If the ICC were to ban Pakistan from the WT20 or future tournaments, would you really mind?

[Cryin Out Loud]

In 2025, the ICC accepted India's government's word as final without an independent audit. In 2026, they ignored Bangladesh's government's word, performed an audit, and then punished them. If the PCB remains quiet now, they effectively agree that the ICC has the right to pick and choose whose government they respect.

By commissioning an assessment for Bangladesh but refusing one for India, the ICC essentially admitted that the rules are for sale. Legally, a governing body must treat all members equally. The PCB is making an issue of it now because if they don't, they lose their right to object if the ICC decides to force them to travel to India for a future tournament while India still refuses to visit Pakistan.

India's Case: No assessment , Hybrid Model granted.
Bangladesh's Case: Assessment performed Request denied and expelled

Clear double standards

So

- Earlier the PCB demanded and got a hybrid model.

- Now the PCB is now refusing to participate fully in the model it had itself demanded.

- The basis for this reversal is nothing more than its desire to protest the rights of a third party, the suddenly ‘brotherly nation of Bangladesh’

- And you’re arguing that the PCB is also wary that in the future the ICC will ignore the concession already made, the practice already established and force Pakistani to travel to India?

Hard to see how the PCB will be successful in the inevitable arbitration process with this line of argument. And that’s putting it politely.

I think the SLCB will make a claim for compensation to ICC too and we Pakistanis back them on this and hope ICC compensates them.

Now they’re speaking on Lanka’s behalf…

The desperation..

Can you please show us 1 statement by PCB where they have refused to participate?

PCB did nt demand hybrid model. BCCI did.

you have weak memory? who refused to travel to Pak? why would pcb demand hybrid model when it was given hosting rights?

Second you failed to address the procedural difference i talked about the way ICC teated bcci and BD on similar stances. You are just sheepishly ignoring that

None of PCB's business. Even BCB isn't escalating the issue any further, but PCB like always has decided to shoot itself in the foot with this fake bravado, trying to play a hero no one ever asked for. Another egg on Naqvi's face awaits.

Im really amazed how sanghis can twist facts
PCB never wanted hybrid model. It was imposed by ICC because BCCI refused to travel to Pak for CT 2025. ICC made a decision to accomodate BCCI because they were the ones who refused to trave. ICC did nt expell BCCI like they expelled Bangaldesh. PCB refused to travel to India as consequence so ICC made arrangement of Hybrid for Pakistn too. Stop making it sound like Pak wanted Hybrid and got it. it was arranged by ICC because BCCI refused to travel

It is PCB's Business. Pakistan got bitter end of the deal . CT 2025 changed to Hybrid. So pcb is rightly asking the question. why different treatment ? Wht did nt PCB get to keep whole of CT 2025 and India Expelled like BD?

The PCB demanded a hybrid model for itself just like the one given to India. And got it. Which means the PCB got what it wanted, it was given what it wanted.

But yes India got it first. How does that make a difference to the argument? I repeat - the PCB got what it wanted. And then choose to ignore it.

Also what’s with this Sanghi thing? Should I call you a bearded Mulla then?

It's not PCB's business ever since it agreed to a more than generous *** for tat arrangement for them.

They have refused to play a member nation protesting on behalf of someone who themselves have accepted the ICC verdict.

Any unbiased person can predict what's gonna happen next. Only question is, how bad will it get for the PCB.

pcb got it what wanted lol

you make no sense

ICC arranged hybrid model for BCCI . so to balance out they gave Lolipop of Hybrid to Pak till 2027 as well. stop making it sound like PCB wish

But Expulsion of BD created new situation. BD did nt get same treatment as BCCI. because like BCCI , BD had security concerns but instead of giving them hybrid , They got expelled . PCB ia pointing out double standards

PCB agreed yes but Expulsion of BD exposed double standards where ICC made a procedural change . So it is PCB's Business. Ideally they would have liked the same thing. Deny BCCI neutral venue like it denied to BD

Right now the PCB is quivering in their boots and scratching their heads, wondering what to do.. they didn't realise the ICC would go full rambo on them. Any climbdown now will be humiliating for the kooky Mohsin Naqvi.

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

I strongly doubt whether expulsion from future tournaments is on the agenda, possible or even desirable.

Well Cricinfo has scored a coup and got itself a copy of the confidential MPA and had it reviewed by a couple of fancy lawyers. Key points

- Yes government instructions are specifically included in the 'Force Majeure' clause. So the PCB does have cover
- There is however a grey area on whether the PSB can be considered legally separate from the Pakistan government since the government nominates the Chairman
- There is also a gray area on whether such a partial Force Majeure would apply - just one game etc.
- If the ICC determines that a partial Force Majeure is not applicable, they do have the rights to suspend or even terminate membership

This is going to end up in the courts.

@rpant_gabba, next we'll have to wait for a copy of the broadcasting rights agreement to leak.

Tell me, I probably know more than you as it is. But let’s hear your version of “Rambo mode”.
