Pakistan's tour of Zimbabwe postponed [Update Post#101]

[MenInG]

PCB confirm to PakPassion.net that Pakistan's tour of Zimbabwe has been postponed and a mutually convenient date for the tour will be announced at a later stage.

 

[angrypathan]

) )
Would we have gotten any points for beating them 3-0 in a 3 match series? If we wouldn't have, then it's a move done wisely, albeit in poor spirit.
If we would have gotten points for it, then perhaps it wouldn't have been a bad idea to take that risk, so that the distance between us and West Indies in points increases.
Now WI will desperately try and arrange a series with someone, and could very much rank higher than us if they win it

 

[eradicator]

Means PAK is going to qualify for CT and WI wont

 

[Madplayer]

Cowardly act to postpone the series vs zimbabwe. I understand they didnt want to go through with tri series because they had not confirmed it. But series vs zim was a confirmed one. Why so scared ? I am sure they would have whitewashed zim.

 

[RiseOfTheTigers]

Oops

 

[BleedGreen]

It's nice to see they didn't cancel it.

 

[RiseOfTheTigers]

This is very poor stuff, gives a very bad impression to the outside world when you set up fixtures suddenly out of nowhere to help qualify for a tournament and then postpone in a whim because of risk of losing.

WI board and fans especially will be upset by this behavior

 

[Bullet Drive]

Have to do everything to get into the CT.

With the PCB on this one.

Better than confirming it till the very last minute and then pulling out of the tour.


People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.. Thank you very much.

 

[shah_1]

Can WI organize a series? Is there any other team free to play against that they may have a chance to qualify?

WI board and fans have no reason to complain. The proposal of the tri-series was out of the blue and it was not stipulated via a signed contractual agreement or anything. The only thing that Pakistan needs to fulfil is a tour of Zim.

 

[BleedGreen]

LAHORE: Pakistan Cricket Board has decided to postpone Zimbabwe tour due in September this year, local media reported.

The bilateral series against Zimbabwe was a ‘favour returned’ from Pakistan for Zimbabwe’s tour to Pakistan in May ending a six-year cricket drought in Pakistan.

The series later turned into a tri-series adding West Indies to complete a trio, however Pakistan declined to play triangular series after attaining a 3-1 series-win against Sri Lanka.

According to reports, PCB proposed to convert the tri-series format into T20s after its ‘selfish’ decision was widely criticised in cricketing circles.

The tri-series had its importance because both West Indies and Pakistan are on 8th and 9th spots in ICC rankings with the difference of just two points.

There are reports that West Indies has approached India to arrange a bilateral series.

If West Indies want to play us, come to Pakistan.

Pakistan players are not risking their lives to tour Zimbabwe, completely different scenario, don't bring up something you don't understand due to blind nationalism and biasness

 

[UFC2015]

Lol at the hypocrisy of posters especially from outside Pakistan criticizing the PCB for failing to honor its commitments. The irony.

 

[Syed1]

Pakistan players are not risking their lives to tour Zimbabwe, completely different scenario, don't bring up something you don't understand due to blind nationalism and biasness

It wasn't as if the security situation was excellent when Bangladesh confirmed and it suddenly took a turn for the worst which forced Bangladesh to pull out. So it was completely BCB's fault to confirm it (despite knowing the situation) and then not sending the players.



It is completely Pakistan's prerogative who they want to play or not play. The series was never confirmed, and PCB just postponed it. Atleast we didn't hide behind false excuses.

 

[UFC2015]

Pakistan players are not risking their lives to tour Zimbabwe, completely different scenario, don't bring up something you don't understand due to blind nationalism and biasness

Bangladesh being a muslim team had no risk to their lives whatsoever. Don't bring up something you don't understand due to your Bias either.

 

[Markhor]

What a shambles. This is what happens when you rip up the Future Tours Programme in favour of these bilateral agreements.

ICC are more to blame here than the PCB as they're the ones who've opened this Pandora's Box where tours can be arranged or cancelled on a whim.

 

[Mystrey]

What a shambles. This is what happens when you rip up the Future Tours Programme in favour of these bilateral agreements.

Teams should be obliged by the Big 3 to stick to their commitments.

Fixed.

There is no ICC. Just three greedy boards ruling the cricket world.

I agree.. but the FTP is intrinsically biased and teams like Pakistan/West Indies get very few games to begin with. If we go by the FTP we would be playing at max 2-3 series a year.

When PCB promised BCB "Presidential Security" then there was no threat Bro. BCB is baby of BCCI, everybody knows that, even you know about it.

So don't go there Bro.

 

[pasha404]

If WI is so desperate they should come to Pak.by the way WI & PCB don't have cordial relations as WI never supported PCB on any matter.PCB is fully justified to protect its interest as WI is protecting its.if they can't find some one to play them it is none of PCB problem

 

[Enforcer]

what a cowardly Act!

If there is one board that is more corrupt and inefficient than the PCB, it is the WICB..


They probably don't even know that the Windies aren't qualifying for the CT at the moment..

 

[BDwarriors]

it was the first word in my mind after i read the headline.

 

[Sherlock]

I hope WI get a series along the line and then Pakistan wouldn't have the excuse to postpone the matches.

I feel for Zimbabwe. Yes it may not be contractually confirmed but to say one thing and do another is very poor.

But on a side note....Bangladeshi fans shouldn't be moaning either, we've seen how they've gone back on their words

 

[theariezman]

For their own concerns WI team draws back their playerd during the tour of India and for their own concerns BCB didn't agree to visit Pakistan. For their own concern India don't play with Pakistan.

But only if Pakistan say something that is hypocrisy : sirini

On top of incompetence & corruption it is 1.ZCB 2.WICB 3.PCB

 

[hadi123]

Oh no! Now West Indies will arrange a series with India . We will regret it if West Indies beat India, who will name a weak team and probably lose on purpouse

 

[mon858]

BIG MISTAKE. not the postponement, but the announcement coming so soon and made public, they should have waited till it was close enough and then did the postponement, then that would have left no time for WI to schedule something with India, SriLanka, etc.

Just like there was risk with losing an ODI to Zim if we played them, there is risk of WI doing something on their own to go past us.

We really need to win the last ODI (no experimentation) to ensure our lead is higher and then watch carefully if WI is scheduling something and based on that plan a backup series, maybe 3 ODI vs BAN in UAE or SRL in UAE, etc.

 

[Ottoman]

This comment made me laugh. I believe those students from peshawar weren't Muslims then. Perhaps it's high time for u to realize that terrorists don't care about who's muslim and who's not. Fact is no board should send their national team to tour Pakistan in next 15-20 years.

There was bomb explosion. Just before WT20 2012, when under 19 West Indian team left Bangladesh. So that mean no team should tour your country either. Its stupid.

Just heard few days a go. BCB is willing to send their Women team to tour Pakistan. So in your Country a women's life has no value.

Double standards Bro.

 

[Syed1]

Now what stops the WICB to invite Zimbabwe over or tour Zimbabwe for a short ODI series?

If that happens and WI wins, then Pakistan will be royally trolled.

Depends.. since Zimbos are ranked lower than WI a series victory may not lead to the requisite number of points needed to surpass Pakistan..

 

[RiseOfTheTigers]

What does Bangladesh got to do with this announcement can someone tell me? Bringing some misconception and misunderstanding about the BD team's tour of Pakistan is not going to make the PCB and Pakistan look like heroes here.

And for extra reading here is what happened in that supposed tour -

The BCB or I should say Mustafa Kamal was given the incentive of ICC presidency by the PCB and so he made this tour to get the position.
Then the High Court intervened and made a stop to this which is why BD team couldn't tour.
You can see it here-www.espncricinfo.com/pakistan-v-bangladesh-2012/content/story/561795.html

And players lives was at stake there so that's completely different to this.

Stick to topic instead of bringing Bangladesh into everything

 

[Donal Cozzie]

Mixed views on this.

I dont blame the PCB whatsoever. They have commercial interests to look after and risking missing out on CT is a commercial risk they cannot afford. Its a dick move surely but ZCB still get a tour and thats all they care about so I doubt they're particularly fussed. PCB did stand against the Big 3 taking over and the destruction of the FTP and got zero support from any other boards. Why shouldnt they take advantage of the situation?? All the other boards are doing the same.

Ultimately it just highlights the sad state cricket is in. The bottom sides like Zimbabwe have absolutely zero power so if anpther board wants to give them the middle finger and pull out of the tour at the last second they cannot do jack. Because the Big 3 have made sure there are zero repercussions for this behaviour, and ultimately they dont care. They are perfectly happy to see the lower sides scrapping and selling each other out left right and centre as it justs reinforces the power they have over the small 7. Plus a divided opposition is easier to control.

So ultimately its a poor move from the PCB but why shouldnt they do it? We see India shortening tours because they disagree with who the CSA appoint, we see the WC being cut down, we see the Big 3 playing each other over and over. Why not take this action? Who's to stop them? The ICC cant do anything, even if they did they arent a neutral body anymore, so expect much more of this in the years to come when the WC qualifying deadline comes around, because this is what cricket is reduced to.

First of all West Indies wasn't even supposed to play with Pakistan and there was no agreement or plan to play with West Indies

Didn't your board complain that West Indies playing Pakistan is going against the Future tours programe and they are manipulating the programs to fit there needs

but now that Bangladesh has played really well and qualified they seem not to care anymore and that's the same with Pakisan. The tour was never supposed to happen

 

[Inzi_fan_No_1]

PCB making a very rare sensible decision.

 

[pasha404]

Why not WICB invite Zim to WI who is stopping them

Yeah when you are shown the mirror and told to not teach us morality when you yourself are not following those standards of morality, you guys come up with statements like "stick to the topic"


Do us all a favour and not poke your nose where it doesn't belong. Thank you very much..

 

[Ottoman]

yep. If Pakistan losses tomorrow then WI will have to won 6 Matches against Zim.

 

[Syed1]

WI won't gain many points by beating ZIM..

 

[Markhor]

I agree.. but the FTP is intrinsically biased and teams like Pakistan/West Indies get very few games to begin with. If we go by the FTP we would be playing at max 2-3 series a year.

A properly structured, fair FTP that ensure everyone gets to play each other home and away within a reasonable timeframe is what's needed instead of this Big Three sponsored farce we have now with 'bilateral agreements' that can be torn up on a whim or for the convenience of boards.

Even with postponement of the bilateral series vs ZIM, PCB should still go ahead with the tri-series. Pakistan surely are capable of beating both WI who are in a shambles state right now missing various key players, and ZIM.

That way we get to beat WI and keep our fate in our own hands whilst damaging WI's ODI ranking points.

 

[pasha404]

I agree this is in poor spirit but wasn't the formation of big 3 against the spirit but then who cares.PCB is not financially strong so they do not want to miss on the Participation fees,they will definitely visit Zim but after Sept cut of date.

Agreed. But i just want this team to play more odi cricket! Keep the momentum going we cant lose to zimbabwe. Besides bangladesh cant play at home forever and their purple patch is ending soon so theyll drop in rankings. Weve seen the state of sri lankan cricket. We need to aim for top 5 or even top 4 in rankings

 

[Moh@n]

Depends.. since Zimbos are ranked lower than WI a series victory may not lead to the requisite number of points needed to surpass Pakistan..

Currently WI are on 88 points and Pakistan on 90.

Can't WI gain 2 or 3 points if they whitewash Zimbos in a short series?

 

[Syed1]

Currently WI are on 88 points and Pakistan on 90.

Can't WI gain 2 or 3 points if they whitewash Zimbos in a short series?

If Pak win the next match our points will be at 92. Then WI will have to beat Zim 6-0 or 7-0 to surpass us.

However if WI set up a series against any other side, even one or two victories will take them above us..

 

[RiseOfTheTigers]

Please read your own words, again and again. Print it out. Hang it on a wall. Memorize it.


While doing so remember which country you belong to and what have been the actions of your cricket board.


Once you do this exercise you will realize why we are having an issue with what you are saying and it is not due to any perceived hate for you or your country.

On the contrary you read my whole post again and again slowly and steadily because it seems you have difficulty in comprehension on the facts regarding that tour and also understanding its relevance.

 

[srh]

Cowardly act to postpone the series vs zimbabwe. I understand they didnt want to go through with tri series because they had not confirmed it. But series vs zim was a confirmed one. Why so scared ? I am sure they would have whitewashed zim.

+1. Cannot believe the bozos at PCB. Chullo bhar Pani main Doob maro. times millions.

 

[KeyboardWarrior]

Mr.

Tell me something, why are u sending ur women cricket team to pakistan now ? ist safe for you now ? but not before ?
why the so called "Tigers" have problem with PCB postponing bilateral series with ZIM?
we told them we will tour ZIM later. they have no problem with it.

I dont see Indian PP poster jumping up and down and giving us morality lectures, like some BD PP posters are doing right now.

The truth is after Big-3 Incident, no one takes Cricket seriously( even the ICC itself ) every board is looking for thir own interest.

Even if it Backfires, its our decision, atleast we are not the "ones" who take dictation from other "neighbouring Country's" Govt or thier Cricket board.
So, dont talk about the morality when you dont understanding the meaning of itself, Ok ?

 

[Imran Hasan]

Once upon a time Cricket was gentleman's game

I completely understand Pak board doesnt want to miss a tournament like CT and may be other board would do the same!

 

[BD-fan]

It wasn't as if the security situation was excellent when Bangladesh confirmed and it suddenly took a turn for the worst which forced Bangladesh to pull out. So it was completely BCB's fault to confirm it (despite knowing the situation) and then not sending the players.

Supreme court blocked the tour because of concerns on players safety. Apples vs Oranges. BCB was forced to pull out.

At any rate, PCB had to do to protect their interest... few more games and $$$ at the champions trophy. How the team does there would prove if this decision was ultimately good or bad. Hold your horses.

 

[omorst7]

A question for all pak fans!! Are you all felling happy & honored by this move??? Please answer honestly!!!

 

[Imran Hasan]

Some ridiculous post has come from some Pak poster. I wouldn't argue with the motive of BD board but one think is pretty clear still Pakistan is not a safe country to host international cricket right now. Even in the last Zim series an attempt was made to kill crickters. We certainly dont want to see any cricketers death in a terrorist attack regardless of high profile team or not. So if any team or players doesn't want to come Pakistan there shoulnt be any hue and cry.

 

[BD-fan]

Why is BCB allowing their Women cricket team to tour Pakistan?

What part of Supreme court order you don't understand?

 

[KeyboardWarrior]

A question for all pak fans!! Are you all felling happy & honored by this move??? Please answer honestly!!!

I give u answer,
yes we feel happy and fine. why shouldnt we ?
did we signed any MOU with WICB for tir-series ?

and we will tour ZIM later, we just postponed it.

too much questions from BD PP Posters now a days, Its a very Good thing.
but no one asking to them, did they feel happy and honoured after the BCB backstabbed PCB on pakistan tour ?
Oh! it was a "security" issue and the Bangladeshi supereme court orders blah blah blah.

Now Bangladeshi women cricket team is coming to pakistan. so ther is no "security" issue now ? where is Bangladeshi superem court now ?

 

[cricketInsight]

I have a bad feeling about this:

1. Its cowardly
2. It might come back to bite us.

We may lose the 5th ODI narrowing the gap with WI who can then arrange a series with SL or even ZIM and get enough points to go through.

 

[cricfan967]

I'm afraid this will go down as one of the most cowardly act by a cricketing board/ team in the history of the game.

That's a bit over the top.. cowardly yes, but there has been far worse. BCCI itself takes top honors in the "cowardly acts" list.

 

[KeyboardWarrior]

I'm afraid this will go down as one of the most cowardly act by a cricketing board/ team in the history of the game.

Yeah bro, and you (Big-3) will save this Gentleman's Game by giving us some kind of "IPLs".

 

[Imran Hasan]

BD doesn't have any ODI cricket planned in rest of the year so if WICB arranged a try-series with BD, ZIM in early september, what will be the scenario? (There was already a negotiation going on between two boards to play a bilateral series in november but BCB wants to arrange BPL in that time)

 

[Strike Rate]

Tri series is understandable because WI was playing wait and see game during SL series of **** so it was never confirmed but PCB should play the bilateral ODI series against Zimbo ASAP they helped us now it's time for us to give it back i don't care even if they beat us or whitewash us but commitment is more important.

Why your women cricket team is coming to pakistan now ? whats the difference before and now ? in the eyes of BCB and Bangladeshi superem court, the mens cricket team are the human beings, but not the womens cricket team ? are they not human beings ?

 

[Atif]

Do whatever to be in the Champ Trophy.

[Strike Rate]

To all my Bangladeshi friends crying over this decision and telling us about commitments and words they need to tell me where is your Supreme Court now why are they not stopping BCB like before who is ready to send your women team to Pakistan? If the security situation is that bad than muslim women players will be a bigger target in Pakistan in the eyes of those coward TTP terrorist than a male team. Where is your SC now? or the lives of females are not as big and important as your male players?

[Strike Rate]

India is ranked number 2 and WI is ranked number 9 so if India confirm a series with WI and play their B team that means easy points for WI because if very lower ranked team beat a very high ranked team it gives alot more points sometime even 3-4 points for 1 win so chances of Pakistan qualification will become impossible.

 

[miandadrules]

That's the end of Shoaib Malik's run of good form.

At least we have one last game against Sri Lanka to cherish.

 

[Strike Rate]

I'm afraid this will go down as one of the most cowardly act by a cricketing board/ team in the history of the game.

But isn't this the same WICB that left PCB and CSA alone on that big 3 issue and jumped on the bandwagon to make some more money with bilateral offers where were the rules and morality than? I am afraid but cricket these days is being run like business and it's all about money and more profit so in business only profit is seen and the cricket doesn't have the same meaning now "the so called gentleman's game".

 

[Ottoman]

If Pakistan lose on Sunday then they will have to win the Series 2-1 (3 Matches)

& if Pakistan won on Sunday then WI will have to win the series 3-2 (5 Matches)

 

[RehanG]

Should have waited till beginning of August so windies had no option and time to arrange an replacement series .....

 

[Yossarian]

Pakistan should be generous and give West Indies a chance to qualify at the risk of not qualifying themselves, by offering to host West Indies, after finishing the SL tour, for a 2 Test Match series, a 3 match ODI series and a 2 match T20 series all to be played in Pakistan.

Want to play in the CT? Come to Pakistan and play a winner-take-all knock-out series against Pakistan. Winner goes to the CT.

Balls in your court West Indies.

 

[yadunoe]

Pakistan players are not risking their lives to tour Zimbabwe, completely different scenario, don't bring up something you don't understand due to blind nationalism and biasness

we hosted zimb for a short series same as we would of done for bangla our military is more then capable of security of a few players for a few days sri lanka security wasnt done by army. With all this hate against Pakistan we risked our lives more then once by touring you guys so dont act all big now

& if Pakistan won on Sunday then WI will have to win the series 3-2 (5 Matches)

but sometime lower ranked team lose only 1 points even after 2 defeats while they get 3-4 points when they beat much higher ranked sides. for example if bangla had somehow managed to won this test than SA had lost 8 points just for 1 test defeat and IIRC Pakistan got 9-10 points during that 3-0 england whitewash

 

[RiseOfTheTigers]

Awwwww. shooo shweet. BCB was the newborn baby when they promised PCB for pakistan tour ?

It was the tricky question.
Now tell me didnt BCB know the situation of pakistan that time ? why they promised to send the team in first place, why they need a superme court verdict to not send the team ?

Becoz the reason is Simple, it suits the "interest" of the BCB.
Promised first thn backstabbed later,

what we called it in other words ..... The Hypocrisy.

Now, You send the womens team or not, doesnt matter to us. Go to SC and take a verdict again. who the F cares ?

and dont try to give us lectures on morality.
Ok ?

Apart from Mustafa Kamal you please explain to me how touring Pakistan in 2012/2013 would have suited and benefitted Bangladesh or BCB in anything.

Nothing, zilch, no qualification or ranking was on the line.
Infact it could be even be seen as sign of good gesuture that BCB thought about touring Pakistan when nobody would and yet Bangladesh are seen as enemies now, the irony.

Now this on the other hand is completely different, qualifications and rankings are on the line not Players lives

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Are the BD women team in Pakistan now??? BCB wanted to send Mans cricket team too but a petition had filled in court by an advocate and Court had given verdict against the tour. So the same thing may happen again in this time.

Sheikh Hasina took orders from her Indian masters and cancelled the tour.

India and Bangladesh don't want Pakistan hosting cricket again. I understand India being this way, but I don't understand why BD also has feel this way.

Does it make you feel superior that Pakistan can't play home games and BD can?

If only BD could be independent.

Who was Mustafa Kamal any ways? he wasn't a friend of Zaka infact he was head of BCB at that time.

So PCB had to negotiate with him & not with your Prime Minister. BCB refused to tour PCb twice. We all know that the tour was cancelled because BCCI promised BCB a 3 match tour.

Yes, CT position is on stake here, but it our problem. You don't have to teach us morality.

& With due respect, we owe ZCB only 3 ODIs & 2 T20s, which we can play any time after 30th September & PCB has also promised a full fledge tour next year with 3 tests.

 

[skureishi]

BCB are the most immoral and selfish cricket board who takes dictations from across the border - and yet they are teaching us morality after just one series victory.

BCB fans are the most sorest of losers. Case in point: stoning the WI team bus (remember chris gayle's tweet?), beating up supporters from other teams and the PM of Bangladesh not presenting trophies to opposing captains - and oh who can forget, the govt of Bangladesh asking their police to arrest anyone who is not supporting Bangladesh. The attitude of Bangladesh fans on PP reflects the traits of sore losers and mean winners who always jump in to degrade fans of other teams.

This post might get moderated, but i will say it anyway: I have been on Pakpassion as a passive visitor for years and have always been amused by the trashing India and Pakistan dish out to one another - but seeing BD fans makes me feel that Indian and Pak fans know which lines not to cross and even give respect to each others players and performances. But bangla fans......... well, the less said the better.

God knows what they will do and say to PAK, Ind and SL fans if god forbid bangladesh became world beaters.

look at all the statements your politicians are giving against pak on daily basis, did we back out of any tours . you have modi in collaboration with sheikh hasina raising fires and emotions of old wars yet we still tour, did we back out?,our army is much more capable then yours and no suicide attempt happened against zimb that wasnt proven, please think before you speak all your posts have been nothing but hypocrisy and egoistic responses.

Its not their fault every facet of their country is controlled by India, even cricket.

Pakistan needs to work hard restoring international cricket and not worry too much what minnows think about the situation.

Its quite sad really, we helped BD get test status and this is how they repay us.

But isn't this the same WICB that left PCB and CSA alone on that big 3 issue and jumped on the bandwagon to make some more money with bilateral offers where were the rules and morality than? I am afraid but cricket these days is being run like business and it's all about money and more profit so in business only profit is seen and the cricket doesn't have the same meaning now "the so called gentleman's game".

It's not about money, it's not about the Big 3 and its not about WI either. Pakistan has a very good team at the moment and should be confident of defeating Zimbabwe (and also WI) away from home. If delaying this tour is not an act of cowardice, then I'm not sure what it is. This is very disappointing.
