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

[Technics 1210]

Look, we are just touching the surface!

Think of the underworld betting syndicates and fixers in India!

What a way to be made redundant!

 

[Local.Dada]

What's contribution of Indian team in the Indo-Pak match? Are they selling raffle tickets? They are only showing up to play too.

In the context of Indo-PK match Indian viewers and overseas viewers are rating Pakistan equally. It is bigger than rest of the tournament combined and the reason ICC functions.

Indian team’s job is to show up and play, however broadcaster, Sponsors who sustain the business model are all Indians. That business interest is directly proportional to popularity of cricket and cricketers in India. So, yeah India has the leverage. Pakistan gets paid (a lot of money) to show up and be part of the Indian show. If playing Pak was such a short cut money printing venture, we would be seeing Ind-Pak bilaterals every other week.

The value is leveraged for the benefit of all member boards. If India swallows it pride and plays Pakistan, it’s only benefitting everyone. Pak boycott will only hurt ICC meaning everyone including itself. What’s it that you are not getting here?

 

[Technics 1210]

If all else fails, Modi can join the IPL cheerleaders and show them a thing or two on how to bust a move!

 

[HalBass9]

Indian viewer and overseas viewers who pay a subscription model. Pakistanis who watch it on local government channels add very little value.

Yes India and Pak fans (mostly Indian fans) who buy tickets, merchandise and also boost local economy will add value.

Pakistanis only contribution is to show up and play.

Work in a corporate world? huh?

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

So now you guys are pretending you don't understand how media works?

Media everywhere today is made of clickbaits for maximum attention.

You realise media in India is private entities which are not controlled by BCCI or government right?

It's funny how in such times you guys pretend you don't have even the most basic understanding of how the world works. Now you are pretending you don't understand how media works.

No im not pretending how media works

but Indian Media takes it to next level as such it has made lot of Indians Gullible

For example Indian media Burned Imaginary port in Lahore and Desyroyed one in Karachi. Next morning they were seen given excuses to Indian public as to why they made them fool

 

[ethan hunt]

Nope, they are pointing at you and laughing at you for your juvenile stunts.

Mocking a child or punishing him when he throws tantrums for attention is not crying. It's the opposite of crying.

But hey you guys have lied about everything so far, so please continue lying some more.

Then why play against Pakistan? Have some shame or self respect. Which clearly the Indians have none of whether it is due to money or some sort of obsession with Pak.

Will BCCI vote against PCB for not playing?

how Ironic would it be if ICC puts it to vote that Pak will be ousted if it refuses to play India and BCCI votes in favor

 

[Local.Dada]

For the nth time, playing Pak in bilaterals makes money for BCCI, PCB only.

Playing in ICC tournaments benefits all member boards.

If India has money, no one is impressed until you make them also money. That’s why I agree India did swallow its pride and played Pak in Asia cup. Sometimes it’s not easy to pull the trigger when you have a lot more stake.

That’s your answer.

Now let me try to understand Pak’s emotion here, they just played India yesterday in U-19, are they boycotting due to security risks? Don’t think so. Did they say they are not playing due to Baloch issue or in solidarity with Bangladesh, what is the reason? That is called jalebi. India is being a hypocrite with their narrative and actions maybe but there is a method to their madness. Whats PCB’s plan here? Instead of blindly cheerleading, can you step back and think?

This is a Pakistan vs India match. Two teams. End of story. That’s the foundation of the argument, without either team involved, it’s a completely different situation, yet you’re still pushing back against it.

When even the “jobless” guy understands how weak your defense is, it says a lot. Defending nonsense appears to be your full time occupation, and you still can’t get it right.

Stick to finishing assigned tasks in your corporate world, you are not there to contribute as a decision maker yet.

 

[Local.Dada]

how Ironic would it be if ICC puts it to vote that Pak will be ousted if it refuses to play India and BCCI votes in favor

Unless on Pak social media, I don’t think those voting results are ever released. Even the 14-2 voting, it was too obvious who are the 2, ICC would never do it, however as a funny hypothetical situation, it’s funny

No argument there. Pakistan has more to lose than India from the cancellation of this tie.

My point is the way it is framed that Pakistan receives money from ICC.

One can also argue that no board is as profitable or even profitable at all unless it plays India in bilateral, yet this argument is rarely made for other boards.

Pakistan is owed that money from ICC because historically Indian media ( which is desperate entity to BCCI) has valued them highly and paid more money to ensure this fixture takes place Vs an alternative fixture. It is not taking from something it hasn't contributed to.

What Pakistan team thinks it is worth or it deserves is for PCB to evaluate and negotiate with ICC . ICC is run like a private business, not like a charity/NGO.

If Pak wants to use this as some kind of a negotiating tactic, . I am sure it’s for ICC to decide to either give in to PCB’s demands or cut their losses thinking it’s not worth it.

BCCI is at this point the third party. It just has a financial liability from this just like everyone else including PCB and other member boards.

Unless this is a way to undermine JayShah who is heading ICC, I don’t really see a reason for PCB to take panga with ICC. Anyway following days will make it crystal clear. I think Pak will play. All they have to do is perform well and all will be forgotten.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

I would definitely mind and not just because I support Pakistan.

A ban wouldn’t fix any real problems. It would only hurt the players, the fans, and the game itself. The cricketers train their whole lives to play at world events, and it’s unfair to take that away because of politics or disputes at board level.

Pakistan is an important part of international cricket. They bring strong competition, unpredictable matches, and huge fan interest. A World T20 or any major tournament without Pakistan would feel incomplete and less exciting for everyone, not just Pakistan supporters.

If there are disagreements or concerns, the ICC’s job is to resolve them through discussion, clear rules, and fairness. Using bans as a punishment sets a bad example and weakens the spirit of the game. Cricket is better when all teams are included and competing on the field, not pushed out of it.

 

[cricketjoshila]

What has icc done other than back channel talks to convince pakistan to play india?

Icc started the same wsy vs Bangladesh.

If pakistan doesn't play that fixture its not owed anything by the icc and to be blunt pakistan has little utility in the tournament

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Yes but a ban wouldn’t fix any problems as I said. They can put some monetary sanctions or whatever but let's see what they do.

 

[Muhammad Saad]

Technically they do have a point of hostile behavior from BCCI and it’s instructions to not shake hands and to not take trophy from Pakistani ACC head, This insulting behavior can be used as a legal escape for PCB,
if you can’t respect us then why bother playing with us? That excuse is a valid point if the matters goes in to International court.

BCCI will then use their point that their government has instructed them to do so and PCB can then say that it’s also their government decision so in the end no penalties or anything.

 

[Devadwal]

You may not believe it but many indian owned teams in other leagues simply don't hire pakistanis because they don't want to deal with PCB.

 

[emranabbas]

yes Pakistan will lose revenue but icc will lose bigger cut of the pie not just this tournament every icc tournament

[Buffet]

Vikrant Gupta mentioned in one of his videos that the ICC earned around $28 million from the Pakistani market whereas they will be dispursing $138 million to the PCB over 4 years and that the PCB was grotesquely overpaid relative to its actual value.

There are two components to it.

1) Reveue from Pakistani market
2) Revenue from Indian market due to Pakistan playing

You are only focusing on 1st and ignoring the 2nd. Hypothetically, lets assume that 5 major countries do not play with India. Do you think ICC will generate same revenue from indian market? Revenue will certainly take a hit. That's the 2nd component.

 

[Devadwal]

Yes but a ban wouldn’t fix any problems as I said. They can put some monetary sanctions or whatever but let's see what they do.

Taking a Hard stance means that no one will dare to stage such drama in the future.

What did you learn from the ICC's kicking out of Bangladesh from the World T20?

Either play or leave the tournament.

PS - THERE IS NO ICC TOURNAMENT WITHOUT INDIA , SO NOT APPLICABLE FOR INDIA. THIS IS THE TRUTH AND PAKISTANI LIKE IT OR NOT , THEY HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT.

I can tell tou know, China will bankroll PCB's ambitions of a cricket renegade league! The Chinese will make BCCI Billions look like pennies.

If there is anything that unites the world it is a unified hate, and the BCCI, along with the cult, are GLOBALLY hated and despised.

Dont believe me? Just head over to social media and read what the English and Aussie fans have to say about India and the BCCI. If this isn't enough, read about how governments are deporting the cult in their shackles, restricting their visas, and exposing their fraud.

In the end India does what it does best, become subservient to their masters.

Most of the viewership, after India, comes from Pakistan and Bangladesh.

Even in countries like Australia and England, a large portion of the cricket audience is made up of subcontinent communities including people of Pakistani, Bangladeshi, and Indian background who significantly contribute to overall viewership.

Domestic market of Pakistan and BD does not generate much revenue for ICC right now. Once economy of BD and Pakistan grows to support bigger broadcast deals then it will be a different situation.

You may be correct about market in Eng, Aus etc where eyeballs do translate to revenue.

Anyway, it's a stupid situation and hadled poorly by PCB. Once agreed to play in nuetral country , doing this stunt does not help any one iuncluding PCB in long-term. if it was about going and playing in India then PCB would have been well within it's rights to not play becasue Idnia is not willing to play in Pakistan.

These shameless guys were here telling us that champions trophy will be moved to South Africa - didn't happen.

Or that India is going to pull out of champions trophy and BCCI will compensate Star Sports by playing blockbus series v India A - didn't happen.

That there is no chance that BCCI will agree to hybrid model - SKY is going to get on a flight to an empty stadium.

They way they have talked rubbish in the past makes me surprised that they can continue to spout it so confidently now.

ICC can ban because Pakistan relevant is only limited to rivaily with India, otherwise they are like Bangladesh.

Once Pakistan lost the leavrage, ICC doens't need Pakistan and they can teach a lesson to Pakistan so they never dare to do any such things in future.

[Van_Sri]

Pakistan was an Asian Power House for Cricket in 20th Century if you lose them it’s a big loss to Cricket so ICC has to solve this problem with a neutral stand and not be biased. A Sport will flourish only if you take away any political influences. India-Pakistan matches have huge popularity and they could have made it into an Ashes Series like format for both countries to play every 2 years. Wasim-Sachin Trophy they should start in the future in Tests.

You are Right . BCCI never agreed to play in Pak and refused to travel for CT 2025 citing Govt Clearance not available due to security concerns. ICC accomodated BCCI by arranging Hybrid Model for them unlike BD who took Identical Stance as BCCI did only this time ICC took a different approach , Inititaed Security assesment for threats and denied BD venue change. ICC by its actions is not consistent or fair in how it manages Cricket as Organizer.

LOL, BCCI spoke of it's reservations on travelling to Pakistan more than 6 months before the start of the tournament. BCB informed the ICC of their decision with less than a month to go after their player was removed from the IPL. Their poor and fragile ego got hurt because of it, and suddenly India became unsafe for them.​

 

[Hitman]

PCB either has no idea of the consequences coming their way, or they don't care what happens to Pakistan cricket's future.

 

[big_gamer007]

Don’t think it will ever happen, but if it does happen it will be really sad. Cricket is a game played by very few countries and apart from the Asian bloc it’s not even the first sport in any other country.

Losing one of the most popular teams will definitely hurt the game.

Unless, cricket goes the league route with 6 month long IPL and other 6 month internationals I don’t see this happening. If it does go league route in future, then it things change and no one will miss any international team.

 

[AndayWalaAllRounder]

PCB either has no idea of the consequences coming their way, or they don't care what happens to Pakistan cricket's future.

They actually know that Icc cant ban them, cant slap heavy fine. Cant do anything as per Mpa.clauses. only partial revenue adjustment and 2 points. Thats it.

Secondly icc sent some neutral guys to talk to PCB and looks like things have worked out, thats why Pcb hasnt sent any letter to icc yet. So, in 2 or 3 says PCB and Govt will give green signal.

Are pak people this noobs that they would sabotage their own interests becoz somebody did not shake hands?

Pak still needs icc for their annual expense , around 50%.

This is some weird self sabotage.

Hum toh marenge hi sanam, tum he bhi le dubenge

 

[AndayWalaAllRounder]

I think playing against Pakistan might be a thing of the past after this latest childish stunt.

Lemme tell you childish stunt which always amuses me. India refuses bilateral cricket with Pakistan citing terrorism and solidarity with fallen soldiers, yet somehow that solidarity conveniently expires when an ICC tournament comes around with big broadcast money attached. Suddenly it’s okay to play Pakistan on the world stage, smile for sponsors, cash the cheques, and then go back to “principles” once the tournament ends.

If playing Pakistan is morally unacceptable, it should be unacceptable everywhere. You can’t boycott bilaterals for ethics and then happily show up at World Cups because the $$$ makes it easier to swallow. That’s not morality, that’s selective outrage with a price tag.

What makes it worse is that this double standard is then projected onto Pakistan as if only one side politicises cricket. Either keep politics completely out of cricket or admit honestly that commercial interests decide when principles apply and when they don’t.
You can’t have moral high ground on weekdays and commercial pragmatism on weekends. Cricket fans aren’t stupid, we all see the contradictions and these childish stunts since years

They are too small a fish to be drowning others with them. End of PCB in no way impacts India in any way. Its just self-sabotage for political point scoring among the gullible awaam.

even bigger LOL , Security situation can arise at any moment , timing of reservation has nothing to do with it. Besides im talking about ICC and how it inititaed assesment of security for India and not for Pak. Double standard lies in this point

These stupid points can't even win you a debate on this forum, leave alone PCB winning a case against ICC/BCCI

There was security assessment for both events. Even assuming what you say is true, Pakistan's demand of not playing in India for those concerns was still accepted. So independent assesment means zilch when the demands were already accepted.

i do not know if your brain works or not but what demands of pcb are you talking about?you make it sound like it was pcb wish to play CT in dubai and then move its matches to lanka . This mess was created by BCCI. there was no demand from PCB. PCB agreed because it had no choice

You talk about my arguments nt working in ICC board Room , of course not they wont. They will work in Civilized organaization that does nt discriminate in its protocols based on Financial leverage

Of course, but that negotiation is going to come at a reduced price which will hurt all boards.

And they will have choice between blaming PCB or BCCI, guess who will come up on the short end of that.

There were already murmurs that the Star Sports contract WITH Indo-Pak matches wasn't as lucrative as they had imagined. This is only going to make things worse for the ICC.

I thnk its great news for BCCI. It completely undercuts the PCB argument about the imporrance of Pak-India match

There's also an additional long-term issue of not letting the PCB drift too far away and thus encouraging the separation of cricket boards from the ICC. When one does it, others might follow in the future. Even the BCCI might be encouraged by the idea of just doing its own thing since the IPL rakes in money

For a poster who I havet tons of respect, this is wishful thinking take.

1) it will be great if PCB can completely avoid BCCI. this way BCCI can move forward with certainity. The risk of BCCI being isolated is world cricket is very low, to put mildly.

2) Pak on theother hand are afraid of getting its bluff called. Hence they are relying on creating uncertainty.

thats why they haven't communicated officially to the ICC about the Ind game forfeit

 

[Devadwal]

Those who say that ICC cannot fine the PCB for boycotting the match against India Because in the past too, teams boycotted and no fine was imposed.

Now I know the rules and why they would impose a 100% penalty.

before the 2007 world cup , broadcasting rights were sold by host nation's not by the ICC , like in 2003 World South Africa board sold the broadcasting rights.

But since 2007, ICC sells broadcasting rights at will and all participants nations are legally bound to the broadcasters through the ICC.

 

[rpant_gabba]

Well then you will have to agree that BCCI/Jay Shah are also now making this about their ego and don’t give two hoots about broadcasters?

Not just BCCI ego. Includes PCB ego

But isn’t there ego in every international setup?
