I believe you’re wrong there.
There's no denying that PCB is missing out on revenue, but I rather have players play for the love of their country and not money.
I think the CT17 tournament proved to me certainly, that playing for the love of your country is a level above playing for money.
40M to 50M might be chump change, but with money, it always comes down to price vs value.
elaborate?
We aren't discussing about how Kohli loves money or Amir loves his country or the other way around.
The point is about the money PCB requires to operate efficiently. As fans, you might say you don't need it but PCB's stance indicates otherwise
If BCCI is'nt chasing PCB than why they changed venue for ICC Wt20 2015? Why did they allow Pakistani team on their soil?
Reality is bitter, India after spending millions should have a bank of bowlers. Money is'nt everything and your country is a shining example of it. There is something else needed apart from money and facilities.
Where did the PCB boycott BCCI under Dalmiya in 90s, it is a very foolish comment by you and the biggest joke. Without stating proof you are just shooting farce. Whenever Pakistan toured India in 90s, BCCI earned from it and exploit it. Even though BCCI never sent Indian team regularly. India played a test match in Pakistan in 2004 after 15 years, shameful stats point to the obvious how BCCI used and abused PCB even in that time.
4.My country is a shining example of how to host cricket matches, Pakistan cant.
Kohli and Amir? Who mentioned these two? What are you talking about?
The point is about the money PCB requires to operate efficiently? Define efficiently. Tell me, quantify your statement and enlighten all of us readers on how much money PCB needs.
Don't ignore the fact/point I mentioned that playing for your country is above playing for money. Money is not everything. But no, you go for it.
3...2...1...GO!
Your country is NOT a shining example. IPL bombs in stadiums, Religious terrorist threats, Abusive and Violent fans.
Happy to cite examples in all cases.
Why do you not talk about what is happening right NOW. IPL In Chennai An Embarrassment When Cauvery Protests On? https://www.ndtv.com/tamil-nadu-new...-delay-in-cauvery-boards-constitution-1834322
How much security was warranted for the safety of the players?
Shining example? India is the ONLY country that has to relocate matches due to an election - to a different COUNTRY! Sums up the ability in hosting matches. Go figure.
Sick of this subject and neverending drama associated with it. Both boards should just keep their distance from one another for the next few years.
Given the political climate and the rise of the right wing in India there is not a snowball's chance in hell of bilateral series going ahead. They have made a distinction between multilateral events where revenues are shared and bilaterals where PCB would stand to benefit financially.
Play multilateral tournaments at neutral venues and accept bilateral series isn't happening any time soon.
Does Pakistan keep trade and business separate from politics? Does Pakistan give Indian companies access to its markets or transit passage to Afghanistan or other countries? Sports is just like business. It takes mutual co-operation for things to go smoothly. Hosting Indian cricket team is a privilege, and one that is not freely given away to countries that are openly hostile to India.
Does Pakistan keep justice and rule of law away from politics? Murderers of Indian civilians are walking around freely in Pakistan. In spite of UN and interpol sanctions. And you want Indian money for your cricket board. If Pak government fixes its policies, things will get better across the board. Until then, keep waiting for "bilateral" series.
Playing for your country is more important than playing for money. Now why did that thought come into your head considering it's ironical to indicate Indian players play for money and Pakistani players don't. That's exactly why I mentioned Kohli and Amir. See the irony there?
Efficiently means operating without any financial stress. PCB makes about 40 to 50 mil a year and spends 43 mil. I posted the links the other day showing these numbers. 90 million is at stake for PCB with the India series from television rights. The more money PCB makes, the better facilities and the more money they can pay their players so they don't have to resort to playing a bunch of T20 leagues and play tests for Pakistan instead. More money means more clout in the ICC. You can organize better tours for your youngsters, revamp your domestic circuit. That's pointing just a few. You also don't have to beg anyone for a series.
Tomorrow if Indian Govt. trying to show bravado block BCCI from playing PAkistan in an ICC tournament then what will Pakistan do?
Pakistan can earn hell lot of revenue from hosting matches in its own country than playing in multilateral tournaments hosted by BCCI. Recent tour has proved that. PCB also was able to earn even further in advertising revenue compared to UAE matches.
Thing is players think its safe to come and play. Not the case with Pakistan. You saying otherwise on PP wont change that.
There is no irony. Please look up the word and learn how to use it.
The point was that money does NOT equate to success. Agree or disagree?
You are pouring water over the achievements of your countrymen before circa 2000, when your players were playing for India. Do you think Kapil Dev was motivated by money when he lifted the 1983 WC? Do you think SRT was motivated by money when he was performing in the 90s?
More money means more clout? Hmmm. This thread proves otherwise. PCB raised a concern and the venue for Asia Cup switched from India to UAE. So I have no idea what clout you are referring to.
However, yes I agree, more money means better facilities but then I go back to 1983 and 1992 when PCB and BCCI had next to no money but still won World Cups.
What's that saying again? Rhymes with studying under candle light.
Hell lot of revenue with 8500 guards?? Oh you mean the chump change from stadium tickets. Google tv rights and average gate fees. Then compare the difference.
Well guess what, the venue for Asia Cup was shifted to UAE on the grounds BCCI's inability of guaranteeing the safety of Pakistani players in India.
You crying on PP will not change this fact.
Please first you google and check who is responsible for what. Who is in charge of Security, how much PCB charged for a ticket . What comes under PCB and vice versa.
Indian govt didnt give permission to Pakistani players to come to India. You lying wont change that.
Cricketers from every major country is in India at this time. Except Pakistanis, who the GOI says arent welcome either.
I exactly know how to use the word and did it to show how ironical your arbitrary comment was. Every player plays for the country when they are representing their nation except for a few bad apples ofcourse.
BCCI's clout fetched them 400 mil from ICC and 3.5 bil from tv rights. They don't beg any one for a series and actually it's the other way around. Everybody want to host India.
They just showed their clout again by being hypocritical about UAE. They could have easily hosted this in SL. They just indicated they will play in UAE and will still not play a bilateral.
They moved the India games in the emerging Cup to SL. They just got everything they wanted.
If you want to go back to 83.and 92 to win world cups, go ahead.
More money and better administration equates to success. Teams become consistent instead of blowing hot and cold. Look at any sport and any league. Sustained excellence comes with better management and better infrastructure.
Thing is players think its safe to come and play. Not the case with Pakistan. You saying otherwise on PP wont change that.
You are now moving on a tangent. You have failed to quantify the money needed for PCB to run the board efficiently anyway (no surprise!).
One last time, does money equal success in sports - yes or no?
Which part of PCB desperately needs that 90 mil from televsion rights and hence the begging, didn't you understand. Is 90 mil enough quantifying for you? Or did u not read the news about the 70 mil lawsuit?
Also which part of my earlier post about sustained excellence through better management and infrastructure bounce you?
It's you who's swinging both ways talking rubbish about studying under candle light and playing for country vs money. If you can't comprehend cold hard numbers, then Google once in a while. The onus can't just be on me to school you on basic stuff.
You are a person who argues from tautology and insecurity. Look up the words.
So Indian government did not grant permission to Pakistani players, but made themselves look like desperate fools and switched the tournament to UAE for the sake of Pakistani players and their security.
Pure JOKES!
BCCI itself shifted 2009 IPL to South Africa due to no guarantee of security by Indian Govt.
Pakistani team was threatened by a hindutva nationalist political group not to come to Dharamshala to play. Himachal Pradesh Govt. gave security assurance but Interior Minister Ch. Nisar stopped the team from travelling and thus it was shifted to Calcutta where that State CM West Bengal invited Pakistani guests like Imran Khan and fecilitated honours just to show Pakistan team is welcomed and should'nt feel threatened.
Because the deputy head of state of uae is more important than Pakistan.
The BCCI cover-up story is of course, BCCI succumbed to a LETTER from a prince - not a phone call, email, WhatsApp, FB message, or through PR, but an old school LETTER - scented with Rose petals!
India has no choice but to bow and pay respect to UAE because next year IPL must shift from India to an alternate venue. What does this tell you about a nation’s ability to host a competition? A nation that is allegedly loaded with dosh, had clout, educated, yet has ZERO confidence in its ability to host a comp during elections? Yes sir ree, let’s kiss the hand of a Prince and show the world we cannot control our people during an election.
I can see that; the demands of Pakistan are way more important, hence BCCI begging the deputy head of state of UAE not just to guarantee the safety of Pakistani players, but to guarantee the IPL venue in 2019.
Brilliant, just brilliant!

Hurt that despite Pakistan playing its entire cricket in UAE, Crown Prince didnt deemed it fit to talk to PCB but Bcci. I know how hurt posters here on PP were when ipl was held in UAE.
Who said Ipl 2019 will be in UAE? It may be in SA or may be UK. Who knows!
Btw can Pakistan hold a test series anytime let alone election time? I mean how many test matches in Pakistan in last 8 years? May be try to control the people of your country of origin.
None of it since you have neither elaborated nor quantified your statement.
None of it since you have neither elaborated nor quantified your statement.
There's a surprise, given you failed at - you guessed it! - to elaborate or quantify your statement.
You made the claim, now stop crying when you cannot back it up.
Since you can't do simple google searches. Here
1) PCB receives 128 mil from ICC. It's over the cycle of 2016- 2023. That's for 8 years. That's about 16 million dollars a year.
2) As per tribune.com.pk, the TV broadcast rights are worth 150 mil from 2015 to 2020. However, 60 percent of that is subject to India touring Pakistan. Since that ain't happening, add 60 mil for the 5 year cycle and that comes down to 12 mil per year.
3) As per nation.com.pk, PSL earned close to 1 million dollars of profit last year. The numbers are not out yet for this year. The broadcast deal for 4 years was 15 mil as per ipfs below. As per nation.com.pk, PCB earned 2.1 million through sponsorships, 330k through rental income, 3.2 million return on investment, and another 140k through other income.
4) As per nation.com.pk, PCB earned 38 mil last year and spent 47 mil. With additional expenses, PCB posted a loss of 1.31 billion Rs. That’s around 11 million dollars
5) As per thenews.com.pk, PCB presented a DEFICIT budget of 10.6 Billion Rs. That’s 91.5 million dollars. Now there is a reason it’s called a deficit budget. A budget deficit occurs when expenditures exceed revenue, and it is an indicator of financial health. The term is typically used to refer to government spending rather than business or individual spending. When referring to accrued government deficits, the deficits form the national debt.
The point is, PCB doesn't make any profits. Hence the anxiety about India series. Where is the money for grass roots development? The facilities as per many posters here are bad because of a reason.
Now how much money does PCB need? Well, they should atleast break even and atleast pay for their own expenses instead of tipping into the Nation’s piggy bank. Once they do that, they need to take care of revamping the domestic structure. Then they need to start making profits

None of the above answers whether money equates to success.
5 out of 10 for effort though.
I'm pretty sure You did not read a single line. Even if you did, Im sure again you wouldnt understand. I posted that as a reference for a bunch of intelligent folks here. Success in a sport comes through better players. Better players come through better system. This way, you can lock in sustained success over a period of time with a pipeline of players. I mentioned sustained success abunch of times which went over your head. What that means is a team can be successful and consistent over a period of time instead of one hit wonders.
I read every line.
Not a single one answers my question, does money equate to success?
Did I say 5 out of 10? My apologies, I meant 0.5 out of 10.
Apology accepted. And thanks for the time pass. I know its tough to learn or understand these things in high school but it's good to know about your board.
Yawn. Your insecurity knows no bounds! Impressed with a letter? That's the story!
Whether in SA, UK, or UAE, point still stands, India cannot host a tournament during elections therefore cannot guarantee squat as you woefully claimed! How weal the Indian government is!
As for Pakistan not hosting a Test series. You changed your tune. A few weeks ago you included T20s too! That changed with WI touring Pakistan.
Just for you:
[utube]7ufGxqxeBJE[/utube]
Still hurt that UAE's deputy head doesnt consider pcb worthy of a personal invite? Too bad you guys are not as important as bcci.
Pakistan cannot hold a test anytime. Remedy that first.
There's that insecurity complex, a letter deemed personal by the BCCI and fellow Indian. I got news for you, it was BCCI who had to change venue, not the PCB. So why would PCB be expecting a letter worthy of a person l invite? You can fool your fellow countrymen, but no one else.
PCB merely forced BCCI to change venue.
Do you like shooting yourself in the foot? Bang bang.

Remember folks, BCCI refused to play in UAE. GOI refused to play in UAE. But no, the moment PCB raises concerns, BCCI swallow their pride for PCB and agree to play in the UAE. Who loves who, and who needs who is pretty clear as daylight.
LOVE IT.

Bcci got invited by UAE's deputy head of state to play Asia cup there. Where does PCB come in? If they had any clout to force bcci they would force them to play a bilateral series.
A letter from a deputy head of state inviting bcci to host asia cup in uae is indeed significant. Alas pcbs doesnt get such importance. Must be really hurting you. All that cricket in uae by pcb.All that brotherhood love for nothing.
Need a tissue?
Himachal govt said they wont stop any democratic protests.
State CM of WB did what she wanted to. People in bengal wanted to watch the match. If they wanted to protest bengal CM too wont have a choice.
Most Indian fans are OK with not having India-Pakistan games, heck many on social media are actually against any bilateral games. Many Indian fans i interact with have never shown a sign of frustration of not having India-Pakistan series. Most of us have moved on from it; Now we always look forward to facing Australia due to recent controversies involving these two teams.
Even in this forum you’ll find only few of them supporting India-Pakistan games, that sums up the mood of the masses in India.
Thus my statement, that you’re wrong when you said most Indians want Indi-Pakistan games.
Weren't you lecturing us the other day about not taking the bait?!
Looks like most of us find it irresistible
(For me it's a function of how much time do I have to waste)

He's really excited about the whole crown prince thing today. Easy to lecture others.
Is it due to recent phantys?.
over 324 million people watched CT final, 3rd in line of most watched ICC event.
And, Pak vs Ind were to happen again the number will be high.
So let's not take seriously of what most keyboard warrior typed up on a forum.
Australia and India champions trophy final would have not produced similar excitement.
Where does PCB come in? You were gloating BCCI received a letter and not PCB.
Why would PCB receive a letter when PCB was strong arming BCCI? BCCI was hosting the Asia Cup no? Forced at the mere words of Sethi.
Word.

Actually i am on a night shift so have time.
Dude you have been going on and on about the CP for the past 8-9 hours.
He is not far from truth. In last 10 years or so the attitude about playing Pakistan has been becoming negative.
True and honest cricket fan would never shy away from Pak Vs Ind.
And, in Asia cup after Pak will win, interest in India will come back for Pak Vs Ind.
Why are we acting like crybaby minnows?
Please, stop this kind of embarrassing threads. Even if they have decided to go ahead with this series, it's in OUR interest.
Bcci gains nothing significant from this, they're a super rich board playing with billions without us already.
They don't need us. We need them and the finances, and the money. We need to build our cricket, infrastructure and friends/diplomacy.
They're going ahead with the UAE. GOOD FOR US.
Embarrassing threads really.
Indian govt. has been consistent with not allowing a bilateral series against Pakistan. Asia Cup is not a bilateral series.
What double standards are you talking about?
GOI have always been against Bi-Lateral ties with Pakistan and have never stopped ICC games between the two sides in neutral venues. India and Pakistan over the last few years have played in Asia Cup, T20 WC, 50 over WC, CT etc. So not sure what the problem is here. UAE or not unless GOI approves, India is not playing Bi-lateral series with Pakistan. Multi nation tournaments are fine as it has always been.
There is something called being honest and patriotic Indian, thats far more important than being cricket fans.
Question is simple, when playing bilateral at UAE, BCCI refused and there reasons were Security and Bookies.
Now how those 2 fatal reasons have been eradicated automatically when BCCI got the hosting rights
Am not talking about GOI, am talking about BCCI and their funny reasons.
And that logic goes out of window when there is ICC tournament, then the points, money e.t.c are preferred over scarifies of Army Jawans and their blood.
I have never seen such patriotism like this.
The problem has never been UAE. IPL especially the networks in India are no stranger to the hotbed of fixings but it is insecurity that is at play here. It is not just cricket board as BCCI but overall the nation as one united in being insecure over Pakistan which only explains the consistent pattern that is becoming embarrassing as observed. No matter how tall BCCI may pose but BCCI will always feel small in front of Pakistan. It is not easy to get over centurions of you know what it is.
Patriotism doesnot mean that the enemy be gifted 2 free points and hence helped.

An year back BCCI refused to play with Pakistan and they said we can't play bilateral with Pakistan at UAE due to security and Bookies concern.
What happened now? BCCI is happily playing Asia Cup now at UAE because they got the hosting rights
And now there is no security issue and no bookies problems.

An all out attack on BCCI from sethi. Wow. I have to say that the stature of sethi as one of the most influencial board presidents in world cricket is growing with every passing minutes.
Man, the empire is shaking......... Coa is trembling in fear........i don't think the empire will manage to save itself from this onslaught![]()
It's a sport, not a warzone. I'd suggest keep words like "enemy" out of it.
The thing is PCB has allies, BCCI does not.
ICC, ECB, CA, so on have lost respect for BCCI.
BCCI are probably better off abandoning the ICC and playing cricket within their own country. They can have 3 seasons of IPL every year, along with an Indian Cup or something along those lines.
U seem really really upset. I sympathise with u bud. I know its been a hard day for you especially with all these negative news about BCCI coming to u from every corner. Stay strong Bro. I m sure ther will be some sort of lights at the end of the tunnel.![]()
BTW, Thank god ur patients are stable tonight. I was beginning to worry about them.
