Reacting to the Asia Cup 'neutral' venue controversy, Javed Miandad:

“I have always been saying, if India don't to come, we don't care. They can go to hell. We are continuing to play our cricket. It's ICC's job to control such things, else there's no point of having a governing body"

"ICC should have one rule for every country. If such teams don't come, no matter how strong they are, you should remove them.

“They should play, why aren't they playing? They are afraid of consequences."

“Even in our times, they would not play because they were afraid of consequences. India's crowd is 'nasty'. Whenever India would lose, no matter against whom, they would burn houses. That's what they are afraid of.”
 
If its icc job then why are you in stress?
Pak has enough to worry about. The Asia cup is not reall the priority at all.
 
Haha, not holding back is our Javed. :97:
 
Hell is a better place to be in as compared to Indian team touring Pakistan.
Pakistan need not come to India for WC as there is no chance in hell now that India will come to Pakistan.
 
Indian Cricket team will not come to Pakistan and Pakistan is no position to dictate others regarding Pakistan touring to India in next worldcup.

Can you explain what will you do lol:ravi
 
“I have always been saying, if India don't to come, we don't care. They can go to hell.

Awww Javed bhai, don't be like that :therethere

It's just what it is. Sport and politics will always be intertwined whether people like it or not.
 
I endorse Javed Miandads statement, and i also endorse the statement of Ijaz Butt where he called the big 3 swines :)))
 
Oh man, im using this quote as my signature from now on

I always fear the silly season when cricket stops and people start thinking too hard about issues...
 
A bit of overreaction. But frustration is understandable.

BCCI and Indian govt should not allow politics to interfere in sports.

It's about time all cricketers across the countries call out BCCI and Indian govt for allowing sports to be dictated by political forces. Even multinational events organized by ACC/ICC are not being spared now
 
Hell is a better place to be in as compared to Indian team touring Pakistan.

Hypocrisy or sarcasm? It reeks either way, isn’t it?

Your Indian baseball team visited Pak just last week (and got their rear end handed over to them by Pak team) - yep, must’ve felt like worse than hell. :D
 
Pakistan need not come to India for WC as there is no chance in hell now that India will come to Pakistan.

You are entitled to your opinion but you are nobody.

Pak team will visit India as it’s free to make its choice and without getting any indulgence of political pressures.

Yeah, you can decide not to watch Pak games in India and keep your head buried in the sand - good for you.
 
Bet he thought the same thing in his head before smashing that famous six against us years ago.
 
Yeah miandad now take a stand and tell Sethi to not to travel India for wc. If it's not now than never.
 
I heard there was a bomb blast near the stadium before psl opening.

How can people even expect India to tour Pak after all this.

Totally in support of BCCI on this.

You heard wrong

The match was not a PSL opening. It was an exhibition game.

Stop fooling yourself and others into thinking that BCCI is not going to Pakistan because of this.

Its not about its exhibition matches or any other .facts is that nowadays bombs blast is happening and its frequency increasing day by days .so India cannot take any risk .

Becouse of same reason we were already said no .our players life is precious for us ,same for Pakistan if they don't wanna come to India later this year .
 
International cricket is already on one leg no relevance no crowd no charisma, PCB should boycott the Asia Cup and walkover the India game in 50 over WC to give ICC a kick in the ars, focus on PSL

important point was that there was a bomb blast. If I am not wrong, there was one a few weeks back which killed 100+ policemen. If Policemen, and ex PM are not safe how do you expect Indian team to feel safe?

Anyway, none of this matter as India has been clear that they won't travel to Pakistan. It is not a new policy that they came up yesterday. It is same policy for close to a decade now. It is time Pakistani government comes up with same policy and not travel to India or have any other independent policy they think will benefit Pakistan. They have strong leaders like IK who can guide them and street-smart experts like Javed can suggest what works for them.

PCB should show some spine and carry on without India. Indian team will get some well needed rest and Pakistanis can have a tournament without drama. They should also refuse to come to India during world cup. That will teach India a lesson /s

may be in Pakistan. Not so much other places. Australia, India, England get decent crowd. As long as there is revenue flowing cricket will go on. People have been writing obituaries for test cricket and now ODI cricket for some time. Nothing has happened. Infact they are making more money with more eyeballs. India and Australia just announced that all future Border Gavaskar series will be five test matches..

Trying to hype a sport that's only popular in 3-4 countries, lol. Losing a major member like Pakistan will have significant long term impacts not just in terms of less matches in WC including the lucrative India vs Pakistan match, but also its brand.

It's also not as popular in England and Australia as you might think. It's generally stagnant or losing popularity in those countries.

Spare the ** please. Terrorist attacks had been happening on and off in Balochistan and KP all this time when other teams had toured. The Balochistan was basically a non event, while the one in Peshawar was big but Australia carried on with the tour last year when there was a similar one there. Teams aren't going to those areas because even Pakistanis consider them unafe. So again, spare the **.
 
India - wasn't planning to come to Pakistan.

First Your govt should take strict action on bomb blast criminals.... Such a crime is not acceptable. Like india they have strict action on criminals by making strong army, police, securities. Pakistan Govt should care for their innocent lives. Once they do that even india will travel to Pakistan. It's my beyond thinking why blasts happen regularly in only Pakistan. Why can't government take strict action on them.

Yes, all western cricketing nations can tour Pakistan but not India. Man you guys love to make up stuff as you go.

Why yours Govt is incapable to stop those blasts?. Why can't Pakistan make strong security force to fight with that terror. I m not concern about cricket, i concern about life of innocent people over there.

Fully agree with Javed on that.

Is any country totally safe?

I don't think any nation is entirely safe and can guarantee security.
 
Sensible words from Javed :)

I dont understand why India would be upset if Pakistan opted out of the world up in India. It will help India to win it.

It's also not as popular in England and Australia as you might think. It's generally stagnant or losing popularity in those countries.

lets see

Basketball - America, China (not as crazy) and few other countries. Number of fans comparable to cricket
Rugby - few countries and if you include American football again few countries and number of fans clearly less than cricket.
Hockey, ice hockey and various versions - number of fans and teams again clearly less than cricket

only soccer is a truly world sport. Everything else is limited to few countries. But other sports are all doing fine. why wouldn't cricket do well? with t20 there are more teams playing and cricket is more accessible. all these doomsday scenarios have been going on for decades now, yet cricket is doing better than it was. Just last week BBL had the highest fan attendance. So did SA T20 tournament.
 
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Ravi Ashwin:

"Asia Cup was supposed to take place in Pakistan. But India has announced that if it takes place in Pakistan, then we won’t be participating. If you want us to participate, do change the venue."

"But we have seen this happen many times. When we say that we won’t go to their place, they will say that they will also not come to our place. Similarly, Pakistan has said that they will also not come to the World Cup. However, I think it is not possible"
 
Spare the ** please. Terrorist attacks had been happening on and off in Balochistan and KP all this time when other teams had toured. The Balochistan was basically a non event, while the one in Peshawar was big but Australia carried on with the tour last year when there was a similar one there. Teams aren't going to those areas because even Pakistanis consider them unafe. So again, spare the **.

not sure what is the ** supposed to mean. if you read my comment i added an "anyway' paragraph. So even if you discount terrorist attack, India policy has been to consistently refuse to travel to Pakistan. So, this is nothing new. I firmly believe Pakistan should call Indian bluff and play without them. It is only India that will be suffering. Pakistan should do it..
 
Yes, all western cricketing nations can tour Pakistan but not India. Man you guys love to make up stuff as you go.

India is obviously not a western country and none of those countries have a territorial dispute spanning multiple decades. None of those western countries have had wars with Pakistan. So what they do is irrelevant
 
Is any country totally safe?

I don't think any nation is entirely safe and can guarantee security.

I agree. no country is safe. NZ had a mosque attack, Australia also had a blast few years back, so did England. So, no country is safe. But India stance has been same for a decade now. It is not related to whatever is happening in Pakistan now. Policy is due to what happened in Mumbai in 2008. So, until some kind of closure or compromise comes to that chapter nothing will change. So my point is nothing has changed from Indian side policy wise. Pakistan should ignore India and go ahead organize the Asia cup without India. Pakistan has been arranging financially viable tournaments before and doing it now should not be a problem. If ACC creates problem, then they can skip Asia cup and just setup a triangular/multiteam tournament with BD, SL and may be Afghanistan. Invite UAE, Nepal and you have decent interesting tournament. That way Pakistan can show to the world that their plans need not be dictated by Indian policy. They can have a policy that suits them.

i don't know one soul who would be upset if Pakistan opted out of world cup. Fans might miss watching a potentially exciting match but that is the case for Pakistani fans too. There is not a single Pakistani in IPL and it seems to be doing pretty well for itself.

What's he actually saying and is it of any relevance?

When you have the biggest population on the planet and only ONE major sport of course it will do well even if no foriegn players are present.

But it does seem India wants Pak to travel to India but wont travel to Pak. Why doesnt India simply say we will not host Pakistan because of their lame reasons?

Also why does India send other athletes to Pakistan?

Maybe not one soul in India. Although that's a lie too because whoever has broadcasting rights in India for WC will be upset. But stop projecting that onto every other cricketing nations.
 
I think considering the fact most Pakistanis are deeply upset at the turn of events the best case scenario could be this:

Host Asia Cup in Pakistan without India

Come to WC in India but refuse to play the India Pak match on principle.

That is the only posture that will emotionally hurt India if not finanically.

Because the entire premise of Pakistan playing a World Cup in India is the India vs Pakistan match. If it doesn't happen in the group stage, at least India will be peeved.

If it happens in the semi final or final, well then thats just luck.

There is no other way to win this argument.

Not playing in the World Cup is cutting your nose to spite your face.

Hosting Asia Cup in UAE is making India feel they won the argument.

Will such things happen?

I really don't know.
 
Unfortunately, it is coming from Javed Miandad who has a history of breaking millions of hearts with his last ball six. :inti
 
Funny old man..age is catching up and he is loosing his senses..

Why are you attacking his age? Do you not have elderly people in your family?

Javed is correct, or do you think Pakistan should come travel to India for the World Cup , if so why?
 
After all this huffing and puffing, I just hope PCB stands firm.

However given their previous antics, they'll back down and look like fools once again.

As if the fifth biggest populous country is filled with sport giants. Atleast we do reasonably well in field hockey, shuttle cock and few other sports. Something something glass house something something

broadcasters are businessmen. They have already considered that possibility and added risk clauses. So the impact will be on ICC. But if it comes to choosing sides they will always prefer to have Indian viewership vs Pakistan's

Shuttlecock :)))

India is only known for cricket, Bollywood and Delhibelly around the world. Pakistan and India not travelling to each others nations wont make a difference to the people of the countries.

I am hoping PCB will stand firm and refuse to travel to India. Just like how PCB took india to court on Indian series and settled the arguments once for all, I hope PCB settles this once for all. Otherwise PCB will look like spineless clowns only talking loud with nothing concrete to follow.
 
Shuttlecock :)))

laughing while having nothing to retort. If Australians or south Africans make fun of India's sporting achievements I see a point. Pakistanis who can't even win a home series are now laughing at others.

7x the population of Pakistan but not much to show for. Where exactly does your hubris come from?
 
india won't travel to pakistan for asia cup. WC 2023 will happen in india. people in their own deepest wells can croak as much as they can. nothing doing.
 
When Pakistanis try to take potshots its easy to show the mirror.

Lmao in this case you got no mirror show. India is easily the worse sporting nation given the 7x population. You guys talk like Pakistan has half the population, when in fact it's more like 7x less.

You are not a major sporting power even though having the biggest population in history.

India should simply agree to not to travel to each others nations, its only a game of cricket...even though its a little more popular than shuttlecock. :)))
 
Unfortunately, we have a wimp as our chairman.

There’s more chances of Sethi giving our hosting rights away to Afghanistan than to get India coming to Pakistan.
 
Simple.
Hold it in Pakistan, if India can't make it then..well, its fine. Play the game with the rest.
 
I heard there was a bomb blast near the stadium before psl opening.

How can people even expect India to tour Pak after all this.

Totally in support of BCCI on this.

There was a bomb blast in IPL 2010, Bangalore stadium bombing.

What's your point?
 
India will not send its cricketers to Pakistan, but they will send their fans to Pakistani forums!

Love it. I see Indians have been triggered by JM's comments.

Legendary Miandad, still smacking India for a last ball six!
 
Love it. The real trigger for Pakistani fans will be when their spineless and beghairat PCB will bow down to India and accept Asia Cup out of Pakistan and then, they will come to India begging for visas for WC.
Hopefully Indian government does the right thing and denies them visas this time, to teach loudmouths like Miandad a lesson.

Easier said than done.

The likes of Afghan Cricket Board and BCB are hardly the most reliable.

They could quite easily say they won't play the tournament in Pakistan if India tell them to.

That doesnt make sense.

If Indian government doesnt issue Pakistan visas based on what Miandad is saying, ICC will move the event out of India.

You cant "not issue visas out of spite and hold a tournament" with a straight face.

The fact that you would love that to happen speaks volumes about how much "you have to grow to learn to have a difference of opinion" about something
.

Baighairuts and beysharams never have a straight face to begin with. So don't expect it.

Beghairati will be shown by PCB when they will accept there fate. Asia Cup will be out of Pakistan and they will travel to India for WC, and then take Indian generated revenue into their pockets. BCCI funds Pakistan cricket. PCB will do as they are told.for now people like Javed can jump up and down like frogs. Sab Lag Pata jayega.
 
Series should still go on even if India don't come. There is no need to change the host country or postpone the tournament.

Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Afghanistan should be okay to tour.

lol hahahaha .... it hurt's isn't it?
well ... sorry, we will hit you where it hurts. Money! And we will keep making you pay!
Sweet revenge.

Stop it if you can.

By the way, did you answer post 12 yet? :D

Lol are you dumb or what?
Asia cup will be taken out of Pakistan, who is a loser here - Pakistan
Pakistan does not come to India and boycotts WC, who is a loser here - Pakistan


So what exactly are you making us pay. A big fat zero. WHY? Because WC will happen and will be successful, with or without Pakistan.
In fact people in India will make it a bigger event in case Pakistan boycotts just to spite them.

There will never be any parity with BCCI. Will respond once BCCI delivers PCB its fate, which is to do that BCCI tells it to.
Please take your revenge.
 
We should stop investing emotionally into Pak India matches. I think we will shift the Asia Cup and we will definitely play the world cup in India.

I'm just curious what will happen to the 2025 champions trophy scheduled to take place in Pakistan. What will India do?

Pakistan government is going around the world with a bowl to beg money and you are threatening to hit India economically.

:)))

Pakistan can do nothing. Beggars can't be choosers.
 
Salman Butt on this topic:

"The Asia Cup has become like a cup of tea as it is being offered to everyone. We will have to wait until March. But it is something that is beyond everyone's control. There is a lot of speculation. I hope that things improve and the issue is resolved amicably,"

:)) soo funny watching Indians talk about money as if they get it directly in to their accounts.

Who the hell cares about how much their board makes and than boost about it. If one was working for such an organization, that would make sense.

What else do you expect from a beghairat bunch of clowns? :))

Pakistan should not travel to the WC, simple as that. ICC is not going to penalize us as it will be beyond PCB’s hands once they play the government card. If Indian players are not safe in Pakistan, then Pakistan players are clearly not safe in a country which is harboring so much animosity against them.

Quite simple really.
