Pakistan to take the field against India on February 15, 2026, for their scheduled fixture in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup [Update@post#1434]

Lol at the PCB asking for a more equitable revenue distribution model?

They thinking asking the ICC and BCCI works nicely? The BCCI gets off on abusing and bullying the PCB as much as possible, they will now make sure to cut PCB's revenue even further going forward. The ICC broadcast revenues are expected to decline going forward and the revenue distribution is also proposed to be based on the team's cricket rankings and achievements and based on that the PCB will get zilch.
 
It doesnt matter if they begged us or not. Fact is, we took a u turn and did a compromise, AGAIN.
Honestly. When in life you have to reconsider a decision. Whether by your own mistake or promoted by other party to do so through communication. You always do that.

Coming towards a better solution is better for everyone. Instead of dying on your stupid hill just because you don't want people to think that you had to reconsider your decision.

Psychologically speaking. I sense you are IK allergic and that's why u turn is triggering for you. In your mind you have divorced not only the word but also the action of u turn.

the problem with having a decision with the likes of you is that the moment there is a disagreement, you start bringing in IK and things un related to the topic.

This only shows your own maturity level, and your desperation on this forum to spin a matter just to look good infront of the Indians.

You may carry on the dramaybazi, but most of us can see through what happened.

National Embarrassment.
 
no we did not.

We basically did a Bister garab kar kay phir pechay hatna

It doesnt matter if they begged us or not. Fact is, we took a u turn and did a compromise, AGAIN.

This is not some world class negotiation. We are still where we are a month ago, unless posters here think shaking hands with the Indian side is considered a major win.

Infact, this is what this event will be known for. We boycotted a match because we were begging to have our hands shaken.

Pakistan has hit a new low today. We showed desperation and the fact that we will be even shaking hands makes us look like bigger idiots.
Naqvi is an idiot and SS is even bigger idiot
 
You clearly lack maturity. Much better than your misbah fanboy days, but still a lot to grow. Its never a zero sum game when it comes to these things. Every action has an objective, you cannot simply boycott things without an objective.
100%. You never multiply anything by 0.
 
Would be hilarious if the match gets played and after that ICC decides to put fines on PCB for all the dramaybazi they did.

Infact, now i really hope ICCBCCI put fines on us and kick out Naqvi. Its a clear case of politicial influence when the interior minister is the chairman.
 
Lets not kid ourselves and be brutally honest, if the PCB failed to get the following concessions from the ICC and BCCI below

- Significantly increased revenue share for the PCB given how much the ICC makes from the Indo Pakistan contests in ICC

- Better FTP schedule with more tours to and from the Big 4 teams like Australia, England, South Africa, New Zealand

- Getting India to play test matches with Pakistan for the ICC Test Championship

- Getting the BCCI to accept the Asia Cup Trophy from Mohsin Naqvi

- More respect from Indian players and officials during Indo Pak contests in ICC events

This whole drama was a farce by the PCB and they will end up proving that they are all bark, no bite, kittens. They even had government approval to forfeit the India game but still got threatened by BCCI, ICC and emotionally blackmailed by other fellow boards. The PCB will never ever be in a position of such leverage again, the BCCI and the ICC will come up with a solution to kill the final remaining card the PCB could employ.
What if ICC and BCCI agree to some of these demands but not all?

Won't that be better for Pakistan Cricket than no met demands like it was a month ago?
 
Was just about to post this. This is a definite win for BCB.

They will get a Champions Trophy likely in 2029.

I quote from the document

As part of this understanding, an agreement has been reached that Bangladesh will host an ICC event prior to the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2031, subject to the usual ICC hosting processes, timelines and operational requirements.

I suggest one should read this part many times.

Things one can get after standing up to a bully, well done PCB. Honestly, im so glad we got Naqvi at the helm. The danda he has given in the recent years is for the ages. Its also good for the game.
 
Real winner in this saga is the BCB, they will get the participation fee from this T20 WC and their annual ICC share, they will get an ICC tournament as well, who knows India might tour them in the future. They successfully used the PCB and emotionally blackmailed them for their needs.

If the role was reversed, the BCB like it did in the past would stay away from the PCB.

Naqvi and SS is at helm of this embarrasment and their Boss , we all know who that is.

This whole drama has nothing to do with PTI aur IK. Just like Lahore and Punjab Celebrated Basant forgetting polarization in politics , Nation would have stood with Naqvi and SS if they saw it through till end

Im not buying this crap that we gained BD as friend in the end
 
naaa, you give BCB a womens world cup/ a world cup qualifier or an u19 world cup, they will be happy with that.
I am guessing the womens world cup beacuse the 2025 one was moved to Dubai for security. So, maybe they get to re-host it in a different year.
 
^ lol ..emranabbas is like that japanese soldier who hid in the cave, not knowing the war was over 30 years ago. Give up.
The only difference is the japenese soldier’s country lost, @emranabbas is on the winning side. And i actually side with him, knowning fake news galore from your side, its better to wait out. Otherwise if it was upto you guys Pakistan would have been banned from world cricket, CT moved to South Africa, Naqvi would have been removed as ACC chair and all the fake falooda your folks cook up non stop. How do you even survive in the stink of your media?

Well BCB never asked Pakistan to stand up for them. That was a decision Pakistan took on their own.

You're embarrassed yourself. No one's embarrassing you. The events are just triggering your insecurity.

But we have posters here from Pakistan trying to spin it as the greatest win in PCBs career.

BCB and Scotland both getting participation fees is ridiculous and reduces what all other teams are getting. Plus, if BNP wins the election and they decide to maintain relations with India, the tours between both countries will continue to take palce.
 
Doing a U-turn now would be a total embarrassment. I hope the PCB don't back down now, I support this boycott as something needs to change. Can't have the ICC being BCCI's lapdogs for this long.
 
I'm sure Pakistan got some concessions but India probably don't want it to be revealed publicly fearing ire from the Hindu nationalist home base, and all this being interpreted as a sign of weakness. After all, all the decisions that BCCI have taken since September have been informed by that home base. From instructing their players not to shake hands with the Pakistanis to askng KKR ro remove Mustafizur.

I dont think so. From the "official" Media release, all I see is no sanction on BCB which wasnt going to happen anyway as ICC themselves kicked out BCB. Then some random tournament hosting in the future. It doesnt mention or wont mention the concessions made to PCB. However, behind the scenes we can assume something was offered to PCB.

It's not our fault Pakistanis naturally gravitate to all the masala websites and tabloid newspapers of India. You should read the more serious credible outlets like normal people do.
 
Pakistan team suddenly have so much pressure thrust on to them now.

Indian media will destroy them if they slip up.

Seriously feel bad for the players, due to the actions of our clown board and politicans.
 
Well BCB never asked Pakistan to stand up for them. That was a decision Pakistan took on their own.
Which is fair. I don't mind. PCB used their card their card to repair some of the damage from ICC and BCCI that was done to them in these past weeks.

PCB also won them an ICC tournament. This is massive.

And if we talk about Bangladesh not standing up for Pakistan. Then I have a simple answer. Pakistan owe Bangladesh a lot of repairing for it did to the people in that part of the world when the crisis of 1971 happened.

I know what you're implying but I think this was said in good faith and they will get an ICC tournament and I don't think it will be a women's tournament either @Major

I don't think women's cricket is popular in BD and they might struggle to fill stadiums even for the home team.

There's no ICC tournament in 2029 and Champions Trophy is the only tournament left.

I suspect they will get to host that.
 
Doing a U-turn now would be a total embarrassment. I hope the PCB don't back down now, I support this boycott as something needs to change. Can't have the ICC being BCCI's lapdogs for this long.
Why is it only upon Pakistan to accomplish that? There is no point dying on this obstinate hill alone if no one else is willing to do the same. Need to take it one step at a time, now atleast the other boards now that the BCCIICC isn't as all powerful and invincible as they think.

naa, champions trophy is the barrell that scrapes them some money and they wont give it to BCB.

They will either get qualifiers, U19 or a womens tournament.

These folks won't stop until international Cricket is significantly dead 😂

EDIT: In their naivety, just to be clear.

Not talking about social media trolls/ YouTubers but Indian mainstream media is generally more respectful of cricket players like Babar, Rizwan. Shaheen etc than Pak media.

2031 is a long time away. Also, what’s popular in BD may not be linked to what event ICC may hold there.

In any case let’s wait and see what PCB has to say.
 
Read the report, the compensation for BCB.
Bro, sometimes it’s better to stay quiet and accept defeat rather than blabber for the sake of it and make a bigger fool of yourself. The Pakistan government, from its official X handle, said they would boycott the India game. Your Prime Minister said in Parliament that he would not allow his team to play against India. And now you’re claiming Pakistan will play because the ICC decided not to punish the BCB? LMAO. :ROFLMAO:

Just accept that the PCB couldn’t show the same backbone as Bangladesh and did a U-turn on its boycott calls. Not sure how being dishonest helps your case.

Basically, the PCB tried to act smart and dragged the government into this, thinking they could hide behind the force majeure clause. In the process, Naqvi threw Shehbaz Sharif under the bus...proving that the Prime Minister of a country has no value, and neither do his words. When the ICC threw the law book in their face over force majeure, the PCB suddenly started called them for “dialogue.”

With nowhere left to run and no option but to play, the PCB then tried to use the situation for bargaining - bilateral cricket, tri-series, more money, handshakes… please, please, please.

When the ICC rejected all of that too, a new story was planted: Pakistan is ready to play because the BCB chief requested them. So now, after everything the PCB supposedly did “for” the BCB, Pakistan will ignore its Prime Minister’s promise and play just because the BCB chief asked nicely.

What an emotional climax. Even Bollywood would be proud. :LOL:

All Pakistan had to do was shut up and focus on cricket. They already got the hybrid arrangement they wanted, including semi finals and final (if qualify). Instead, they tried to act smart, and the ICC showed them their aukat within days. The BCCI on the other hand didn’t even blink and yet the PCB surrendered in front of the whole world.

From next time, drame kam karo. Humble request. These annual humiliations are no longer even funny.
 
naa, champions trophy is the barrell that scrapes them some money and they wont give it to BCB.

They will either get qualifiers, U19 or a womens tournament.
If that's the case , then I wouldn't really consider it a win for BCB and all this would've been for nothing
 
whatever financial concessions PCB may have got can easily be overturned if not documented. Once the India Pakistan game takes place, ICC can back track.

I wont be surprise if Naqvi asked for an extended tenure as ACC chief.
 
Not talking about social media trolls/ YouTubers but Indian mainstream media is generally more respectful of cricket players like Babar, Rizwan. Shaheen etc than Pak media.
I don’t think they will care, Pakistan will be trolled even more so which is unfortunate.

This team isn’t good enough to shut the critics up aswell. I mean we are sweating on the USA game and treating them as an equal in terms of strength.
 
What the hell man :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

had the call been picked, what would you had said?
Is this press release real? I'm not sure man the number is dodgy or these Bangladeshis didn't check it properly before release.

I wanted to ask what happened in the meetings lol better to ask directly than wait for media.
 
If that's the case , then I wouldn't really consider it a win for BCB and all this would've been for nothing
for a cricket team that sucks in every tournament, doesnt get to host anything apart from Asia cup. Its still a win.

Funny thing is PCB were using them all a long for their own mission, but in the end BCB ends up using them, or gets more benefit.

BCB doesnt play the WC and still come out with more money and an ICC event. Meanwhile PCB twice made threats, couldnt even get a match referee change, will still play WC match and in return they win a handshake.

i have to agree with you

SS have proven himself to be a clown and puppet who can be pushed around by Naqvis of this era
 
That small clown in a very big office didn't need to tweet about the boycott. Saala sb. could have just sent a letter that our government is asking us to boycott and ICC negotiations would have started.

Not a fan of him anymore but man Nawaz is 200x better than his clown brother & it's a travesty that the dictator chose the lesser brother as his personal puppet.

Tbh, I don't see what 1971 has to do with this. Issuing Bangladesh an apology for 1971 would be enough, but ofc that would damage the fragile ego of Pak Miltab.

This probably improves Pakistan's foreign relations with Bangladesh more than anything else. But like I said before, Bangladesh does not offer any real strategic value so not sure how much can be gained there too.

It is a nice gesture though. Bangladesh were treated poorly and kicked out of the World Cup without much debate so this definitely something.

Add to that is it too much to ask that hope that India Pakistan matchups get more rationalised in WC events from here on?

Don’t want these fake what -a -coincidence -India -Pakistan -once -again - are -playing situations.
 
Doing a U-turn now would be a total embarrassment. I hope the PCB don't back down now, I support this boycott as something needs to change. Can't have the ICC being BCCI's lapdogs for this long.

The PCB has no choice but to backtrack now, they officially did this primarily for Bangladesh. Now that the BCB has come forward in public and requested them to play the Feb 15 game, the PCB has no choice but to end the forfeit.
 
Is this press release real? I'm not sure man the number is dodgy or these Bangladeshis didn't check it properly before release.

I wanted to ask what happened in the meetings lol better to ask directly than wait for media.
once the ICC released the statement on their website, it confirmed what was being speculated.

I am really heartbroken by all this. Reminds me of the Hitler meme video. One moment we were proud and happy taking everything down, next we get news that Naqvi does not carry out the steiner attack
 
naa, champions trophy is the barrell that scrapes them some money and they wont give it to BCB.

They will either get qualifiers, U19 or a womens tournament.
Firstly elections in Bangladesh are in 2 days. Currently there is an interim government but once an elected stable government is in place in Bangladesh, a lot of things will change. Jamaat which is seen as rabid anti-India just issued their mandate and it explicitly mentions good relations with neighbors and explicitly mentions “India”.

I am not saying we will become best buddies with Bangladesh or they will overnight become anti-Pak but a lot of this tension will be diffused by then. It gives a lot more official access to India for diplomatic moves as well both from political and cricket perspective.

Afghan cricketers thank BCCI everyday even though their intial training happened in Pak.

All GOI has to do is invite Bangladesh for a full series in India and reciprocate the favor, no matter how much PCB says it’s their doing, no one will buy it. Everyone will thank BCCI.

No chest thumping or antagonizing but just like other things, this is exactly how things should happen unless unforeseen circumstances.
 
I dont think so. From the "official" Media release, all I see is no sanction on BCB which wasnt going to happen anyway as ICC themselves kicked out BCB. Then some random tournament hosting in the future. It doesnt mention or wont mention the concessions made to PCB. However, behind the scenes we can assume something was offered to PCB.

BCCI and the ICC offered lollypops to the PCB in 2014 as well during the Big 3 vote. We all saw how that turned out. Promises, offers, verbal commitments mean nothing when dealing with the ICC and BCCI. Once the Feb 15 game takes place and is over. PCB will have no more leverage.
 
My Man of the match and series in this whole Pak-BCB World Cup incident. Didn’t bow down to any demands from PCB. Didn’t bow down to initial threat from BCB. Quietly got the job done. No wonder his name is Jay👍. Haters will hate him but the man got the job done.

@Varun how's the Josh?

:klopp :kp

If you don't think so. Then at the very least PCB alone played their member role to ensure BCB doesn't get sidelined or bullied by ICC or BCCI.

You answered your own question. Shahbaz is spineless and has always been the messenger/mediator between Nawaz and the Miltab because of his diplomatic demeanor. Nawaz as detestable as he is, was a stronger personality who certainly would have never taken kindly to the Chief accompanying him to official visits all over the world.
 
Been saying this from day 1, Pak doesn't have the guts to boycott the Ind-Pak of all matches.

They do have some nuisance value, and that's about it. The stuff my dog leaves on the sidewalk is worth more than the nonsense Naqvi talks.😂

Just FYI, PCB lost the court case when it tried to sue. Which means 2 things, did BCCI and ICC even make those tall promises or why was PCB incompetent to not get a proper deal. It’s easy to blame everything on big bad ICC and BCCI.
 
By the way how is this a revenue win for the BCB? As far as I can see the release says only that BD won’t be penalised

No Penalty or Sanction for BCB

It is agreed that no financial, sporting or administrative penalty will be imposed on Bangladesh Cricket Board in relation to the current matter

I don’t see anything which says BD will get any revenues from this WC.

I could be wrong

100% and with all due respect. The chairman of that time. Najam Sethi. Is a rather soft man in comparison to Mr. Naqvi. You have to be fierce to demand things to go in your direction.
 
You answered your own question. Shahbaz is spineless and has always been the messenger/mediator between Nawaz and the Miltab. Nawaz as detestable as he is, was a stronger personality who certainly would have never taken kindly to the Chief accompanying him to official visits all over the world.

I've liked that man & so did my dad once upon a time so I try not to bad mouth him too much but the man has always been a puppet. Just a bit more nuanced & adds a layer of necessary politics on things while his brother is a straight up cherry blosson.

P.s. no one has a better policy vis. a vis. India than Nawaz. Cherry blossom & failed martial are hell bent on making Pakistan a hate centric nation that hates everyone irrationally.
 
for a cricket team that sucks in every tournament, doesnt get to host anything apart from Asia cup. Its still a win.

Bangladesh hosted the inaugural Champions Trophy and the World T20 in 2014.

They can host it in a hybrid model with India's matches being in India (Kolkata) but at least on paper they can host and get hosting fees etc.
 
Also, can someone pls confirm why BCB chief requested Pakistan to play India when he didn't allow his own team to play in India. Its like I dont go to someone's house for marriage as the guy is evil but encourage my neighbour to marry him.

Some logic even breaks even Newtons 3rd law.
