I don’t understand what’s wrong with Mohsin Naqvi? This is not your fight! There is no need to give these bombastic statements in the media invoking government involvement!

India went ahead and still played the Asia cup under your leadership after Bunyan al Marsoos. They got on with cricket and business. Yes their behaviour was $hit but they fulfilled their obligation!

You’ve done well to make this World Cup a co-host program and have all your matches in Sri Lanka. They have been fair in accommodating PCB/Pakistan. Do not be stupid and backtrack due to a matter that has none of your concern!


Nobody, and I mean NOBODY stood up for Pakistan in its years of exile since 2009! Everyone went ahead and got their money! What is the need for Pakistan to become this hero all of a sudden??

Just let it go! Do not be stupid and make this about your bloody ego!

The World Cup was always co-host. Pakistan did nothing.
 
@Rana bhai,

A man is a prisoner of his principles. These are moments when logics go out of the window and emotions, pride take over.

Although I don't agree with you on most things
They happily snatched our 2011 cricket world cup matches and cancelled tours in 2012

We haven't forgotten the past
 
Screw this redundant tournament

Pakistan should boycott this redundant tournament and hurt the wallets of BCCI and other boards who want to implement a cast system in international cricket

Also, the so called Pakistani team is not even selected based on merit

Half of these players have retained their spots in the team despite the repeated failures because they are appeasers of Pak Generals

I want Pakistan to boycott but I know that Naqvi is just raising his own profile by discussing the potential boycott. Pakistan most likely will play the World Cup because cricket diverts attention from the real issues in Pakistan like the de facto martial law

That was previous regime (Hasina's regime) and they were very anti-Pakistan.

Current regime have a friendlier relation with Pakistan.

Anyway, Pakistan shouldn't boycott this WC in my opinion. They already won by having all of their games outside of India.
 
The argument that nobody ever stood for Pakistan is timely irrelevant

Now someone is willing to stand with Pakistan in form of BD

The BCB was previously dictated by Indians because the BD PM was literally selected by India

Sheikh Hasina won the elections when the BD's opposition boycotted them

Only a small percentage of population voted. The elections were only accepted by Modi but that was enough for Hasina for legitimacy

That's one of the many important reasons behind the current animosity towards India in BD

This I don’t have a problem with,

But to back out of entire tournament is unacceptable IMO!

No being the entire tournament down by boycotting. Hurt every board which supported BCCI politics here

Buy then again we are just wasting our time discussing it because PCB will play the tournament

Naqvi just wants the spotlight for him presently

Many Pakistanis don't follow BD politics

They make misinformed decisions
 
Lol the press conference title is ‘PCB Merchandise Launch’.

We can’t boycott, Naqvi knows ICC will rip us apart in courts and inflict heavy sanctions.

Just doesn’t make sense.
 
Pakistan can’t legally pull of the world T20, Naqvi is making BCCI life miserable adding extra pressure from broadcasters.
Think about it what legal grounds they have to pull out of T20 World Cup,
But remember when India was to tour Pakistan for champions trophy they didn’t confirm it till the last min.
Hats off to Naqvi for taking the fight to BCCI

You guys wanted Bangladesh to boycott. Ignoring the obvious trolls obviously, you were ok if they lost out on money and their fans deprived of cricket and cricketers of their livelihood 🤔

Apne pe baat aati hai to logic dhoondhlo. Mujhko Ranaji maaf karna 🙏

If you are a true Pakistani fan, I would suggest to watch the World Cup games vs India at home with your family lol
That’s what I do

Pakistan needs to boycott India vs Pakistan no matter where in the world it is. this triggers ICC and BCCI and the Indian public. Pakistani don't really care much about this fixture.

Take out India vs Pak match, then Pak utility will be 0. Only option will be to play against SL and WI C teams in a war zone type secure stadiums with full security and Tapal tea. First 2 series you can watch to rub it in to India but then it will also wear thin after a couple of months. So please feel free to try such stunts.
 
Will be funny if Pak boycotts and then through back channel talks we get Bangladesh back in 🤣🤣🤣

Asking for too much but boy whatta masterstroke it will be :genius
 
What this charade has done is that it’s put a target on our backs, for when this pathetic team gets booted out of the World Cup before the semis (or maybe even the super 8s), Indians will have a field day with it.

its not going to happened your Indian broadcasters and Indian ICC chairman will come running after Pakistan begging for India vs Pakistan.

this one fixture in India is sold like a blockbuster movie releasing in cinemas the Indian public will be gutted too if they don't get to see this fixture and more likely the ICC tournaments will go back to every 4 years again.
 
Pakistan supported Bangladesh morally in the ICC as much as possible but that is as far as they should go. There is no reason to die for someone else's fight. Leave the matter between BCCI and BCB. Don't forget the attitude of the BCB with regards to the PCB and Pakistani Cricketers from 2009 to 2025.

I'm sure BCCI and ICC are shaking in their becos this is the first time Pak has done drama at world cup
 
Bangladesh is like a brother to us, and it's high time we acknowledge the unfair treatment they have received from us in the past. This is our golden opportunity to make things right and strengthen the bond between our nations.

It is crucial to remember that not everything is about money. In our culture, brotherhood holds a significant place, and we pride ourselves on the value we place on these relationships.
 
Will be shocked if we boycott having agreed the hybrid model compromise recently.

Think Naqvi is simply trolling BCCI here.

Appreciate the gesture. I wish BD would side with Pakistan in the last 15 years but BD had an Indian puppet regime. They are gone now. Hopefully there will be more cooperations moving forward now that old regime is gone.

Anyway, I don't expect Pakistan to boycott for Bangladesh and they really shouldn't. But, maybe they can boycott the Indian game to damage BCCICC. :yk

Current cricketing status quo is farcical and it needs to be overthrown with small steps.

You mean to say Pakistan to withdraw from WC on Mujabir Rehaman episode?

most likely Pakistan will lose to India anyways just boycott that one game that brings money to ICC and BCCI.
Naqvi will have to say movement of Pakistan isn't allowing Pakistan to play with India.

Pls understand its a ICC event not BCCI event. BCCI allready knows how much money it will get. Its allready pre decided

Its ICC's duty to provide BCCI that amoubt decided. If Pakistan boycotts - then the broadcasters & sponsors will sue ICC for loss of income. Then ICC will counter sue PCB for damages. So ultimately it will PCB who will pay up

BCCI is not going to lose anything. BCCI will lose money of a bilateral series gets boycotted or IPL gets affected. They wont lose anything if ICC events get boycotted

What can you expect from previous dalal regime? That was different era bro. Awami dalal Hasina was Indian raw agent. Under Hasina we suffered a lot. But Alhamdulillah times changed, Now BD is independent again, dalal free. Can make their own choices. BD-Pk relationship improving rapidly. Direct flights resuming end of this month after almost 15years.
 
Whether Pakistan wants to boycott - its up to them

But pls understand whatever financial loss happens - it will come out of PCB. BÇCI wont suffer any losses - unless India boycotts

He’s clearly a nationalist pompous egocentric man who will pull this move if he senses that the awaam is backing the decision!

You don’t know the people who are in power. The revenue has already been shared out . If they boycott , pigs will also fly .

They should boycott after supporting Bangladesh but money is their deity

Pakistan can beat any team in the world if the team is selected based on merit

For the last two years or so, the Pakistani team is mostly a team of Generals Appeasing Cricketers

That's why despite their extremely horrible performances these cricketers retain their spots

We, the cricket fans spends hours discussing why particular players are not dropped through cricket analysis

The truth is that these players are here to stay regardless of how poorly they perform

He is a politician and does not care about Pakistan cricket, even if it leads to its downfall in the future, but he becomes a popular hero to the Pakistani public by boycotting the World Cup.

Same things done by radical extremists of Bangladesh Government.

What is the penalty?
Click to expand...
So if Pakistan boycotts - broadcaster / sponsors will sue for damages bcoz of loss of income from India - Pakistan game. So say they say they lost 20 million USD - then that will be penalty imposed on PCB

Apart from penalty there will be loss of participation fee ( amount PCB wud have recieved from ICC revenue pool for this event )

Broadcaster can't sue them they will sue ICC, who will have some sort of insurance, same as if that match got rained off I guess, but yes there will be loss of participation fee.

Broadcasters will sue ICC , then ICC will counter sue PCB

Insurance works in case of unforseen events like rain affected games but they will not accept pre planned boycott. Like ur car insurance takes care of accidents but not if u damage it urself to get insurance payout

I am not a fan of Mohsin Naqi but he is handling the situation very well.It is the Indian government which makes decisions for BCCI.It was the Indian government which didn’t allow India to travel to Pakistan.Pakistan government should do exactly the same.It should not allow PCB to take part.I believe Indian Cricket Council(ICC) will have no legal recourse.The precedent was set by India and no action was taken or could have been taken.

What does co-hosting mean? Multiple countries hosting a tournament together, right? Then how come Pakistan is playing only in one country? Then how come, in a case where Pakistan reached the final, there is a chance that the host country has to play the final outside its home?

That’s what Pakistan did.

This is the perfect example of cutting your nose to spite your face. Yes there will be short term impact on BCCI but in the long term sponsers and india will just learn to play without Pakistan and it will impact PCB a million times more and other boards will be against them

Also once again lying and blaming BCCI politics when it was sri lanka and Ireland which refused to change groups, when 14 out of 17 country voted against Bangladesh

Building your castle on air about hurting BCCI based on absolute lies and delusions is not gonna work out in real world. Those 14 countries will boycott you too.
