Indian media's relentless campaign against Pakistan’s ICC Champions Trophy 2025 hosting rights

[Shoaib Akhtar 100 MPH]

Nice try but you're wrong as usual. Pakistan with their "not so weak and shallow mindset" tried to print 'UAE' on the 2021 T20 WC kit but then had to bend their knee. You guys even printed a shirt with UAE on it lol.

Atleast here these were just false media rumours with absolutely nothing officially said by the BCCI.

As usual indian propoganda.

Take your propoganda to your indian forum.

Cos we don't wanna hear it.

Propaganda is op started against india.

Op was trying to hide the own boards incompetent by bringing india here.

But after getting humiliated he is hiding now from own thread.

 

[Hitman]

A question here -

What practical damage Indian media or any other media in the world can cause to the PCB? If these are false or fabricated reports by Indian media, it's going to fall flat on their face because no amount of propaganda from anyone can cause actual damage if PCB is doing their work properly and the grounds are due to be be ready as per schedule.​

 

[Kaptan]

You are right brother. Indian media has obviously hired some top secret AI that magically transforms every picture of Pakistani stadiums into a crumbling construction site the moment it hits the internet.

Meanwhile, in reality, the glorious Gaddafi stadium looks like this

pristine, flawless and straight out of a fairy tale!

 

[BouncerGuy]

India media has a habit of making some spicy news about Pakistan. Cannot really trust them. I don't think Indian people trust their press too much.

When it comes to Pakistan, you will always find something out of the blue moon, spicy and far from reality.

[mominsaigol]

@Mesozoic go learn how to create proper news channels from Australia

 

[Itachi]

Any publicity is a good publicity. Pakistanis should be thankful to Indian media.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Stay on topic please

All the sources were reported - maybe , might be , could be .there was big IF in all those reports unlike your claimed

First Try to read carefully than make a judgement.

 

[cricketjoshila]

You brought it up because of your weak and shallow mindset.

(You) : India has been written on every jersey that pakistanis wore in 2006 CT 2011 WC 2016 T20WC 2023WC.

The difference is we have class and don't winge and whine about petty things.

Its not even a topic of debate for us at any level let alone the media.

Every year pakistanis cry and whine when the IPL is on.

YOU GUYS NEED TO TALK ABOUT THE TOPIC HERE OR ELSE FIND SOME OTHER THREAD FOR YOUR IRRELEVANT STUFF

There is no doubt that things got delayed due to different reasons because manty didn't expect that CT will take place in Pakistan. However, Indian media must be reminded that BCCI which is the richest board had also failed to upgrade Eden Gardens Kolkata stadium and Wankhade stadium on time before 2011 WC. The Ind-Eng ODI which was actually planned in Eden Garden was later shifted to Bangalore

Haha using 2010 report about indian grounds when India already hosted multiple ICC tournaments after that .

ICC official were hiding the reality of Pakistan stadium preparation that's why we have already seen some resignation amd more to follow im the coming months

Haha ... people google Pakistan cricket news and look at the articles and the tone ...its not rocket science, its laugable!

It's still a significant embarrassment. Regardless of how many matches were successfully hosted after that, the core issue is that the venue wasn’t prepared in time for a crucial ICC event. The fact that a fixture had to be canceled due to this lack of readiness is a glaring problem. It shows a failure in planning and organization, and no amount of successful matches afterward can erase the initial embarrassment of not being able to meet international standards when it mattered the most.

The decision was taken by ICC few months before the start of 2011 WC as they were totally dissatisfied with the progress at that time. No doubt BCCI is financially very strong and over the period they have developed many grounds after 2011 WC and hosted many ICC events.

On the other side Pakistan had lost entire international cricket for almost 10 years from 2009 and that deteriorated the stadiums. If Pakistan gets an opportunity to host another 1 or 2 ICC events in next 5-6 year it can certainly upgrade some other stadiums. Indian media is literally behaving like vultures

Its not ICC's job to look after the stadiums of Pakistan. PCB should have been looking after them.

This is no excuse.

India had dozens World class stadium's even in early 2010 but now we have 25+ world class stadium .

While in pakistan ,whole country is running the PR of alone stadium Lahore stadium which tell us where are they stands .still grounds are not ready after uncountable deadlines set by icc.

Latest deadline which PCB asked for the ICC to complete the grounds is 5 Feb .

This is nothing less than Big humiliation for pakistan the whole nation so pakistani friends are using India/ Indian media's to hide the own failure's.

Who told you that???.

indian propaganda .

Geoff Allardice has stepped down as the Chief Executive of the International Cricket Council (ICC) after a four-year tenure, citing a desire to pursue new challenges. His departure marks a significant shift in cricket administration at a time of major changes in the sport.

Lols. Nobody is blaming ICC for delay in construction, it's PCB's fault but the drama which has happened in last 3-4 months has confirmed that ICC is a toothless organisation and it's on deathbed.

The fact is both Eden Gardens & Wankhade wasn't ready on time before 2011 WC due to BCCI's failure. There is no need for PCB to shift matches, CT will take place as planned after few weeks and Indian media will keep running fake narrative till then, that's how they earn their bread & butter

No doubt India has 1000 beautiful stadium but the fact is that it's 2 designated venues were not ready before 2011 WC. Pakistan have good number of stadiums to host ICC tournaments and everything will go ahead as planned.

You can't hide fake stories planted by Indian media in last few months to mislead the people and you will keep getting such fabricates stories till the end of CT.

 

[BouncerGuy]

As per reports:

India's captain, Rohit Sharma, is unlikely to travel to Pakistan for the captains' interaction event ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This decision is primarily due to security concerns, with India opting to play all their matches in Dubai instead of traveling to Pakistan. If India qualifies for the final, it will also be held in Dubai.

The uncertainty around Rohit's travel plans, along with similar concerns from other teams like England and Australia, has led the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to cancel traditional pre-tournament events, including the press conference and official photo shoot involving all eight captains, which were initially scheduled to take place in Karachi.

This marks a significant change in protocol, as captains typically gather for such events before ICC tournaments. However, given the circumstances, Rohit Sharma will not attend the captains' conference in Karachi.

Wankhede was ready by the deadline. Eden Gardens wasn't and matches were shifted.

PCB has been extending deadlines. The latest is 5th February. What if that's missed. What's the contingency plan?

ICC should have had a contingency plan and a decision to shift matches to alternate venues should have been made long back.

The ICC CEO messed it up.

But now there's a new regime in charge of ICC and such poor decision making won't be tolerated.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Media's is going to do what they have to. They can't go against Indian government's narrative.

But what's disappointing is the attitude and direction of fellow Indian Cricket fans. I expected better.

 

[Buzzinga]

So @Major disappeared from his own thread lol. Must be humiliating to claim something and not able to provide a single source to back it up.

So far all the sources provided have- 'if' 'maybe' 'might be' in it.

 

[Shoaib Akhtar 100 MPH]

Irony is that you're still using indian sources.

I know which shows my balanced approach versus your inidan propaganda channels and outlets.

I know you might fight it hard to believe that an indian media outlet could run the truth.

The irony.

No Wankhade missed all initial deadlines, it just got ready on time. It hosted 30th match of that WC which was started on 19th Feb. The biggest blunder of ICC is that they announced the schedule of CT only 2 months before the tournament. ICC cannot survive for long if it will work under influence of 2-3 boards. International cricket needs better advertising, planning and management by ICC but it is failing in all these aspects

Wankhede got ready and was approved on 27th January 2011 along with Colombo and Hembantota.

ICC shifted the February 27 match out of Eden on 27th January. One month before the match.

Here ICC is extending deadlines after deadlines and the tournament is 19 days away. Why? No one knows. This is one of the reasons for the sack of Allardyce.


Scheduling has nothing to do with anything here. ICC and PCB knew which stadiums would host the games months before.

ICC is surviving because of 2-3 boards and their revenue. Around 90 per cent from BCCI.

Question should be who influenced the ICC into giving PCB such a long rope? History shows even BCCI doesn't get it.

Mohsin Naqvi, while addressing the media at Gaddafi Stadium Lahore:

"Some people across the border are trying to find any flaws. If even a stone is misplaced, they are attempting to point it out, but InshaAllah, they won’t find any flaws."

"There's also some talk about the seats in the stadium, which came from China. These are international standard chairs, with a 20-year warranty, and we are confident they will be up to expectations."

"As we upgraded the stadium, we added new features like a better sound system, bigger screens, and LED lights. We decided to surrender some of the ICC’s tickets to increase our revenue, which was a tough decision."

No Wankhade was ready even before hosting rights were awarded to India. CT is a small tournament with only 15 matches in comparison to WC 2011 in which 49 matches were played. Relax, it's only a matter of few more weeks. CT will be successfully hosted by Pakistan after that no body will talk about these issues
