bhai all that moral posturing is good, but how can you post with a straight face when PSL banned Afg players? I understand this is PP and India bashing is easier than winning an ICC tourney for PCT, however apne garibaan main bhi to jhaanko?
This is what happens when there is reliance on a single Entity to fund the whole enterprise (cricket), they evenutally bully other participants/members. Be it ICC or NATO.
Is it confirmed PCB has banned Afghan players? There has been no official Comms.
Pakistan and Afghanistan were in open warfare when the decision was made so not sure how that's a valid comparison. Now there's talks of reopening the border so that suspension may be lifted soon.

The news itself came from PP on banning of Afghans. Good on ya being consistent.
Open or alleged warfare, hate to be diverting the topic but its the same Afghan regime where the ex spy master went to meet the Talibans and were doing attan on regaining strategic depth. Since then a lot of water has flown under the bridge and now the estabishment is alleging these same Talibs are being funded by India?Pakistan and Afghanistan were in open warfare when the decision was made so not sure how that's a valid comparison. Now there's talks of reopening the border so that suspension may be lifted soon.
BCCI's decision is not due to a state of war between India and Bangladesh, but communal politics aimed at appeasing the Hindu far-right.
If there's BCCI "bashing" then they've brought it onto themselves with this move which has many critics even within India itself.
BCCI has sabotaged India’s approach to Bangladesh
The BCCI decision has given new life to the lunatic fringe of the Hindu Right. It now has the confidence to force policy changes in accordance with its communal campaigns.
Australia are going to play all group stage matches in Lanka . So they may change those game here and there if wants
My preference would be for all subcontinent tournaments just to be held in UAE.
Just looking now and you're right, there's no official confirmation of a PSL ban on Afghan players so the comparison falls down.
Not sure where you read my post as justifying it, I gave a narrative on what's happened be it ICC or NATO when there is over reliance on a single entity for funding the enterprise.
Unfortunately cricket is viewed by many Indians in one of two ways:
And when Iran join ICC, what then (far fetched but possible, if Banglas can play cricket, so can Iranians)?
became an issue after 3-4 Hindus were killed for being Hindus in BD, all that pretty much happened post auction. Please don't not be as biased to your co religionists and blame Hindu right wing for everything.
If India and Bangladesh are in undeclared war then it's unlikely we'd see India's FM attend Khaleda Zia's funeral or the Adani Group still supplying Bangladesh with electricity ?
Nah that wasn't a precedent ECB got got docked points and told to move on.
DV the precedent was on not playing matches and that's what should have happened when India refused to play in Pak (docking of points), this would have nipped all this. Rest of ICC members could have voted on it and that's why i said upfront rest of members are equally culpable for this mess.
I am in agreement then. Abuse of power is obviously more likely when you have absolute power.
It's a cheap, performative stunt by lashing out at an easy target with no real means of responding (Bangladeshi cricketers) to appease the online mob than a substantive response to communal violence in Bangladesh.
As @Human786 said, will the Indian Govt pressure business leaders to withdraw their investments from Bangladesh ? Will the Indian Govt suspend trading relations ?
Alternatively, Indian Govt could recall its Ambassador, or expel Bangladeshi diplomats. Apparently a water sharing treaty is expiring this year so that's another point of leverage.
If India is having headaches over Hindu mistreatment in Bangladesh - you may also wish to look at the actions of your new best friends the Afghan Taliban:
'Forced To Dress Like a Muslim': Taliban Imposes Restrictions On Afghanistan's Sikh, Hindu Minorities
Members of Afghanistan's Sikh and Hindu communities say the Taliban, a militant Islamist group, has imposed restrictions on their appearances and prevented them from marking religious holidays in public. Many Afghan Sikhs and Hindus have fled the country in recent years following targeted attacks.www.rferl.org
So please advise me when India will announce similar sanctions on the four Afghan cricketers retained by their IPL franchises ? Or is Hindu mistreatment forgiveable when perpetrated by an ally ?
They are hypocrite people's in the world.
I don't know where I've called myself anything, nor recall discussing any of those topics with you so not sure what hypocrisy has been exposed. It seems some of our Indian friends are rivalling Tolstoy and Dahl for fiction writing.They are hypocrite people's in the world.
It was Pakistan who starred mixing politics in cricket in 90s when they were strong team .
I exposed the hypocrisy of the posters from Pakistan, including @Markhor, who are calling themselves very good people.
It was active Pakistan player's ( Faheem , Abrar etc) who used racists Post during OP Sindoor but no one talking about who started it first during Asia cup .
These shameless people's praised Rizwan dedicated MOM performance to Gaza people's yet cried about sky behaviour during the Asia cup.
Same posters ( not all) were Praising Rumour of PCB banning Afghanistan players in PSL but here same posters crying about banglu players exclusion form the IPL.
These are just small example of hypocrisy of Pakistani poster's here. I know everything about each posters here and excalty know how to shut those
This is some actual high level nonsense. Ask any moderately attentive football fan and theyll confirm to you that Hapoel Tel Aviv have some of the most racist ultras in Europe, such that they don’t even like having Arab players in their own teams squad. They also were singing Death to Arabs and ripping up Palestinian flags in Amsterdam before the locals there dealt w/ these hooligans.
Should I remind you by tagging under those post which we discussed during Asia cup.
The reality is that India has less of a lever in all those domains that you have mentioned than people think it has.
Because ultimately these cricket antics are hilariously performative and lack substance. It’s all nautanki and drameybaazi that the blindly patriotic Indian fans (and our Indian posters, as a subset of these) do Bhangra and play Daandiya to.
Because Bangladesh is using idiotic language against India specially seven sisters States, it's not just about isolate incident but Hindu are directly target by radical Islamist puppet goverment.
Btw india never support Taliban or any other but whoever ruled the afganistan because we are providing education, medical facilities, infrastructure, buliding several projects for normal Afghanistan citizens. We are not creating problems like Pakistan/ Bangladesh creates in neighbourhood.
Currently Afghanistan goverment is neither harming our national interest not creating any trouble so we are happy to help them.
Yes how can we forget it was pakistan who harbour the Taliban when USA was ruling Afghanistan. That time they were good friends for you and Labelled them strategy depth of Pakistan.
Aren't you the same guy who recently predicted a whitewash of the South African Test team, and then disappeared once the Indian team got whitewashed by the Bavuma led team instead?Semifinals and final - which is dream for your Minnow Pakistan and banglu team
And you will find posts where I've opposed Pakistan's support for Afghan Taliban years before you registered. Here's three from 2017 and 2018 for free:Yes how can we forget it was pakistan who harbour the Taliban when USA was ruling Afghanistan.

Some of our resident Indians seem to assume that others are as uncritical of their governments as they are.
Anyway thanks to BCCI's gesture politics, yet another multination tournament is being overshadowed by off-field drama. It's time hosting rights are looked at more carefully.
This thread is all about politics so timepass section is more suitable
