When you have bomb blasts every now and then and an almost bankrupt govt which depends on IMF funds, do you expect Indian Superstar cricketers to risk their life to travel to your country..the argument put is that the other countries are travelling..but these countries don't have direct enmity with pak..whereas India has..Also other country players has financial dependencies to travel and earn before they retire.. whereas Indians are already earning a bunch by playing IPL, domestic and Internationals.. above that they get lot of endorsement..India is a country with population of all cricket playing countries combined. Above that they are passionate. Compared to that other country people are not as passionate as India..You may talk all bullshits like boycotting India/survive without India..but beware BCCI has the ability to run their own board without ICC support, whereas without Indian viewership ICC is nothing..not just ICC, many pak ex players and youtubers are at the mercy of Indian viewership putting Indian video and contents just for the sake of Indian viewership..Just a blanket ban and these people will started starving. Many international cricket league has Indian entrepreneurs as sponsors paying for these players..I'm not saying BCCI is above cricket..BCCI respects and have no trouble with any other countries/ cricket board except Pakistan..Infact it played an important role in revival of Afganistan cricket..So no other country is going to take a risk in boycotting India for the problem of yours i.e Pakistan..Rather they can boycott you and take side with India for better benefits..

Gaslighting again. Nobody needs to boycott. Pakistan is a pillar of the sport. It deserves to host a tournament. India can participate or not, it's up to them but the show must go on.

100%

If Misbah had it that 2007 WT20 Final shot for a boundary then Pakistan would've been WT20 champions. They would've believed in starting a T20 league ahead and before India.

Pakistan would've had PSL in 2007-08. PSL would've been the dominant league today and PCB would've had billions of dollars in place of India and would be in a position to dictate International Cricket and ICC Tournaments play.

THERE IS NO ICC TOURNAMENTS WITHOUT INDIA .

I know this truth is hurt for pakistan fans but "It is what it is"

If you have the guts then do it without India for once .
 
Don't understand why so many fans make a fuss over this.

- India will never tour Pakistan
- ICC don't give a ****
- ICC will continue to put Pakistan and India in same groups in pretty much all tournaments

Easiest solution is that ICC should give Pakistan money for tournaments they should be hosting to cover fact they can't host, because India want to thrown their weight around. ICC won't don't that.


Pakistan should focus on humiliating India on the field, regardless of the venue like they did in last CT final.
 
I hope PCB takes a firm stance at this point. It can't be Pakistan can come to India, host Asia cup as a hybrid model because of India and continue to get nothing in return. There is a 2026 WC in India and PCB should refuse to come to India as well.

Or simply host the event without India. Maybe financially it's not as valuable but any self-respecting would take a firm stance at this point. You cannot keep letting India dictate everything that goes in cricket including world events. It's an ICC event for which every other country is coming so using safety as a concern is a blatant lie. Furthermore, India sends teams from other sports to Pakistan so I suppose the security concern only extends to cricketers. Regardless what path they go down, it must be firm and not spineless as they usually are.

BCCI is not run by clown like PCB.

2026 World T20 co- hosted by India and Sri Lanka

2031 World cup co - hosted by india and Bangladesh .

If Pakistan have any problem than they can play their matches in Sri Lanka or Bangladesh .
 
It's time PCB grew a spine and put their money where their mouth is. Play the same game as BCCI; pull out and forfeit the game against India at the very last minute using the government card.

India were smashed Pakistan twice within a week in 2018 Asia cup ( UAE) and that too without Virat Kohli.

Pakistan 164/10
India 164/2 ( 29 over)

Pakistan 237/7 ( 50 over)
India 238/1 ( 39 overs)

If somehow Pakistan can Fluke to reached in final they will play anywhere where ICC want them to play even on Mars

Knowing PCB / PCT , Pakistan team will be first team to take a flights to reach india for World T20 2026. You can bookmark this thread :kp .
 
ICC most likely won't host a tournament without India.

PCB has the option of not coming to India for the ICC events if their matches are scheduled in India. But doing so will cost PCB $34.5mn USD for every event.

BCCI makes billions on its own via IPL and its own home series and no pakistani is involved in it.

90-95 per cent of ICC broadcast revenues come from India England and Australia territories. So the actual revenue from Pakistan isn't big.

I don't think taking them to court would do anything. ICC is in the pocket of BCCI. ICC is Vince McMahon while BCCI is Triple H.

I think what Pakistan should do is completely stop playing India in ICC events/Asia Cups. That should hurt ICC's pocket and send a strong message.

We Pakistanis should still use diplomatic channels till the last minute to convince IND to come.

Those who even thought that Indians would even come to Pakistan were living in denial.

Since when this got given to Pakistan especially everyone who's been there knows India would never go to Pakistan.

Pakistan circus board was thinking they were displaying "big hearts" by travelling there to play the WC thinking India would reciprocate like for like.

India would rather get the entire tournament moved out of Pakistan rather than travel there.

It’s disheartening to see how some fans, especially from India, are responding to BCCI’s decision not to tour Pakistan, particularly when teams from around the world, including Australia and England, have recently toured Pakistan and continue to express willingness to do so in the future. No other team has refused to visit for the Champions Trophy, yet BCCI has once again decided to mix politics with sport.

What’s even more surprising is seeing some Indian cricket fans celebrating this decision. These are the same fans who often talk about sportsmanship and claim to support the spirit of cricket, yet when given a chance to support the game itself, they allow bias and political issues to cloud their judgment. True fans of the game should want cricket to transcend borders and be free from politics.

Seeing this behavior from those who should know better is disappointing. Cricket deserves better than to be influenced by hate and division; it should remain a bridge between nations, not a battleground.

The original article appeared on a website called Jagran Josh almost a year before this article. Same figures though.
 
India's behavior when it comes to playing cricket against Pakistan is downright shameful, especially considering the Mumbai attacks and their soldiers who were gunned down and bombed. How can they host Pakistan in India, the same country where terrorists stormed in, bombed cities, shot down their soldiers, and butchered innocent people during the Mumbai attacks? It’s like they’re spitting on the graves of their own fallen. Every time they let Pakistan play on Indian soil, it’s like saying those deaths don’t matter, that the blood of their soldiers and civilians is worthless.

How can they stand there, pretending nothing happened, letting these games go on in the same country where bombs ripped through their cities and soldiers were killed in cold blood? It’s an insult to every soldier who died protecting that land. Every single match they play with Pakistan in India is a slap in the face to the victims of the Mumbai attacks and the soldiers who gave their lives. They’re basically saying those deaths mean nothing when there’s money on the line.

But the second it’s about playing in Pakistan, suddenly they remember the soldiers, the bombings, the attacks? Now they’re outraged and concerned? It’s hypocrisy at its finest. If they truly cared about the lives lost—the soldiers who were gunned down and bombed, and the innocent victims of Mumbai—they’d boycott Pakistan completely, no matter the venue, no matter the money involved. But instead, they play Pakistan when it suits them, when there’s a profit to be made.

This fake outrage is embarrassing. India is using the deaths of their own people—soldiers who were bombed and shot down, civilians killed in terror attacks—as a tool when it’s convenient, but ignores it the moment there’s cash to be made. It’s disrespectful, cowardly, and shows just how little they actually care about their fallen.

There’s no genuine reason for India to skip the Champions Trophy in Pakistan, especially since this is an ICC event with hosting rights already awarded. Mixing politics into this decision undermines the spirit of global tournaments, where participation is based on sportsmanship, not political agendas. If India chooses not to play bilateral series with Pakistan, that’s a separate matter, but ICC commitments should be honored for events like the Champions Trophy.

If the approach is to let politics decide participation, then India should also deny Pakistan entry to any ICC tournaments hosted in India. However, starting a debate over this just distracts from the core issue: cricket should stand separate from political conflicts. Historically, even during times of tension, India continued to visit Pakistan for tournaments. But with BCCI’s growing influence and wealth, it now seems to control much of ICC’s decision-making, creating an atmosphere of unnecessary rivalry under the guise of patriotism.

Cricket fans worldwide should send a unified message that sports and politics don’t mix. The sport should foster unity, not deepen divides. However, some will always struggle to see it this way.

PCB started this by boycotting the Asia cup in 92.

It was arrogance of winning the Wc in 92 and Indian economy being in the dumps, having to go to IMf.

It was PCB trying humiliate India.

Lol, 1992? We’re in 2024, that was ages ago! India already pushed for an Asia Cup with a hybrid model, so it’s time to move on and focus on supporting cricket, which is already struggling to stay alive as a sport. But I know exactly why you’re here and what you’re looking to discuss.

India has not hosted Asia Cup since 1990. Can you imagine why?
Pakistan blocked India's chance to host and PCB forced 2018 Asia Cup to be hosted in UAE. The reason we don't remember about it is that BCCI or Indians don't cry for months and years over stubborn geo-politics.

www.espncricinfo.com

Asia Cup 2018 moved from India to UAE

The six-team tournament is slated for September; PCB to co-host Emerging Team's Asia Cup with Sri Lanka in December
www.espncricinfo.com www.espncricinfo.com

Political tensions between India and Pakistan has been cited as the reason for the change. "The ACC deliberated on the matter and decided that this was the best way forward," Asian Cricket Council and PCB chairman Najam Sethi told ESPNcricinfo.

Memories are truly short and selective :facepalm:

If this is all an issue of your dignity then stop playing with us in ICC tournaments and send a message to the world.
 
Ideally we should be asked to not bother with this tournament but nothing will happen. Joke of a sport.
 
For once PCB has to take a stand and Kick India out of the tournament.

Money is not everything, PCB should not bow down now. India is not needed in pakistan.They can stay in their homes behind the shalwars of their wives.Pathetic people.

Pakistan must not visit India as well when they host an ICC tournament again.
