There are two solutions to the problem -
1) Stop over broadcaster revenue and keep India out.
2) No more tournaments to be hosted in Pakistan.
If people are not happy with either solution, then just cry in the corner and accept life.
Personally I beleive there is a bigger issue. Like Test Championship final being in favor of SENA teams, this CT is heavily tilted in Bharat's favor.
Look, India’s stance is very clear- we don’t let Pakistan profit off us nor remotely put our cricketers in any kind of danger. PCB could have told India to eff off, but they chose our money. Thats how the world works - the powerful get away with dictating terms, just like England & Australia did back in the days. The only solution is to become powerful enough to dictate terms like India did and nothing stops Pak or Bangladesh from doing that.
Nobody freaking cares about the asterisk marks, it’s the title that counts. Nobody brings up anymore England winning a WC on the basis of no. of boundaries or a ‘Hand of God’ kinda situation, what history books will show is that they won a WC. This is how it works.I can't think of any other major sport where one team receives so many blatant perks. Definitely an unfair advantage.
I think all of India's titles after 2011 WC should have asterisk marks (just like Bumrah's wickets).
Thats a bit of a different situation due to security and etc...however no security issues in UAE, India could have easily had matches in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and SharjahIf India had gone to Pakistan to play the champion trophy then they would have played all the matches at the Lahore .
Despite the New York surface not being the best, India was the only team I believe to play there first 3 games in New York, so they got custom to the pitch and surface and that was an unfair advantage.
Why did India play all there matches in US than comes down to greed from ICC and Broadcasters, as per the knockout stages their was people moaning about it as well, but this is fault of ICC and Broadcasters, but India did get an advantage in there group stages matches as well, playing all 3 games in new york did give them an upper hand, for those matches.
Even if your playing a weak opponent, they still had an unfair advantage in the group stages, however staying on topic for the Champions trophy, the reality is, that India, if they go to the finals would have PLAYED all 5 matches at the same venue, so tell me how is that not an advantage for India.
tell me other instances where India got the other end of the stick, after 2011 world cup, it seems like all favors have been done for India.
You cant compare a tri-series, with an ICC event, PCB and ICC was going to agree with the hybrid model, which for me is not the biggest issue, but having all YOUR games in on stadium is clearly an advantage, when India could have easily played a game in Abu Dhabi and Sharjah. End of Story.
Technically you can compare. Why would they waste money for hosting in different venues just for one team? It is financially a stupid decision. IT is a very short tournament as it is. One team can play a maximum of 5 matches. Minimum of 3 matches. THey played two matches on two different pitches. That is the least they can do. You can't go around "simulating" the "suffering" if you can call it equally for a stupid tournament like this.
Lol, to satisfy your imaginary conspiracy theories, Indian team should have been made to play at different venues in UAE.
You are regurgitating the same stuff. Why don’t you respond to the fact that this is what PCB agreed to and infact claimed as negotiation victory? That they could have refused to bend over or arranged for multiple venues across UAE for India. India was happy to walk out of Champions Trophy, so why was PCB insistent on them playing?Agree.
Anyone with a functioning brain can see India always get unfair advantages/special perks.
During this CT:
- India have all games in Dubai. They don't have to move.
- Final group stage game is India's game so that they know what to do in case NRR is a factor.
- India have sufficient gaps between their games. So, they are rested well.
- Their semi-final and final venue is already fixed.
Do any other team receive these perks? I don't think so.
Cricket has become quite farcical.
If you look at carefully those who whined about it got eliminated already. They were eliminated not because India played on the same ground. They were eliminated because they suck.
Exactly, they all need to blame it on a villain to hide their own pathetic performance and that villain is conveniently India.
England is traditionally known for whinging. Bangladesh fans have mastered the art of coping. Since the days they got the national status their loss is always due to somebody else or something else, not them. Imagine San Marino team fans (world's worst football country) mocking France for losing the final lol That is why I just ignore those trolls. Not worth our time.
It not BCCI responsibility/ Choice to fix the venue's but Host pakistan then ICC approved it.
England had lost the back to Back match playing at the same venue ( Lahore)
Agree
Despite being the bigger host (hosting far more no. of matches than other co hosts, BD & SL), India travelled to Dhaka to play its inaugural match there in CWC 2011.
One Group's all matches should have been scheduled in UAE. 1 Semifinal + Final (if India qualifies) should have been scheduled there... But then a group match between India vs. Pakistan would be denied. (As there's less chance of Ind vs. Pak in knockouts these days, Pakistan aren't progressing from group stage). So it seems like there's still economic interest in India vs. Pakistan matches, but they are exhibiting artificial reluctance...
Whatever will be the result I'm always rooting for team india and doesn't depend on others team's to prove a point.
Can't wait for 20 Feb When we Will smashed Bangladesh then end the Pakistani fan's dream of winning the champion trophy on 23 Feb at the Dubai . Pakistan fan's will be like - ye tournaments to start hote hi end ho gya apna
His predictions are never right. He was dead wrong about BGT, dead wrong about NZ test series, Dead wrong about wc 2023.
There playing in one country UAE, and the distances are not far either Dubai to Sharjah 1 hour and 15 minutes drive, and Dubai to Abu Dhabi is 1 hour and 30 minutes by drive, you guys are acting like each location is 5 hours away. Everyone knows ICC is basically BCCI. So hosting matches in other stadiums would cost too much for BCCIIt not BCCI responsibility/ Choice to fix the venue's but Host pakistan then ICC approved it.
Playing the match at the three vanues will cost too much for PCB and ICC.
Logistics issues are another reason .
Exactly spot on mate.Agree.

Cricket has become quite farcical.
You can compare, a tri- series is a tri-series and was used for practice purposes, ICC event is an ICC event, there is no comparison. Like you said its 5 game tournament, if one team can play all 5 matches in one venue, its an advantage. India could easily had 2 matches and dubai, 1 in sharjah, and have semi final in abu dhabi as an example, that way it would still make sense and be fair.
Yes it is easy the locations of the other stadiums are a little more 1 hour away, there not like 5 or 6 hours away. This could have been done very easily.
Lol traveling distance is not only include in logistics issue.
You can easily have matches in 2 locations if not 3, but lets say okay 3 venues, is too much for this rich and all powerful broadcasters, India could have easily had matches in 2 locations (dubai and abu dhabi) there would be no issues there for crew to set up if they just have to go to another location 1 or 2.Lol traveling distance is not only includein logistics issue.
You can't host the champion trophy more than 3-4 venue due to champion trophy budget.
Adding two extra vanue is not possible because broadcasters have to set-up full crew team's in every grounds .
Kabhi to logical bat kiya karo .
Its PCB responsibility to choose the venue so ask the question to PCB not ICC or BCCI
What do you achieve by just changing the venue? Tell me? Anyway it is only for one team. As it is logistics are tricky with 2 host countries. Why would you want to shift around venues just for one country? Unless you think UAE is also a host nation and they deserve equal amount of profit your suggestion makes no sense. UAE is not a host nation. They don't have to make arrangements in 3 different places just for one team. Besides this decision was finalized by Naqvi. It is too ignorant of all these experts talking about it when the agreement was reached upon long back. Even the scheudle was drawn in December, 2024. It says Dubai. Dubai has just 2 cricket stadiums. Only one is international. If you really want to scream foul, scream at PCB. WHy did they agree and you guys celebrated that agreement was a blow to BCCI?

Champions Trophy 2025: Dubai to host all India matches, including the knockouts if India qualify
The final has been allocated to Lahore, but will be played in Dubai if India make the title roundwww.espncricinfo.com
As reported by ESPNcricinfo on Sunday, the decision to host India's matches at the eight-team Champions Trophy away from Pakistan, the official host country, and in the UAE was finalised after Mohsin Naqvi, the PCB chairman, met with Sheikh Nahyan Al Mubarak in Pakistan. Sheikh Nahyan is a senior UAE minister and also the head of the Emirates Cricket Board.
Predicting the Pakistan cricket team future is so easy if you have cricketing knowledge
when someone constructively criticizes our country.
There is nothing constructive about your criticism, we all know your bias and agenda. And atleast we are proud of our own country and cricketers, not simping about others.It has nothing to do with my country's pathetic performance. I don't watch cricket for BD alone. Even if BD don't play cricket, I would probably still watch cricket because I love this sport and I used to play cricket at club level myself.
You see, unlike Indians, we Bangladeshis are mature enough to handle constructive criticism. We don't jump around like
Do not think all nationalities think/behave like you Indians. We are not immature blind nationalists.
Then why bother following this blatantly compromised game? Must have something better to do in life, no?It is not a conspiracy that ICC is now BCCICC.
The perks that Indian cricket team enjoy are very blatant. We are not blind.
Thank God, you are nowhere near the committee which organizes these games.
NZ adapts to different situations, conditions better than others. Teams that can't do that don't win but whine. Remember what they did in 2019 world cup. In the 2019 wc match against India they deliberately reduced side boundary to 59 meter in a do or die game to deal with kuldeep. England, Bangladesh are big time whiners. Australia uses this to play mind games.Same Ground , Same Hotel , Same dressing Room , Massive Advantage of playing in same condition compared to other team's but England still lost
Whatever Bangladesh says or does doesn't matter.
No cricket board has issue with this arrangement. That is what counts. Fans crying foul is irrelevant here. But these former cricketers who are crying foul should do little research before crying.
U should have self conscience first to be constructive criticActually, my criticisms are quite constructive in nature.
Now? This has been the case for close to a couple decades.It is not a conspiracy that ICC is now BCCICC.
The perks that Indian cricket team enjoy are very blatant. We are not blind.
Oh yeah, you are the epitome of unbiased behaviour and constructive criticism.Indian posters basically want others to bootlick India 24/7. Any form of constructive criticism is generally met with hostile responses. They don't have the maturity to process a constructive criticism.
All of their achievements after 2013 should have asterisk marks.
Sure, whatavoutism is childish.
@Devadwal did you see how Pakistanis are treating that journalist? I saw a video where one guy was in tears able to meet him. Never seen craze of a sports journalist like this
We should have just let our team go there man. Imagine Kohli scoring a century in Lahore...people will go crazy. Imagine what attention superstar like Pandya will get. Imagine how much nihari Rohit could have feasted on.
Look, India beating Pakistan was given. But what better than beating them in their home and at the same time gaining adulation. Also, no one would have talked about this undue advantage etc.
We missed to witness all of that thanks to politics man.
And atleast we have achievement to put an asterisk on.Indian posters basically want others to bootlick India 24/7. Any form of constructive criticism is generally met with hostile responses. They don't have the maturity to process a constructive criticism.
All of their achievements after 2013 should have asterisk marks.
Normal fans: Yes. It is an unfair advantage. We acknowledge and condemn.
Indian fans: $#%#%#@@@@!!!! How dare you call it unfair? $#%#%#@@@@!!!!
