That's what it is.. across all platforms Facebook insta tiktok etc 95% of pakistani are happy with not playing india despite all the loss and threats

Its only the indians clinging onto it and hope there will be a u-turn

I’m all for it. That money from Indian market would find a way stay in Indian market. Loss to ICC would mean most boards losing their primary income source and an to this 100 associates and cricket in Olympics non sense

I don’t see any negatives here

Why would India lose $500m?

Its an ICC tournament. The money that ICC generates gets distributed among all boards

These idiots don't know anything but just talk nonsense , india loss is negligible compared to Pakistan who dependent on ICC revenue to survive.

Broadcasters won't lose a penny as ICC will compensate them buy simply cutting PCB revenue which ICC gave them

Not sure what you are even talking about since you look disturbed but last time Pakistan thought boycotting cricket will make BCCI go bankrupt was in 2009 when they refused to send Pak players in IPL. Rest is history as they say.

The month of Mar-May when Daddy league is on, every Pakistani player wishes they were Indians.
 
Saturday 7th February after pakistan played their first game vs Netherlands

This way ICC Can't kick out pakistan from the tournament otherwise it ruins the whole tournament.

Only 4 days to go.

@emranabbas @Rana - when will PCB officially communicate it to ICC their decision of boycotting India match. Why the delay?

Why will ICC ask Pak govt? Unless PCB officially communicate their decision to not play, like how BCB had done, ICC will simply consider the game is on as per original fixture.

My question is - why PCB is not saying anything officially to ICC yet?

Latest update -

Pakistan cricket's legal advisers, Tafjul Rizvi & Salman Nasir, held a meeting with the ICC officials and Pakistan Cricket Board CEO Sumair Ahmed was also present

According to clause 5.7.1 of the ICC regulations, any team that has qualified for an ICC tournament is required to play all scheduled matches. Withdrawal form any match is not permitted & would be considered a violation of the ICC rules.

There is also a possibility that the ICC could ask Pakistan to withdraw from the entire tournament, rather than pulling out of an individual match.

i guess due to Rain pakistan will take that decision back what if netherlands game gets washed out its a high chance that we may get indopak game
 
Ali Active said:
i guess if rain occurs pak can damage its own compaign so they will reverse their decision i guess
Click to expand...

Not to reverse decisions just to keep pakistan safe from being kicked out of the tournament.

Icc can't kickout Pakistan once the tournament has started

THERE WILL BE NO INDIA PAKISTAN GAME REGARDLESS OF THE WEATHER

I was actually thinking about this i.e. what is the end game for Pakistan in this. This is going to be a long post and I probably should make it another post but I'm not sure if many people will interested in the kind of weird money/convoluted politics I find very fascinating.

Anyway, let's start with the assumption that there will be a substantial loss if the game doesn't go ahead. The $500m numbers being thrown around are ridiculous (ICC's annual revenues are $900m) but let's assume a more reasonable number of around $150m. There are multiple scenarios on how this loss could be absorbed

1. Pakistan's best case scenario - The broadcaster Jio is forced to eat the entire loss. ICC claims it made maximum effort to organise the game and unfortunately political Force Majeure came in the way. They make a full payment to ICC, all member get their annual distribution and the only penalty on Pakistan is a loss of points and huge impact on Net Run Rate

2. A middle case scenario - ICC shares some of the burden with the broadcaster - say 50-50 for argument's sake. ICC revenue distribution is impacted by $75M. How this is distributed is tricky. One option is to divide the loss to all member proportionately i.e. BCCI loses about $30M, PCB abut $5M so on and so forth. I don't think all members would agree to take a 15% cut in revenues (Boards like Sri Lanka and West Indies could go under). Another option would be to first cut Pakistan's entire share i.e. $39M and then spread the remaining $36M loss among all members. Still about a 6% cut in revenues but not so bad

3. Worst case scenario - Court upholds Jio's claim that the ICC didn't try hard enough to hold the game i.e. threaten to expel Pakistan, try to ban bilateral series etc. and the ICC is forced to eat the full $150M. That would be a huge impact to all members whether they cut Pakistan's entire share or not. PCB would really screw quite a few boards i.e. ones that operate on the margin and would make a lot of enemies in the cricket world

I think the most likely is the middle case scenario. The ICC cannot absorb the full loss but also cannot afford to antagonise it's main broadcaster i.e. Jio that brings in 80% of the revenues. There's really no other competition in the main market in India who can bid anything similar. Guys like Sony, Zee are tiny in comparison and Netflix, Prime don't have the reach and haven't really shown the appetite for this size of deal anywhere in the world. If they do try to screw Jio over, they can basically say goodbye to the next broadcasting deal and endanger cricket's long term future.

Am I missing anything?

Your scenario planning looks spot on. I think in all cases ICC has control of the revenue penalty they can inflict and that’s the only real threat. The rest PCB won’t be bothered about

Big brain like @DeadlyVenom @Wasim Ghulam and many more Pakistan said same things that ICC won't have power to kickout Bangladesh from World T20 but we know what was happened laters. .

Mr Einstein, Naqvi is a Pakistan poltician and like how things works in Pakistan we all know , he takes the decision thinking nothing will happen later but now asked him why he contacted with some board's including ICC GM Wasim Khan and another umaah person imran Khwaja?

Bolne se kuch bhi bol dete hai but jab pta chalta hai na ki age kya hoga uske dar si tange kanp jati hai.

ICC didn’t remove Bangladesh, Bangladesh themselves chose not to travel to India. That’s a huge difference.

Someone gaon walle log like @Devadwal either doesn’t understand the difference because of their pindu education, or he’s just trying to save face after Bangladesh made it clear they’d rather skip the World Cup than travel to India.

i think he's trying to save face after the baijaati bangldesh game india for refusing to travel to india

like @emranabbas said and i agree , Bangladesh made a choice and Skipped the WC. you cant spin it like ICC kicked them out. Something BCCI could nt do in Asia Cup after So many Jawans were killed .. They gave lollipop to Indian Public that its hard to skip International Commitments 🤣🤣 BCCI chose money over Indian blood unlike BD who let go of whole WC because their Player was Insulted. Kudos to bravery of BCB

Every time the facts don’t suit you, you just invent a new storyline so you can clap for yourself in your own head. 🤡

the whole world has seen it how Bangladesh humiliated india by saying they rather leave the tournament than playing india.

Basically, he said the ICC should function as an independent governing body. Regardless of India’s financial influence, if a team refuses to travel to a host country, it should opt out of the tournament rather than forcing accommodations that create problems like this down the line.

ICC should treat all members the same but gives preference to India.

All major cricketing nations should leave the ICC. There is no need for it for cricket to be succesful.

Honestly, I couldn’t care less about cricket anymore. That organization lost all credibility the moment Indian interests took over. It was obvious it would be reshaped to keep one country satisfied rather than genuinely improving the sport or expanding it globally, something we’ve seen repeatedly with Indian controlled organizations.

Hindutva will label this criticism as “jealousy,” but then again, Hindutva is full of people like @Devadwal

Anybody can confirm what is the latest? Have the ICC sanctioned Pak? Any change of mind?
Click to expand...

Well, ICC is using some neutral guys to talk with PCB (since day one) and some news in journo sector says that PCB might agree play against India (which is best decision) -- Naqvi and PCB just wanted to rattle ICC and BCCI and they did it successfully while covering themselves behind Govt by using cleverly the clauses of MPA (Indian users can spin it in anyway they want) but these are hard facts that ICC wont and cant do anything. Apart from partial revenue adjustment and awarding 2 points to India.

Also among journalists, PCB might announce the reverse decision in 2-3 days. So lets see

I suspect Butcher was also subtly poking fun at Pakistan in this clip when he says 'muslim cousins'.

To every Hindutva, I’ll always be “something else.” But to those who aren’t Hindutva, I’m just a Muslim who seems to get your knickers in a twist whenever Hindutva is criticized.

An educated person with a degree wouldn’t make wild assumptions or throw a tantrum whenever they are criticized, nor would they resort to labeling everyone as “jobless” as a counterargument. In the end, you’ve wasted whatever potential you had, you were designed to earn money and nothing more, and that’s all you’ve amounted to.

Chup be, pakka mat. I was merely explaining on a post why sometimes you need to control emotions for the greater good when it comes to business. This was in context to moves PCB or BCCI have made so far despite the animosity keeping in mind the larger interest. You taunted me (I don’t know how in your head that was a taunt to begin with) that I need to go back to a corporate job.

The fact that you didn’t understand financial and business accountability made me assume you are a jobless guy (I said assuming on your views).

Next post you were chest thumping you weee jobless.

It’s all documented on this very forum lmao.
