[EXCLUSIVE] David Lloyd: "You can play against them, but you won't let their fans come and watch them"

If Modi Government elected back to power next year its a foregone conclusion that India will not visit Pakistan in 2025. Unless in the 3rd term Modi and whoever gets "selected" in Feb decide to mend relationship between the 2 countries. But I wish India goes to Pakistan. There are millions of Kohli and Rohit fans in Pakistan and that tournament may be the last for both the legendary cricketers. But we the public on both sides can only wish as its the higher powers that decide.

Nothing to do with the modi govt, India has stopped playing bilateral cricket with Pakistan since 2008, back when the Congress were in power.

Didn't we have the limited overs series in 2012-13.

If it was not the WC, Pakistani cricketers won't be allowed in India now also. Employment visas for pakistanis are simply not issued.

Its not India's responsibility to make pakistani team competitive or provide pakistani players with employment.

I didn’t say that, ask a England or Australian player how much they love playing the ashes and they’ll say it’s tops in there book, having a competitive rival keeps you honest and improves your cricket not to mention the bragging rights.

I’m sure the Indian players would love to play in Pakistan and vice versa more regularly and test themselves outside ICC events, whose saying it’s there jobs to provide us with employment when the Indian cricket board ban Pakistan players from the IPL?!

And it’s not just Pakistani nationals that had problems with visa’s, one of the British Pakistani journalist Atif Nawaz didn’t get a visa even though he only has a British passport!

Yup. Funny how that goes over peoples head. The congress govt got a lot of heat from the citizens for the 2012 series and made no effort for any further series

If you need to play X country Y number times to keep your self competitive, you need to ask yourself whether you are motivated enough to play for your country.

Indian players anyways play lot of cricket and until now have been keeping them selves motivated and competitive without playing pakistan.

Anyone of pakistani origin is treated as pakistani only, irrespective of their passport. Also if a person holds dual nationality, he has to apply for the Indian visa on his Pakistani passport only.

The Indians are scared of playing us regularly just in case we start beating them regularly, the political stuff is just a excuse, we’re ingrained in there Psyche whether they care to admit it or not

If that were the case, India would have stopped playing Pakistan in 1970’s to 80’s, stopped playing Windies in 1970’s and stopped playing Aussies in 1990’s or 2000’s

We would absolutely trash you in both tests and odis, home and away. The so called h2h advantage that you guys like to brag about and is the only thing you guys have remaining over India would vanish in a jiffy. So you should actually thank your stars we don't play each other regularly

Pakistan would get hammered in Tests anywhere.

Pakistan would lose most T20Is and ODIs against India.

 

[Thephenom]

Well all your replies to my post are mute as India will never play us bilaterally again so we’ll never know what the story would be

Tests and ODIs yes.

T20Is is anyone's game. Infact Pakistan may have a slight edge.

Shame that a World Cup with so much attendance could not accommodate Pakistan fans!

Absolutely disgusting, could you imagine a football WC with a host nation banning another country's fans simply because they didn't like them? FIFA wouldn't allow it to happen but money talks and BCCI hold all the cards unfortunately.
