Pahalgam attack: Will India flatly refuse to play Pakistan in all tournaments?

[BouncerGuy]

I think we might be seeing even fewer indo-pak games, especially group stage games in ICC events. Asia cup will also get sabotaged now... Things are going from bad to worse.

This is what exactly you wanted when Indian refused to go for Pakistan to play champion trophy.

Pakistan fans were saying why India - Pakistan are always placed in a same group in any ICC events .

Mubaraka your wish about to granted.

That has been worth 1.5X other India games. A minor dip considering rest of the tournament.

We can joke about the stance but let's be honest if it is causes Indian heartache to play against Pakistan and it's not longer enjoyable then it makes sense for them not to play.

Hopefully the time comes when both countries are ready to play cricket without the emotional trauma for our neighbours.

It's a shame to see the damage it's done to innocent people. The PSL production staff did nothing wrong, they just happen to be Indian.

Have these good people suddenly changed and now need to be deported? It's just point scoring but these guys will have lost their livelihoods.

We share many great memories and emotions with our Indian neighbours. Some good, some bad but that's sport. I don't think our next generations will feel any of the ties we felt. Yes the Indians will claim they can have the same experience with Australians but it won't be the same humour, language and cultural experiences that made our bonds so great.

Walls will now be put up. Not just in cricket but across all walks of life. I don't see them coming down in our lifetimes.

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

These guys are blind nationalists. One Indian poster was even defending Indian call center scammers. ROFL.

Beautiful game of cricket has been ruined by India. It is a tragedy.

We should be glad then that Bangladesh is ever present to lighten the atmosphere through comic relief.

BCCI's sweeping step after Pahalgam attack, writes to ICC over Pakistan matches; Asia Cup decision put on hold: Report

In the wake of the deadly terror attack in south Kashmir's Pahalgam, where 26 civilians lost their lives on Tuesday, there have been rumours that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) took a sweeping step by writing a letter to the International Cricket Council (ICC), urging them to no longer club India and Pakistan together in the same group for ICC tournaments.

According to a report in Cricbuzz, BCCI no longer wishes for an India-Pakistan face-off, at least in the group stages of an ICC event. However, the next big ICC tournament is in September, with India hosting the Women's ODI World Cup. Pakistan qualified for the eight-team tournament, where each team will play against all other participants in a round-robin format. As per the pre-decided arrangement, Pakistan will not be playing any of their matches in India, with the host nation yet to zero in on the neutral venue.

Earlier, BCCI vice-president Rajeev Shukla confirmed that the board would follow whatever the Indian government decided, but the report also added that a top BCCI official told the website that such a development was news to him.

What about the Asia Cup?

Regarding men's cricket, the next ICC tournament is in 2026, with the T20 World Cup being hosted in India and Sri Lanka between February and March. However, the immediate concern for the BCCI is the Asia Cup, which will be held in September with India as the host. Although Cricbuzz had earlier reported that the tournament would be entirely played at a neutral venue, with Dubai and Sri Lanka as likely venues,

The fresh report on the website, however, highlighted: "The Asian Cricket Council (ACC) has sold the media rights for the Asia Cup - valued at $170 million for four editions - based on an unofficial understanding that each edition will feature at least two India-Pakistan matches, with the possibility of a third if the teams meet in the final. The media rights deal is middle-heavy than front-or back-loaded, which means the 2025 edition would cost around $ 38 million, instead of the average value of $ 42.5 million."

In the previous edition of the continental tournament, held in 2023, India and Pakistan faced each other twice—once in the group stage and once in the Super Four. The second match was washed out as Pakistan failed to make the final. India won the tournament, beating Sri Lanka in the final.

The report concluded that while the Asia Cup draw was expected to be out in May, the Asian Cricket Council might take time to ponder its options, both for the draw and the venue. "The general impression is that any final decision will hinge on the escalation or de-escalation of prevailing tensions between India and Pakistan," it added.

The way you lot behave in general, Bangladeshis come off as real sophisticated to be really honest.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Asia cup should be cancelled. There is too much bad blood in Asia at the moment. Afghans and Indians are against Pakistan. Pakistanis and Bangladeshis are against India.

The region is on tenterhooks. I fear that if there is even one Nagin dance between Lankans and Bangladesh then all out continental war will break out. We must not take that risk.

 

[Mesozoic]

Time has come when India will now face Pakistan only by accident and not by design in ICC/ACC Tournaments.

And to be honest, the hype for the yearly Indo-Pak ICC event game is now pretty much gone and the recent Champions Trophy match was the indication for it. Pakistan's weak and meek cricket team is not helping draw any interest from the Indian market these days and we'll finally see the two teams being placed in different groups.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

This guy does not miss a single chance.

Its also possible what he said is true.
Any ways, Fallout of recent events on the game we love and cherish?
I doubt if Asia cup will even be played -leave alone India playing Pak on a netural venue like UAE/SL

BCCI denies reports of requesting ICC not to put India and Pakistan in same group for upcoming events- Report​

There are the men's Asia Cup and ICC Women's World Cup events where India and Pakistan will clash.​

Since the Pahalgam attacks, there has been widespread conjecture that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has written to the International Cricket Council (ICC), demanding that India and Pakistan not be placed in the same group for future global events. As with many similar things, there are facts and alternate facts.



For the record, BCCI vice-president Rajeev Shukla has previously stated that the Board will accept the government's advice in this situation. A senior BCCI official also informed Cricbuzz that such a situation is new to him. The BCCI authorities are sensitive to the current public mood, but there is no validity to the supposition.


There is no immediate men’s ICC event scheduled, and the earliest ICC event is the Women’s World Cup 2025, which will be played in India in September-October. Pakistan has qualified for it and the eight-team tournament is held in an all-play-all round-robin format, with no groupings involved.


According to the pre-tournament agreement, Pakistan's matches would be played in a neutral location. As the chosen host, the BCCI will need to choose a location, but there is still time before a final selection is made. Australia, England, New Zealand, South Africa, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh, in addition to India and Pakistan, make up the eight teams.



However, before the ODI Women's World Cup, there is the men's Asia Cup, which will be hosted by the BCCI. As first reported by Cricbuzz, it has been determined that it will be hosted in a neutral country, with September as the designated date.


The question of Dubai or Sri Lanka hosting the event is secondary, but the main question is the financial aspect of the tournament and whether India and Pakistan are put in the same group.


The Asian Cricket Council (ACC) has sold the broadcast rights to the Asia Cup, valued at $170 million for four years, on the tacit understanding that each edition will have at least two India-Pakistan matches, with the chance of a third if the teams meet in the final. The media rights deal is middle-heavy rather than front- or back-loaded, thus the 2025 edition will cost roughly $ 38 million, as opposed to the average value of $42.5 million.


The last Asia Cup 2023 was held in hybrid model as Pakistan were the hosts. India played all of their games in Sri Lanka, including the final, that they won. India and Pakistan faced off twice - once in the league stage and again in the Super Four.


The 2018 edition's venue has yet to be revealed, however Cricbuzz understands that the draw was originally scheduled for May. However, with enough time left, it may now be postponed. The widespread sense is that any final decision will be based on the escalation or de-escalation of current tensions between India and Pakistan.

Shenanigans from BCCI....LOL

 

[Local.Dada]

The broadcasters would be mighty annoyed if this were to happen.

The broadcasters are all Indian. While I am sure they won’t be happy with taking a financial loss, don’t think they will complaint openly. Making a hue and cry about Ind-Pak matches will affect their brand value.

It is what it is. World will move on just like we are used to not seeing Pak players in IPL.

 

[sweep_shot]

I hope ICC will stop putting Pakistan and India in the same group every single time. It reduces the integrity of the competition.

Group selections should be random.

Very sad to see you refer to human beings killed in an attack as trees. Reality of Indians is being exposed day by day.

 

[straighttalk]

Exactly, @Major has exposed you hypocrites on this forum quite well since yesterday.

You can pay back with interest by shooting down a bunch of trees or birds all you want, but cricketers have no role in this and actively asking for innocent people losing their livelihoods is sick and demented too. Then again, it’s hypocrisy is a trait thats best reserved for your lot so this isn’t surprising.

With all due respect.

You are the hypocrite...your miandad son married dawood daughter .waqar says saying sajda in front of Hindus or some such gutter filth..some other says victory for Islam or for Gaza or what not .Afridi says similar filth ...so they reflect your nations mindset...so don't come and call India hypocrites...

And what trees and bird are you on about..your country blocks the area for months to protect the birds I guess... But I agree is bar 1971 jaise public humiliation hona chaiye...93000 fuckers in jail and the country divided in half...never seen such a salami cut of a large country in recent times.

And ...we're off! Again.

 

[mominsaigol]

So no more India vs Pakistan games in world cups for the foreseeable future ig.

My guess is it'll be rigged to the point that India and Pakistan can only meet in finals. Bcci will demand to ensure that they don't meet in semi finals either.

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

It is abhorrent to dehumanise people, doesn’t matter who’s doing it.

But posters with a track record of racism (like the ones who’ve just posted above me) have no moral ground at all.

India Pakistan relations are down the tube and will keep heading that way. Cricket relations will further deteriorate.

I think it’s a pity - on the Indian side we have boastful, arrogant leadership while Pakistan has a weakling for a Prime Minister and a self serving, cunning upstart for a chief of army staff.

May be Stop Celebrating Attacks By BLA and stop inviting Separatists on your TV Shows and openly boast about Assassinations that happened in Pak in last few months before trying to make us feel bad about 26 dead last week. Pakistani Establishment was busy controlling its own people and had lost all the love it had in public. There Was no need to fuel the fire on our western borders by Supporting TTP and BLA .. Kashmir was in relative peace. But Stupid Indians gave another reason for our so called Establishment to become relevant.. You play stupid Games you win stupid Prizes

Bla is paka internal matter ..we can enjoy the country breaking apart..it's not as if we are sending bla folks to Pakistan.

Freedom of speech....you jail your opposition leaders and perform military coup every five years ..in India you have freedom of speech in a democracy...so can't stop anyone from coming and speaking. Are you afraid to hear the truth. Are they terrorists or just want freedom form tyranny. Hoenst question as I don't follow who came to our channels.

Did the Indian govt boast....who got assassinated ..a stone cold terrorist piglet..maybe stop housing them and us wont come in kill Osama and leave unharmed and India also won't need to do any assassination in your soil.

So where did India send criminal terrorists to murder innocent's in cold blood like your army does. And this is not the first time.

 

[kingusama92]

The maximum that will happen is that the Asia Cup will get cancelled/postponed.

Meddling with the ICC matches is more of a "I have to see it to believe it" scenario. It's possible but highly unlikely considering how the BCCI navigates these situations.

They are well aware that the next ICC tournament is a year away and things will simmer down by then.
