Who’s going to play then? Broadcasters and sponsors are already wetting their pants because there’s no India vs. Pakistan matchup.

No broadcasters are wetting their pants. They have been trying to find a way to renege on their contract and hence the noises. Pakistan does not figure in Indian revenue calculations. Case in point: ICT fans in USA travelled to SA to support India A t20 team.

Nah it's impossible they'll go that far. At the most, they'll refuse to play the India game in the UAE. Say a 20% loss across the board (midpoint of your estimate). They'll lose $7m. It'll hurt but they'll survive.

Glorified IPL would be huge. It's sad but each game in the IPL is possibly worth twice each game in an ICC tournament.

It would be a very difficult choice for the IPL to do without an India-Pakistan game but if there's no other choice each country will have to accept a 20ish % cut in it's share of ICC revenue.

India’s refusal to play cricket in Pakistan isn’t causing Pakistan to go broke, as the country was already dealing with financial challenges. Despite these issues, Pakistan’s cricket team has continued to perform quiet well.

The real reason behind refusing to play is clear, to sustain the Hindutva narrative.

It might be good for business, but not for cricket. Without a wider audience, it’ll just end up being another game mostly watched by Indians and played by indians and one day you will get bored of playing by yourself and will start begging pakistan again to play with you

The previous congress led government also did not allow the BCCI to send their team to pakistan. The main reason is to reduce the pakistan government's ability to fund islamic terrorism.

Will ICC accept this playing condition?

I say this because,

If Pakistan forfeits the match, there is zero revenue.

If Pakistan is replaced by SL or WI, there will still be a large amount of revenue generation.

So if Pakistan is going to forfeit, their presence makes no monetary sense.

That’s not true. If the Pakistani establishment wanted to fund terrorism in India, they’d find a way, it doesn’t take a lot of resources for either country.

This is more about a PR move tied to Hindutva ideology. If you look back, a lot of Hindutva supporters have pointed out that the Modi government didn’t perform well in the last elections because they felt it wasn’t Hindutva enough.

I don’t think this government will ever let the Indian cricket team go to Pakistan unless Pakistan’s establishment fully accepts India as the dominant power in the region. The government has built its whole narrative around that idea. The previous government, on the other hand, cut cricket ties purely as a form of protest.
 
its the awaaam that’s uneducated lol send them to USA and Canada .. they will see how Pakistani’s and Indians treat each other ..
 
Pakistan should be willing to take the financial hit by refusing to play any of their matches outside Pakistan and continuing to boycott games in India during ICC tournaments. It might be tough in the short term, but in the long run, broadcasters care more about ‘money’ than Modi.
 
India only sends its team to Pak when martial law is imposed look at the history.. truly a despicable nation.

Well, PCB is already suffering. Rubbing PCB's face in the sand day in and day out will hopefully force PCB to boycott BCCI and ICC.
Meanwhile, I agree there is no need to cede an inch to Pakistan and by extension PCB.

ICC to hold emergent meeting on Champions Trophy on Tuesday

The International Cricket Council will hold an emergent meeting of its board on Tuesday to take a final call and resolve the deadlock around the 2025 Champions Trophy in February-March next year in Pakistan. The meeting, during which a final verdict on the fate of the tournament is likely to be given, will be held virtually.

Amongst the attending members will naturally be the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), which has expressed its inability to send Team India to Pakistan citing lack of government permission, and the Pakistan Cricket Board, which has remained firm that it will host the entire tournament in Pakistan itself, thus ruling out the hybrid model, which would perhaps see India playing its matches in Dubai.

The impasse between the cricket boards of India and Pakistan has seen the delay of the announcement of the schedule of the 2025 Champions Trophy, which was supposed to be announced with 100 days left for the tournament.

He's not wrong. 2018 Asia Cup was not Pakistan-led.

I already provided the source in this thread where the Indian government said Pakistan can't come.

"The event was originally scheduled in India with BCCI playing the hosts but Pakistan’s participation was an issue considering the prevailing political situation between the neighbouring countries. The BCCI couldn’t procure relevant clearance from government security agencies to host Pakistan."

Not if you ask the Australians, English, South Africans..... They have promoted BGT and forgot to promote Aus-Pak. Someone pointed out he knew there was an Aus-Pak ODI only when he drew past MCG!!!
Cricket is more widely played than before. Just that Pakistan failed to build a sustainable economy and a cricket economy at that, does not mean it is bad for cricket.

Not going to happen that's why ICC to hold emergency metting on 26 November .

All the cricket board will order PCB to accept the hybrid model if PCB doesn't agree than voting right to be used to decide the next steps.

I can see entire champions trophy move from Pakistan if they will not agree with hybrid model.

would you mind providing the source?

couple of things stick out. a) Pak played in 2016 in India. b) Najam Sethi bragged about how PCB managed to shift 2018 Asia cup out of India.

WC23 was plain as day. a) Wasim Khan wanted WC23 to be hybrid model similar to ASia cup. b) didn't want to play in Ahmedabad. c) delayed agreemnt to participation (until forced into a corner) which delayed the scheduling.

Bottomline is post 2018 DRC proceedings at ICC, there is little to no goodwill between the boards and there is no sign of diplomatic thaw at government level.

I don't. expect things to change any time soon

That was the source.

Najam was just boasting for no reason because he was the head back then.

World Cup 2023 was a result of India not coming for the Asia Cup. This was once again led by India. Basically a similar situation to what's going on with the CT.

Najam Sethi acted like a petulant child(his mental and intellectual age) on Indian news channels and threatened BCCI to play hybrid in wc 2023 and told they were not gonna visit Amdavad. PCB had full intent, not the horse power to get BCCI to do so. I hope Modi is not bitten by the virus and doesn’t become a WKK.
 
The whole drama should just end now. 2 months away now and still there is no news about the schedule. How many times have we seen such things happen before??
This whole drama was created because INDIA refuse to come for an ICC event.

Emergency ICC meeting called to discuss Champions Trophy, hybrid model likely: Sources​


Amid mounting uncertainty over the fate of the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy, the International Cricket Council (ICC) is set to hold an emergency meeting on November 26, India Today has learnt. The meeting will bring together top officials from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to address the ongoing concerns over the venues.

The controversy stems from the BCCI’s decision, guided by the Indian government, to decline sending the Indian cricket team to Pakistan, citing safety concerns in the host country amid tense bilateral relations. The stance has fueled speculation regarding the tournament’s future and the viability of Pakistan as its host.

The ICC will act as a mediator during the meeting, aiming to find a resolution that satisfies all stakeholders. Key issues on the agenda include addressing the BCCI’s safety concerns, the PCB’s insistence on retaining hosting rights, and potential alternatives such as a hybrid model. This model, which proposes splitting matches between neutral venues and Pakistan, has been consistently opposed by the PCB, who argue it undermines their authority as hosts.

The Champions Trophy, a marquee 50-over tournament, holds significant importance for international cricket, and its successful execution is pivotal for the ICC. The discussions on November 26 are expected to play a crucial role in determining whether the tournament can proceed as planned or if alternative arrangements need to be made. Both boards are under pressure to prioritize the sport while balancing geopolitical sensitivities.

PCB Says No Meeting With ICC, BCCI On Champions Trophy Row. World Body Responds​


The Pakistan Cricket Board on Saturday brushed aside reports that its officials will be holding a virtual meeting with their counterparts at International Cricket Council (ICC) and Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on November 26 to resolve the uncertainty surrounding the Champions Trophy. The announcement of the schedule for the marquee event has been delayed after BCCI has conveyed its inability to send the Indian team to Pakistan for the tournament.

"We have no information from the ICC about any meeting between us, BCCI and ICC,” a reliable PCB source told PTI.

He also said the PCB is yet to receive any response from the ICC on the email it has sent to the global body asking for the reasons about India's reluctance to send the team to the neighbouring nation.

However, an ICC source clarified that an internal meeting on Tuesday could take place to find a solution for the vexed issue. “It is a virtual meeting of the Executive Board members to resolve the issue of the Champions Trophy schedule once for all,” he disclosed.

He said the meeting has been called since the broadcaster of the event has been putting a lot of pressure on ICC to finalise the schedule.

“There is a chance that there could be a vote on what to do and whether the event should be held — in Pakistan, relocate it or adopt the Hybrid Model as suggested by the BCCI with India playing its matches in the UAE,” he added.

The official conceded that this time the PCB has also taken a strong stance and was not willing to budge from its stance of holding the Champions Trophy in Pakistan, as they have no issues in hosting any team.

“The PCB has also made it clear that even if the Hybrid model is adopted it will not play its group match against India in Dubai,” the source said.

He said that a suggestion has been made by the Executive Board to keep Pakistan and India in separate pools but the broadcasters are not willing to accept this because of the revenue dip.

The first news came from Indian media, and so did the second one, so maybe check your facts. The PCB has made it clear they don’t want any meetings with the BCCI, even though Jay Shah is trying to set one up to sort things out. It just shows the PCB is standing its ground and not giving in to any pressure.

Now that's pure humiliation for India and Jay Shah 🤣
 
Here’s how the timeline looks:

1. India refuses to visit Pakistan.

2. Pakistan takes a clear stance against the hybrid model.

3. India tries to arrange a meeting to beg for the hybrid model.

4. Pakistan shows cold shoulder to india, making it clear there won’t be any meeting or a hybrid model.

The Indian Blind Cricket team withdrew from world cup being held in Pakistan. There was no hybrid model to accommodate them.

So why is ICC/BCCI trying to shift the tournament to a hybrid model? Just withdraw from the Champions Trophy if you can't get "clearance" to play in Pakistan just like the Blind team. Precedent has been set.
 
It seems that this time PCB will hold firm and don't accept the hybrid model but you cannot be sure as we have seen such situations in the past as well and every time it was BCCI who came on top.

They are disrupting the tournament because they know if Pakistan successfully host a ICC tournament then they will become co-hosts to any world cups held in the subcontinent.

I hope PCB stand firm, no hybrid model and no matches with India unless they reciprocate what PCB have done for the last 14 years.

Here is a more realistic timeline:

2. ICC and other boards scared because they lose out on a serious revenue and may end up antagonizing BCCI.
3. Ask PCB to accept hybrid for certain amount.
4. PCB refuse
5. Jiostar ask BCCI to renegotiate their contract, which BCCI does by scheduling more cricket
5. ICC threatens PCB with a stick of no more ICC trophy tournaments in Pakistan and a carrot of increased hosting fee, to agree to Hybrid schedule
6. PCB kneels and accepts.

The real shameless are the Indians, desperate to play in the Champions Trophy.

The reason why India are desperate to play in the CT is because India want to avenge the CT17 humiliation, and with it fill a massive hole in finances.

The WC23 cost BCCI big, and humiliated Modi and his religious cult in the process.

BCCI is insolvent. No CT, no sponsorship money, and boom, just like that the richest board will crumble. This also proves India is desperate for international cricket that to vs Pakistan. Not only this, but prepared to play in an Islamic country, UAE.

Amazing how money blinds people, these guys don't even know what to feel.

Love it.

BCCI could threaten to pull out, go one up on the threats by reminding the boards of media revenue share, but in true style PCB has pistol whipped the BCCI.

BCCI do not even have the guts to pull out. Cowards by nature, subservient to money.

From a purely cricketing perspective, it is India that appears to act like a shameless child.

From a principled standpoint, where India selectively chooses to play against Pakistan, both the BCCI and the Indian government have never stopped acting like shameless institutions.

I thought BCCI refused to play champions trophy and it were Pak cricketers who were begging for ICT. We are currently at #4 in my timeline. To be sure, I don’t want ICT to play PCT. But so far, PCB allowed Asia cup to be hybrid even without Pak symbol and send their team to India despite threats. So I will let you decide who’s a begherat.
As far as what’s gonna happen, at the minimum CT will not be played without India.

Goi and BCCI are looking towards interests of Indians. If that means throwing their weight around, where they can afford to, so be it. It is the PCB crying about it. PCB started it, BCCI is just learning the tricks. Man up and take it on the chin.

All BCCI ever said is "We don't want to play in pakistan".

Just read the fan fiction on this thread by the usual indophobes and use it as a comic relief.

"iNdIa Is bEgGinG tO pLaY aGaINst pAkIsTaN" :murali


Hahahahahahahahahhaahahahahahja
 
Anyways , all this frog jumping happened before the 2023 Asia cup as well but we all know how it ended. Pakistan were not only dragged out to Sri Lanka for their own tournament against their will but also humiliated and kicked around like no tomorrow with a mauling for the ages by a whopping 228 runs.

Pure hard facts. :bumrah
