eschews question of Indian player’s participation in World XI against Pak

[waheed_sofi]

Mumbai: Board of Control for Cricket in India’s (BCCI) acting secretary, Amitabh Chaudhury, after the SGM on Monday said that BCCI will wait till the selection for World XI to Pakistan to decide about the availability of the Indian players.

“We should wait until the selection of the World XI players because if it clashes with any of India’s scheduled series then the players will not be up for selection anyway,” said Chaudhury.

International Cricket Council (ICC), on June 24, confirmed that plans are on for World XI to tour Pakistan; bringing back the cricket in the Asian country after almost a decade.

The ICC board said it had agreed to support a three-game Twenty20 series between Pakistan and a World XI in September, in a bid to help revive international cricket in the country.

All the matches would take place in Lahore and be accorded full Twenty20 international status, the ICC said, adding "further details will be announced in due course."

After Pakistan's stunning 180-run win over arch-rivals India in the final of the one-day international Champions Trophy tournament at The Oval last week, coach Mickey Arthur said he hoped the visit of the World XI would go ahead.

"We're scheduled to have a World XI in Pakistan in September for three Twenty20 games," he said.
"So hopefully that starts paving the way for future tours. We can only hope."

Pakistan captain Sarfraz Ahmed added: "I hope this win will boost Pakistan cricket and all the (major) playing nations will come to Pakistan.

India can always send Cricketers who are not usually in their First Eleven.

Like Dinesh Kartik or Shami or Pandey, nobody's expecting only Kohli to represent India in World Eleven.

Then ICC will be a joke, what's the point of a World Eleven if there are no players from all around the world?

But as I see it, excuses are ready regarding clash with other International series.

what have icc done when bcci reject pakistan series of MOU signed in big 3?? no indian player will come

i bet even indian umpire might pull out due to pressure from indian public

 

[MenInG]

The use of word eschew hahaha

 

[zn426]

I would say I don't think they'll send any players regardless. Perhaps we'll get lucky and some old Indian player will volunteer.

 

[emranabbas]

if india dont want to send their players its fine we dont need the, pcb please dont go begging

i don,t think PCB have asked for indian players as they know what to expect from bcci

 

[KhalidRafi]

Is the squad of players going to be current players or old legends? And what about the Pakistani team? It won't be a team of legends past their prime would it?

 

[coy0607]

No chance India sends anyone, I'm surprised the question even came up.

These are the same people who didn't want to play us in England in the CT not too long ago, and people seriously they will send players to Pakistan to support cricket there

 

[kaifmazhar]

Why to even look at them?

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

0 chance even if the BCCI wants to

Modi has adopted a shrewd tactic of isolating Pakistan at every level

 

[Azzurri]

Do we really need them? Not at all

 

[PakLFC]

There are plenty of players from other sides who can and will come. Never mind India and the BCCI.

 

[yokoonodie]

Pak isnt ready for international cricket yet, i remember speaking to me mum back home during the PSL finals and they shut down the entire city for 2-3 days. People were stuck in traffic for several hours and businesses were facing loss.

If PCB wants to host cricket again they need to invest in sport cities like the one being built in Karachi Baharia Town.
