Sports minister Vijay Goel has ruled out a bilateral cricket series between India and Pakistan. Speaking to reporters in New Delhi on Monday, the minister said “cricket and terrorism can’t go hand-in-hand.”

India and Pakistan, however, will play each other in the ICC Champions Trophy in UK next month. Both teams are in the same group and clash at Edgbaston, Birmingham on June 4.

Board of Control for Cricket in India and Pakistan Cricket Board officials are scheduled to meet in Dubai to discuss a bilateral series, but Goel’s message to BCCI is very clear.

According to the ICC Future Tours Programme, the Indian cricket team is scheduled to play Pakistan in a bilateral series later this year but hostilities from across the border are likely to scupper any chance of a cricket series.

India says 'No' to bilateral cricket with Pakistan

India says 'No' to bilateral cricket with Pakistan

NEW DELHI: Indian government, yet again, has played down the possibility of India-Pakistan bilateral cricket series in near future.

Minister of Sports Vijay Goel said on Monday that as long as terrorism exists in Pakistan, a cricket series between the two countries is not possible.

"BCCI should speak to the government before giving any proposal to Pakistan. I have made it clear that bilateral cricket with Pakistan is not possible till the time there is cross-border terror. We have, however, no say on multilateral events (ICC tournaments)," he told the media.

The PCB has already sent a legal notice to BCCI claiming damages worth USD 60 million (Rs 387 crore approx) for not honouring the MoU designed to conduct five bilateral series between India and Pakistan between 2015 and 2023.

Top officials from the BCCI and PCB are scheduled to meet in order to discuss the MoU signed between the two countries.

India have not played any bilateral cricket with Pakistan since 2007, although in the winter of 2012-13, Pakistan made a short goodwill tour to India that included three One Day Internationals and two Twenty20 Internationals.

wow i am surprised that GOI has reacted like this. PCB should never have signed that MOU with them its obvious the current GOI wants nothing to do with Pakistan. PCB should have beem smarter and said we want guaranteed GOI approval of a potential MOU before we sign it.

It would be nice to see Indo-Pak bilateral contests again but we arent going to die without them.
 
And pakistan is keen on playing with india despite indias continuous terrorism in pakistan through their agents.
 
I don't care. No Pak fan I knows gives a toss about playing India in a bilateral series anymore.

We shouldn't play them either in these ICC tournaments either where Indian hypocrisy gets exposed as they need the massive television money.

There should be complete ban with them, end of.
 
Wouldn't be a popular move right now for the GOI to give go ahead to cricket given the fact that they themselves have been beating the nationalist drum in the last few years.

Sad to see cricket becoming the victim of politics.
 
This sheheryar guy is very pathetic, embarrassing all of us again and again. When BCCI is not interested to play then why you go again and again. Just leave them and concentrate playing with other nations.
 
Sport and Art should never be influenced by media. I'm actually Pakistan as a nation has not become a victim of this.

Love for the country trumps love for anything else. :ashwin

Anyways when two countries are having such poor relations its better to let things cool down before engaging.

why did Pakistan boycott the Moscow olympics in 1980 and India tour of 1992 and 93 and even the Asia Cup of 1990 in INDIA?
 
and yet terrorism goes out of the window once it comes to playing us in tournaments.

Why not show some proper character and refuse to play us in tournaments too..

Question for our resident BCCI spokesperson:
Why don't you refuse to play us in ICC Tournaments too?

Sixty-six countries did not participate in the Moscow Olympics. It was because of the tyranny of the Soviet Union. - Similar to the boycott of Apartheid South Africa because of their racism. You simply don't have a choice. You can't blame Pakistan. India participated because they were "pithu's" of the Soviet Union despite how unethical the Soviets were similar to how Bangladesh follows India today. - Also, India is the ONLY country not playing with Pakistan, unlike 65 other countries who boycotted Moscow Olympics.

Any-who, the events you've mentioned were decades ago. I was speaking of more recent times generally. In the world of smartphones and computers and this fast paced life, it is absolutely astounding of India to involve politics into Cinema, Sport, Culture and Art, especially when the two countries share such common interests. Pakistan allowed Pakistani directors to cast actors such as Om Puri, Naseeruddin Shah, etc where as the Indian Govt. has banned Pakistani actors from being given roles in Indian films.

Be honest with yourself and stop being a blind nationalist. Accept where your country is wrong. Feeding your delusion only because it helps you sleep at night will get you far in the world.
 
Then why they play against Pakistan in ICC Tournaments? What kind of Ego it is?

Point is to make things uncomfortable for Pakistan. Dont let them earn money from India.Dont let them earn easy points.Hope things are clear now.

US allies didnot participate in Moscow olympics.Pakistan danced to US tunes. India has always been independent in its foreign policy thats why it particpated in both 1980 moscow olympics boycotted by US allies and 1984 Los Angeles boycotted by Soviet allies. We very well know who is whose "PITTHU". There was a UN ban on South Africa,was there a UN ban on Soviet Union?

Thing is in early 90s Pakistan was a superstar team and a World Champion,BCCI was not that rich a board so Pakistan could afford to skip India. Now BCCI is rich and any tour by India is worth millions.This is the reason Pakistan is dying to play with India,for money.


My country is not wrong.My country reserves the right to downgrade relations with govts of other countries which are hostile to it.

as if BCCI decides the schedule and groupings, eh? Thakur last year told ICC to keep both sides in different groups, only if you remember.
 
India are on a major power trip. Don't want to disturb the balance of power. If politics and sports went habd in hand they should've refused to play us on 4th June. But nope. They want to be in the limelight for everything. Wow.

Hypocrisy was there when PCB compromised with its anti-big3 stand in anticipation of million of dollars coming their way because of IND.
 
Anybody could see it from a mile away. The only reason BCCI went to the Government of India was to avoid legal action from PCB.

I can't believe what I read now, the point is to make Pakistan uncomfortable? What rubbish is this? And you support this nonesense?
 
PCB is doing fine without playing with India.

It is time PCB move on from arranging a series vs India. It is not going to happen for another 4-5 years.

What anybody did 25 or 35 years ago is irrelevant. People should learn to live in present. No country other than India brings politics into sports.
 
Why not cancel 4th of June match to pay back India? ICC will loose money and can recover from India. Unfortunately in PCB we have young timid kids who don't have courage to take bold decision.

yes but boycotting Pakistan in a major world event would be even better ... the points lost would be well worth it. Right now our current stand sends a message that implies: "Whatever wrong Pakistan is doing is not *THAT* bad that we forfeit 2 points in a Cricket tournament ".
 
I don’t know why PCB is so desperate to play India. They should stop begging and making a fool out of themselves. How many more times do they want to get rejected from India. Pakistan needs to step up and stop spreading Terrorism in India. If Pakistan wants to prosper they need to be respectable with India, otherwise they will be isolated more by the international community. India is the next big thing, and Pakistan should accept that.

neighbors acting too naive here. The reason why we lost clout in ICC is the same reason why we play in CT. BCCI was ready to pull out but CoA appointed by SC didn't let them. And STAR SPORT would have made ICC to shell out INR 120 billion had India pulled out.
 
Nothing surprising. Greedy Indians are finding ways to avoid not paying what they committed to. Keep passing the buck boys ��

Because Pakistan will lose points and their progression will become difficult.

Pakistan and Israel do not play any common sport. Neither had Pakistan played against Israel in a multi nation tournament but refused a bilateral game.

Try again.

Yes for BCCI those 2 points worth of people's life. Smart move by BCCI to avoid any legal issue by blaming the government. Why can't mr. Nawaz do the same?

Ugh going back on your word doesn't earn you any respect so don't expect it till you own up to what you say. The whole world knows India doesn't keep its word - maybe you missed the recent 9-1 vote to revamp the ICC

I have no problem if India do not want to play a bilateral series against Pakistan but it is a hypocrisy when they have no problem playing in a tournament or they play other sports with Pakistan.

The link you posted has teams which do NOT face each other in any sport in any tournament.

that was not because of ICC but because of one of our own and our Supreme Court. PCB tried to take credit for dimantling BIG 3 but as usual nobody bought it.

That doesn't even make sense!!

I'm sure a large majority of Indian's have some self respect and it's only the few that frequent a Pakistan site that are the ones who lack self esteem.
