PCB declines SLC offer to play ODI Series

[MenInG]

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and Sri Lanka Cricket Board are in talks to include ODIs during Men in Green’s scheduled Test tour of Sri Lanka in July.

This move is believed to be in response to the upcoming World Cup 2023 scheduled in India and the need for teams to gain momentum and preparation for the event.

According to sources, high officials from both boards have begun the initial talks, and discussions are still ongoing.

Pakistan is scheduled to visit Sri Lanka for a two-match Test series in July, which is part of ICC Test Championship cycle.

Both boards could potentially substitute Tests with ODIs or explore the possibility of holding 50-over matches alongside the traditional red-ball games. The boards might explore a new window in the Test Championship cycle, to reschedule the Test series then.

The PCB has not yet made a decision regarding the inclusion of one-day matches, but both boards seem to also recognize the importance of the Test Championship.

The inclusion of one-day matches will provide an opportunity for the teams to gain valuable practice and momentum ahead of the World Cup.

Plz do not substitute tests!

If there is a time issue, the ODIs can kick off immediately after the tests.

Both teams can pretty much land seperate squads for tests & ODIs.

It's all about the World Cup - so could well be.

 

[sam_ahm]

Rescheduling WTC cycle tests will not be a good idea. They can schedule ODI games during Asia Cup, in case it doesn't happen.

BTW what are PCB doing? On one hand they say they will boycott the WC, on the other hand this! It's crazy.

I don't think people really care for tests in Pakistan. Nobody will go to the stadium in Sri Lanka and there won't be a TV audience anyway.

Commercially its better that we focus on ODI cricket anyway.

They are obviously not serious about boycotting the world cup. Nor should they. It would be such a waste.

 

[Kianig89]

2 Test matches and they are looking to scrap them ridiculous already Pakistan is light years behind in Test cricket, and tbh both SL and Pak are free in Aug except the mercenaries lurking for pyjama leagues so why not schedule a 9 game ODI series in Palekelle & Hambantota with half of the games likely to be rained off so that will leave them genuine 5 games series )

 

[GreenKhan]

People criticising Pakistan arranging additional one days ahead of a World Cup need to understand that since 2019 World Cup Pakistan have played the 2nd least one day matches amongst the test playing nations. It’s something like 23-24.

Whilst we also play less tests I am all for this series in conditions which could be similar to what we may face in India.

The more we play on different subcontinent surfaces it will benefit us before the big event .

Hopefully they can do 2 tests and 3 one day games .

 

[Savak]

Pakistan already played 2 test matches in Sri Lanka in 2022. I see no point in playing 2 test matches over there again in 2023. In fact they owe us a test tour to Pakistan now. I am with the PCB on this, we need to play the maximum number of ODI's heading into the WC.

 

[Amjid Javed]

pakistan dont play enough test and while ODI practice is needed, not playing this test series is just plain dumb.

both teams knew the schedules ages ago.

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

We really need to play ODIs before the World Cup

 

[Firebat]

We need maximum ODI practise before the WC, especially with the Asia Cup up in the air. But we should not be compromising Tests for a nation that already plays so few. Schedule both. or at least reschedule the Tests so as to not lose them.

 

[MenInG]

The Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) and the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) had initially explored the possibility of incorporating ODI matches alongside the two-test series between the two nations in July this year.

According to a media report, this plan is now expected to be dropped due to unforeseen circumstances.

==

Great news for Test lovers.

 

[MenInG]

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is upset at Sri Lankan board expressing its desire to host the entire Asia Cup and has declined the latter's offer to play an ODI bilateral series in the island nation. According to sources in the PCB, relations between the PCB and Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) have turned sour after its offer of hosting the entire Asia Cup instead of four games being held in Pakistan as per the 'Hybrid Model' proposed by Najam Sethi.

"An example of the increasingly strained relations between the two boards emerged after the PCB turned down a proposal by the Lankans to play a few One-Day International matches next month in Sri Lanka," PCB source stated.

Pakistan is scheduled to visit Sri Lanka in July to play two Tests of the next ICC World Test Championship cycle and apparently the SLC had suggested that Pakistan also play a few ODIs as they are optimistic their team will book a spot from the World Cup qualifiers in Zimbabwe and would need more exposure before the main event in October.

But a reliable source confirmed that the PCB after initially saying they would consider the proposal had turned it down now.

"It is a clear indication that the PCB is not happy with the Sri Lankan board stepping in to offer to host the Asia Cup in September when it is Pakistan's turn to host the regional event at home," the source said.

He said in fact PCB chairman Sethi is also not happy with the response of the Bangladesh and Afghanistan boards over the Asia Cup issue.

"Sethi expected Sri Lanka with whom Pakistan has long had friendly relations, Bangladesh and Afghanistan to convince the Indian Cricket Board and other Asian Cricket Council board members to go with the proposal put by Sethi and at least play three to four games in Pakistan of the Asia Cup before moving the tournament elsewhere." "He is disappointed at the way things have panned out in recent days specially when some of these board heads went to India for the IPL final and met with the BCCi secretary Jay Shah," the source added.

The PCB has not responded to Indian media reports that the BCCI and Jay Shah have rejected Sethi's hybrid model proposal and want the Asia Cup to be held in Sri Lanka.

But insiders say that the PCB is now preparing for some strong decisions regarding the Asia Cup and World Cup if the Indian board does not change its position on the Asia Cup.

It's going pear-shaped for PCB.

All going to plan for the BCCI - divide and rule.

It's going pear-shaped for PCB.

And they have only themselves to blame...

They should have known their standing in world cricket, put their heads down and worked on internal matters like development of domestic cricket, infrastructure, maximising PSL revenues , getting more top tier international cricket to Pakistan etc etc. You know...things that they should actually be working on without trying to spite the strongest cricker board?

But nope....all we got were misdemeanors after misdemeanors . First with that Kashmir propaganda league and a barrage of senseless political statements by countless ex-players that followed it, stupid statements by Rameez Raja about defeating the "billion dollar industry" , then Sethi with his desperate attempts to get a neutral venue for the world cup for no apparent reason.... there's only so much a juggernaut of a cricket board can take.

All in all , PCB has successfully cornered itself into a lose-lose situation now. There's no easy way out.

Regardless what you think. We could be no.1 in every format for 10 years but BCCI still has the power to isolate us by buying all the Cricket boards. If you have money an illiterate person can control millions of doctors, engineer, bankers...............

A good prop for BCCI though. BCCI can say the GoI will not allow cricket with PCB unless it stops politicizing - in the name of game - a territory that belongs to India. I doubt PCB would take lightly to Baloch Premier League or something equivalent?

India is also wants to play in neutral venue against us. If Aus/Eng/NZ can tour us why India players' life are under threat in Pakistan?

 

[sam_ahm]

No cricket board would go against the BCCI, that would be self destruction. I agree PCB have consistently acted in a very immature manner and have now got into a deep hole. Their focus should have been on raising their own standing in international cricket and that will only come by strong performances.

I can say there is nothing that would hurt Indian cricket more than losing to Pakistan in any match, let alone in a WC that too at home. Of course that is something that may or may not happen, but if I were Pak, I would have that target mind. Pak should look to be consistently better than India in international cricket if they really want to hit back at the BCCI.

We could win World Cup next day BCCi can isolate us. Its same as a talented guy with good results don't find a decent job due to lack of connection. So performance really doesn't matter.

By bowing them will not change the situation. Eventually India will destroy our cricket in near future with or withing bowing. BCCI has enough money to buy Aus/Eng/NZ boards, rest alone are useless to mention. That's the problem in cricket to globalize this sports.
In football you will never see Germany bully to Ghana/Nigeria teams.

Thats a very lame excuse
Brazil is still very imp in Fifa despite their corrupt govt and other factors

If Aus Eng and other Asian countries are bowing down to Ind then what's wrong with Pak cricket board?
Pak fans think that their country and team is Superior and want special treatment but reality is different. Cricket is advance now and become billion dollars industry,everbody wants it share, nobody cares if PAK is producing talents from streets or from moon

Australia had the same fear. Pakistan or PCB never said they will not play ICC tournament in Australia.

Not possible atleast on earth, BCCi will come up with characters like Ian Gould and fake DRS so that Sachin continues to play , don't forget that MCG game where umpire called noball for Nawaz
Let's Boycott this WC

No matter how many punches Sethi throws in the air, it will bring no results.

Sethi tried to throw his weight around against India and got humiliated. Now he is trying it with the other Asian boards.

It doesn't take a genius to figure out that Pakistan will likely end up isolated.

Sethi is more emotional than we realised. The pragmatic approach would have been to understand the positions of the BCCI and PCB in relativity and understand that the SLC was acting in it's own best interests; as any board would, especially when leant on by the BCCI.

Yup! It's "more guts than brains" Kind of stuff. Cricket in Pak is progressing at a great pace anyways, hosting Eng, Aus, NZ recently is a big step forward. One Asia cup not happening because India doesn't want to come wouldn't change anything.

The right way forward was to focus on good results while ignoring trips by India. They can't worry about CT trophy being moved out, 2 years is a long time, and it's an ICC event, it is highly unlikely that it will be moved out just because India would say so. Keep building good relationship with other boards until then.

Instead he is even spoiling the relations with other boards. This way the chances of Pak hosting events in future further reduce as even other boards will start opposing PCB and by boycotting events he is self isolating Pak anyways.

 

[Hitman]

Despite what happened to the SL team in 2009 in Pakistan, they were the first non minnow team to tour Pakistan after that.

Not sure which world you are live in, BCCI's main intension to isolate Pakistan cricket since all the boards are bowed to them. It will not happen straight away but if it continues there will be no Pakistan team in near future.

Are you really serious? BCCI wants to get rid us from Cricket all-together and they are slowing heading there. There is no security threat in Pakistan. If Australia, Eng, Nz and rest of the World can visit why Ind think they are superior human then rest of the World. Even Germans are not arrogant like that.

Regardless what you do they will isolate us. Eventually there will not be any cricket in Pakistan near future. No point to bow to them. You can only prolong for few years but it will happen. Its like if your enemy told you to surrender so they will let you live for few years, its better to fight with them so at least you go down with pride. Because once you surrender there is no guarantee they will let you will survive in next 15 minute.
