In good faith, what can BCCI do to amend brotherly relations with Pakistan and Bangladesh?

[Bhaijaan]

In good faith, and in the larger spirit of cricketing brotherhood, what constructive steps can the BCCI take to ease tensions and rebuild trust with our neighbours, Pakistan and Bangladesh?

If the goal is reconciliation through sport, a few practical gestures could help:

1. Consider facilitating Bangladesh’s return to major ICC events, with matches hosted in India to ensure security and logistics.
2. Resume basic on-field courtesies and sporting respect with Pakistan, starting with small but meaningful gestures like normalised post-match interactions.
3. Explore a bilateral series in Pakistan, such as 3 Tests and 5 T20Is, subject to security clearance.
4. Schedule a tour of Bangladesh for 3 ODIs and 3 T20Is to strengthen regional cricket ties.
5. Reopen the IPL to Pakistani players, allowing talent to transcend politics.
6. Welcome back players like Mustafizur Rahman, whose presence has always enriched the league.

These are not concessions. They are bridges.

Cricket in the subcontinent is not just a sport. It’s shared memory, shared language, shared summers under the same sun. Sometimes a simple handshake, a tour, or an open door can accomplish more than a hundred diplomatic statements.

If we lead with confidence and generosity, healing follows naturally.

 

[Pakhs]

The BCCI is currently busy trying to convince, and reportedly threaten, Pakistan to reverse its decision on the India–Pakistan match. This is because it is the only fixture that generates significant revenue for both the ICC and the BCCI. Without this game, cricket’s already fragile financial structure and declining relevance become even more exposed.

BCCI stands most to lose as its these types of fixtures that generated the craze and sponsorship money that made them the financial power they currently are. So one way or the other they are trying to minimize the damage and trying to atleast get Pakistan to play anyway.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Appreciate @Bhaijaan should apologize Fizz first and must offer him BCCI chairmanship....

Make Modi dance at the next ICC meeting, just like he did under Trumps orders

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Unfortunately this has transcended cricketing brotherhood and is into the poltical sphere now.

A large political gesture must be made.

Personally I think a small song and dance by Modi, perhaps as guest act on next series of Pakistan Idol, would go a long way to repair these broken ties.

On a side note recently (2-3 montbs ago) I went to Mumbai Chinese restaurant and ordered Aamchi Mumbai special based on your username.

Just wanted to say thanks.

Ensure handshake with Pakistan team for the 15th Feb game, for Bangladesh pullout send their team for a 5 game T20 series in Bangladesh after IPL

 

[Bhaijaan]

My message is always this. Some people believe relations cannot be amended and we will always remain in a state of animosity.

But provided visionary leadership, things can change very quickly and people will always be quick to accept a positive development.

 

[emranabbas]

In good faith, India and Indian posters should just leave Pakistan alone now. We’re honestly tired of the constant obsession with pakistan.

There’s no need to lecture us about potential financial losses, sanctions, or who might boycott us. We’re not naive we understand the consequences perfectly well.

What doesn’t help is the desperate tone or the repeated threats to pressure us into playing India. If the decision is not to play, then that’s the decision. It’s as simple as that.

so please don't try to act desperate.

Let’s not break any more hearts.
I say as a gesture of gratitude, allow Bangladesh a wildcard entry to the semi finals and make it a round robin of semi finalists + Bangladesh. Top 2 of the 5 teams make the finals.

Not sure if other boards gonna agree to this wild idea though. Maybe I should have thought about it in the morning.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

On a serious note I don't see how they can be mended nor do I think India has any obligation to mend them through unnecessary appeasement.

We respect Indians role in cricket but feel they have taken things too far with their open rigging and meddling.

If ICC is run properly then no issues and no need do anything like give IPL contracts.

We just want a cricket system that is fair, reasonable and not used as a foreign policy tool.

It's not so difficult.

In negotiations, you have to concede something to get a favourable outcome. India is democratic country and is always open for dialogue. BCCI will have to concede something and let Pakistan and Bangladesh feel they got away with something. It’s the only way out. Some might label it as victory or defeat but that’s how diplomacy works. It’s always a bargain.

You're asking to change the world essentially. We're in an era where Trump is threatening sanctions on 100 year old allies for opposing his plans to take over another country's territory.

India's a relative baby at this bullying and meddling thing. Won't be long before Modi turns up at stadiums and crickets will have to salute him like old time gladiators before they start the game.

I probably have more faith in the Indian system, and it's ability to hold power to account, than I do the American system.

Watch this space. Actually the Balochistan issue has taken it to another direction. Let’s see how hard Pakistan army pushes that narrative. That could hamper diplomacy.

I did too but it's dark times and tough to see a way out. There's not even a hint of an opposition at this point and the mass media is all bought out.

At least the Americans have term limits and Trump's really really old.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Pakistan after a long while has a very well balanced, talented and in form T20 team.

This is actually their best shot at the trophy as well as at India in a while.

PCB is depriving Pakistan cricket fans a fair and strong vengeance opportunity imho.

Nah ..there is plenty of anger on ground now ..not due to communal issues but due to bad governance issue. A new opposition leader who will touch these issues will strike a connection with the masses. Opposition will have to stick to development agenda only. Don't expect them to win with communism ideals.

[NishanKonar]

Dont think anything BCCI does will help. Its the ruling govt who need to act

Like I m pretty sure things between India & Bangladesh will cool down after Feb elections bcoz the new govt will not want to un-necessarily confront India bcoz its hurting their economy

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

Dear Bangladeshi friends, as full and unstinted apology we are sending to you as keepsake the jewel of India, our greatest treasure, a diamond beyond compare, the rarest of unicorns, an item so rare it can only be spoken of in hushed, reverent tones.

His name is Jay Shah and we insist you keep him permanently.

 

[Pakhs]

But but indians saying they earn billions from IPL, this is only going to cost them millions

BCCI knows that this fixture benefits them most and then the ICC. Pakistan get the least benefit. PCB has done the calculations and assessed the consequences and decided that they can do without the benefits.

Its highly impressive from PCB to end these farcical matches. BCCI and ICC should have realised this before making it a farce.

I am not angry at all. I have Indian colleagues at work and have had Indian class fellows and even mentors. Always have maintained good relations…

it’s just that pragmatically I don’t see any resolution in the short term.

Can Ban come back to t20 wc? No

Can we undo badtameezi by Sky and GG which impacted even kids? One poor Indian kid was called traitor for helping tie shoe laces of a fellow cricketer…

Can Pakistan take back their call without getting something substantial in return?

If BCCI and ICC leave PCB alone they we wont! But I suspect there are begging going on in the background to come and play.

Sorry brother, we are not in the business of woman supply. Let’s keep it respectful and keep women out of it dear. Please be respectful.

We can offer our friendship and our highest courtesy to you in good faith.

If it’s about women, you must ask for their hand as a gentleman for marriage purpose. In that case you must also submit your biodata including lineage details. There will be two wedding functions. A niqah ceremony and a Sanatani wedding.

 

[Savak]

Very simple

Bow down and accept that they must respect their fellow cricketing stakeholders and that they are not the only important stakeholder in Cricket.

Also given the state of Indo Pakistan political relations, no Indian should serve as the ICC Chairman and in the ICC leadership roles, it is a massive conflict of interest

No ICC tournaments should be held in India till Indo Pakistan relations improve.

But it’s not the market, it’s privately owned leagues that decide who comes in and who doesn’t.
But regardless, in its current state, if we’re being honest no Pakistani player is good enough to get into an IPL team, leave alone playing XI - but maybe in other T20 leagues.

Big Bash officials have admitted that the signing of Pakistani players like Babar, Rizwan, Shadab, Shaheen was a big plus for them.

Yes, and it’s the prerogative of the leagues to invite whoever they wish to. Like I said, it’s not an open market, it’s a private league’s decision who they invite. I do understand your point of view, just wanted to point out the distinction between a “market” and a private institution.

Not sure about Bangladesh and Pakistan, but India will continue to host events.
