Not playing in Pakistan would mean a hybrid model 🤡

Your demand should be to not play in a tournament hosted by a country that’s killing your jawans.

Your demand should be for the INDIAN broadcasters to have no influence on the selection of groups in tournaments. We all know why India and Pakistan are always placed in the same group.

Lastly, if you don’t want to play in Pakistan, don’t agree to let Pakistan host the CT, and don’t send teams from other sports into Pakistan.

Never India or BCCI said we won't play tournament organised by PCB..it is only said we won't play Bilaterals and travel our players to Pak which is a security risk for which the directive comes from the government..for ICC events, since it involves all countries it is not possible to ignore just one country as points are involved and India aim to win the Cup..

The stand is crystal clear. We only play Pakistan when we need to and where we want to..

Let me come to broadcasters.. ofcourse broadcasters want to earn money..if two countries plays once in a blue moon and sentiments involved, who wouldn't like to earn extra moolah..so they wanted that one match to happen..it's not like they wanted Pakistan for the whole tournament or they bother about your other matches, but just for that one match..You are like disposable tissue..IPL is played without Pakistan players..don't broadcasters earn money?..Can you tell me do PCB get the same earning from broadcasters for the other Bilaterals same as what BCCI earns from the Bilaterals...your players shamelessly travelled to India even after Asia Cup embarrassment and now also shamelessly your board is agreeing for Hybrid model without sticking to the stand..and will do in the future too..

How can anyone with a sense of no insecurity view this as a victory? It’s truly disappointing to see Indians perceive this as a win.

Pakistan should travel to India as neither the country nor its people have any issues with it, and not traveling to India holds no significance in domestic politics.

However, Pakistan should refuse to play its matches in Dubai if it is the designated host.
 
Hybrid model new name" partnership formula" according to Pakistan media 🤣🤣

PCB given new formula for 3 years means Pakistan will not Play in india for any ICC tournaments for next three years.

Haha . initially they were saying that Pakistan will not play in india untill 2031.

And BCCi is not ready to accept this praposal so hold on!! :kp

They just need excuses now to make them selves feel better. they were hell bent on moving the tournament outside pakistan because India are not visiting Pakistan. Some of the suggested countries we South Africa, India and uae. Now they begging for a hybrid model. They will only get it if they host us in hybrid too. *** for tat
 
Clever play by India. Made PCB accept the hybrid model on the basis that Pakistan will have option to opt for Hybrid model for future ICC events in India as well.

But we all know Mohsin Naqvi won't be there and the new Chairman, whoever will it be will send the team to India.

To add this Naqvi is seriously requested to jay Shah about this proposal .

Naqvi - look at this model ,its just for 3 year and india is only hosting one ICC tournaments and that's to co- hosted by Lanka. ( women's World cup not included in this formula)

I think now BCCI should accept this offer. i can feel for Naqvi as After those big talk he needs something for face saving infront of pakistan awam . back at home .

It is understandable to not make sense to senseless ones..let me try to simplify.. Pakistan to host CT 2025..pak want the tournament to completely happen in Pakistan and not an hybrid like Asia Cup..India is ok to participate in Champions trophy but not travel to Pakistan.. Pakistan initially not agrees..But ICC knows it is not possible to conduct any ICC tournament without India..So it makes Pakistan to agree for Hybrid so that India don't play in Pakistan.. Pakistan with no option left agrees and again has egg on its face..India didn't change its stance and hence win..make sense..??

Exactly.

The PCB mirrors the current state of Pakistan.

Mohsin is well aware that his time is limited, and he likely won’t get another chance for a photo op.

I just hope the people of Pakistan boycott the tournament, but since most matches will be held in Punjab, I highly doubt that will happen.

Unless it is officially announced and written in agreement i dont think so BCCI has agreed to it..It means if India and Pakistan are in Final or semifinal, then it has to happen outside India which definitely won't happen...I still feel these are mere speculations or crowd pleasing statements to calm down Pak ppl..
 
I think hybrid model was agreed by all parties a long time ago and the recent drama with the so called "concessions" are just the proverbial lollypop given to PCB as a face saving measure. At the end of the day, all the parties involved want to make as much money as possible in the easiest manner.

Although from now on, I expect ICC to award hosting rights to Pak-UAE combined with one semi-final and the final in Dubai.

Then why did ICC delayed it way past the 90 day deadline?

Even now there is no official announcement or the release of the schedule.

The correct address is the government of India.

As far as I know, the tournament is still being held in Pakistan and Pakistan is getting compensated.

So yea, google the correct address.

‘PCB, BCCI agree on hybrid model for Champions Trophy and future ICC tournaments’

The Pakistan Cricket Board and the Board of Control for Cricket in India have retracted from their earlier stance, agreeing to play their future matches in ICC tournaments on a hybrid model and easing the way for next year’s Champions Trophy to be held.

The two boards held dialogue on Saturday after the International Cricket Council had convened a meeting on Friday and came to a consensus on a hybrid model for the Feb 19-March 9 Champions Trophy after the Indian government refused to allow its team to travel to Pakistan but the PCB has stressed that it will also like the same model to be applied for its team when tournaments are held on the other side of the border in the next three years.

The final approval to the plan will have to be given by the ICC Board to ensure it is implemented fully. The PCB had been sticking to its stance of not accepting the hybrid model after the Pakistan team went to India for last year’s ODI World Cup. It expected India to do the same for the Champions Trophy — the first ICC tournament in Pakistan since it co-hosted the 1996 ODI World Cup — but has now sounded the BCCI not to expect any future favours.

“Yes the past experience is bitter for Pakistan and the ICC has to give a solid guarantee that the hybrid model will be implemented in letter and spirit in future and no Pakistan team will go to India to play any matches of the ICC events and on the same pattern the Indian team will not come to Pakistan” a source in the PCB told Dawn.

The source added that the ICC had asked the two cricket boards to reach at a decision with mutual understanding, before its Board takes any decision. The ICC had convened a meeting online in Dubai on Friday but it was postponed for Saturday. On Saturday it was again not held because the two cricket boards were in the discussion.

“As there will be holidays in the UAE till Tuesday due to the country’s national day, the meeting could be held at any time to announce the decision,“the source informed.

The PCB had asked the BCCI to show a letter from the Indian government in which it had disallowed its team from touring Pakistan due to security reasons and the source informed that no such letter was shown.

“Indirectly, in the backdoor channels, the BCCI had been warned that as it has no letter from its government and had also agreed with the PCB’s Master Security Plan for the Champions Trophy, presented in the ICC’s meeting on Oct 21, it would have a weak case if the PCB was to approach the Court for Arbitration in Sport.”

India remains the most influential member of the ICC, earning a lion’s share from the income of cricket’s governing body, and the source added that Pakistan could ask for a greater share as the bulk of the earning comes from matches involving the two rivals.

“The PCB may raise these points before the ICC to get its due share from its income in future, once the issue of the Champions Trophy settles,” the source concluded.

That's one interpretation. Another is that there are limits to such power. The more uglily you use it, the less effective it is. The USA for all it's power and influence could not get Cuba thrown out of the Olympics and FIBA. Or even kill baseball in the country - a sport it utterly dominates.

You can go pretty far if you dominate the finances. You still have to maintain some semblance of fairness to assuage the scraps of conscience folks have though.

It’s not a warning to Pakistanis if the majority already share that opinion about Pakistan.

I am not sure USA:Cuba India Pakistan analogy is appropriate. USA has had crippling sanctions on Cuba for far too long to have any of the sporting sanctions to matter. Power differential in both the cases is not the same.

I am trying to find his opinion on British/USA when they banned Russian players or even people of Russian origin from participating in Wimbledon or Musical recitals.

I belong to the school of political realism, "The powerful do what they need to, the weak must suffer what they need to".You seem to be an old timer, so you must be aware of what India has had to go through to pander to opinions of `others`

Much as I feel for my country and have consciously chosen to live here, I'm fully aware of our stupidities and absurdities and of Western countries greater commitment to free speech and individuality.

I don't suppose you've searched much for contrary opinions on the West's refusal to allow Russian athletes to participate. I assure you that you'll find plenty if you put in a bit of effort. Just a hint - search for anti-establishment news outlets.

I take well thought out and honest opinions seriously no matter the source and yes foreigners opinions do matter.

48 hours ago Senior sports journalist reported that ICC had told PCB that they have 24 hours to either accept the proposed 10+5 hybrid model or step down as the hosts and let the event to shifted to a third country.

Well it's been 24 hours since PCB has officially notified BCCI that they have accepted the above hybrid model

So why the hold up? Where is the schedule?

Under the current circumstance, Bharatiya cricket team was never going to be visiting Pakistan. Everyone knew that the tournament would be organised in a hybrid model including the PCB who utilised the last month to negotiate similar model for future tournaments to be held in Bharat and to get a bigger share of the revenue to compensate for Bharatiya team’s absence in Pakistan.

The only ones who are insulted here are the hyper emotional Pakistan posters who were up with their gandassa to boycott the tournament, get Bharat out of CT, this and that. It is for them only that Mohsin Naqvi had to do all this acting in the last month despite knowing well in advance the outcome of this.

No! While there was hope that the PCB would hold its ground, it was always clear that the Indian cricket team wouldn’t travel to Pakistan.

Many here criticized India for its farcical stance of selectively playing Pakistan, seemingly to insult those in India who believed the ruling party was taking a principled stand. Instead, it’s evident this was all about domestic politics.

What’s even more amusing is how some continue to believe in such a narrative.

Both countries provide endless entertainment and clearly don’t deserve control over any international organizations.
 
To Pak fans - Choro yaar, cricket enjoy karo. Let the people in PCB take all the headaches which they are paid for.

I have always wondered that if the bulk of the ICC revenues are as a result of Pakistan India matches, Pakistan should be number two on the ICC revenue distribution table then.
 
I kinda sense PCB would cave in. I had 5% hope that they would stick to their guns not allowing ICC to move the game away at the last minute. Here we are. How predictable these things unfold. Why don't they juts go ahead and cancel the whole tournament.

a simple application of common sense can answer this question ... there have been many years in the last 16 years where there have been no Ind vs Pak matches and ICC has not experienced any serious revenue shortfall. Just this year alone there has been exactly ONE T20 match. Do you really think that this one match alone funds ICC's budget for the calendar year of 2024 ? Lets not even talk about BCCI revenues.

The Hybrid Model was always a given. The PCB was never going to boycott the CT and neither were they going to risk having the entire CT taken out of Pakistan and for Pakistan to forgo their revenues. They needed to maintain a strong facade for domestic consumption and also to try and see whether they could get the maximum beneficial deal for themselves as possible while satisfying their domestic audience as well.

India touring Pakistan for a bilateral or international tournament or Pakistan touring India for a bilateral series depends strongly on Indo-Pakistan government relations.

I don’t know the numbers but i am quite sure the totality of revenue generated through our bilateral cricket and tournament matches with Aussies must be way higher than the revenue generated by a solitary match with Pakistan once every two years or something.

Major reason for that is Australia’s stable position in Top 2-3 cricket nations across formats. We have also maintained the same in the last decade and a half. This is why this rivalry has matured as it continues to remain benchmark for which is the greatest cricket nation in the world. Whether World Cups, WTC, more often than not it’s these teams that continue to bang heads for glory.


If in future Bangladesh cricket emerges and the relationship between our nations continue to deteriorate, a Pakistan like dirty cricketing rivalry could form there also. Political tensions will always do this. But we will continue to bring much greater revenues from our steady and historic cricketing ties with major Cricket nations.

The solitary world cup match in Ahmedabad had 10-20% premium compared to other India group matches. That's what the broadcasters get from advertisers. There might be other indirect economies coming into play but if we are truly truly generous India-Pakistan match revenue at max is 1.5X any other India match.

So that’s for a solitary match.
We have been playing Australia on a regular basis since the last two decades and have marketed that clash as a dogfight to claim supremacy in the cricketing world. I believe we and Aussies made a hell lot of money through this rivalry, way more than what we made with PCB.
 
It bound to happen. BCCI will never give anything in written. They know the sense and basics.
Pakistan will travel to India in future.
What if (imagine), they sign a writtent statement and Pakistan plats future ICC matches in neutral venue and they reaches semifinal and finals then they have to travel in india making them a clown
 
Speaking to a local media outlet, Shoaib Akhtar criticized PCB’s handling of the situation:

"You are getting paid for hosting rights and revenue, and that's fine—we all understand it. Pakistan's stance is also reasonable. They should have maintained a strong position—why not? Once we are able to host the Champions Trophy in our country and they are unwilling to come, they should share the revenue with us at a higher rate. That’s a good call."

"In terms of playing in India in the future, we should extend a hand of friendship and go there. My belief has always been: go to India and defeat them there—India mein khelo aur wahi unhe maarke aao (play in India and beat them on their home ground). I understand that the hybrid model had already been signed earlier."

What a dumb attitude by Shoaib no wonder his career doesn't last long.
 
It was naive of ICC to give full hosting rights to PCB. The CT should have been co-hosted by Pakistan and SL/BD/UAE since the beginning.

PCB would have had the opportunity to negotiate with BCCI to play the Pakistan match in Lahore and if they wouldn’t have agreed, it would have been played in SL/BD/UAE without any drama.

Exactly. This even sounds simple and manageable. There is no shame in it whatsoever. International Cricket has just recently returned to Pakistan so co-hosting in first phase sounds just fine. Why is there a hurry in giving full hosting rights to Pakistan.

Perhaps they just didn't realise the extent of Indian govt's determination to damage Pakistan. For non-Indian members of the ICC cricket is a sport, they have to at least try to show impartiality.

If PCB has any pride, then should withdraw the tournament from Pakistan and ask ICC not to put India in same group and arrange tournament in anywhere.
If India has issue with Pakistan they should ask the broadcasters to stop nagging them for India Pak match as their Jawans died.

Sorry but I will answer your 1st 5 words.

PCB has no pride.

Yes because the WC 2023 was played only in India.

The tournaments in 2026 and 2031 are co-hosted alongside Sri Lanka and Bangladesh respectively. Pakistan were most likely playing all their games in SL/BD anyways as BCCI would have tried to avoid the visa issues. Only if Pakistan reaches the final or have to play against India, they'd be playing in India like it happened in 2011..

Wouldn’t they want a group game like they always do to get all the easy money?

As per reports:

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has agreed to the hybrid model for the ICC Champions Trophy.

This decision ends months of negotiation, with India set to play their matches in Dubai while the remaining games will take place in Pakistan.

I want to know about the final.

Don’t care if India comes or not, the final should be in Pakistan unless India qualifies
 
Looks like PCB has kicked every other board ! The delay in announcing Champions Trophy schedule will allow Ambani's JioStar to renegotiate the broadcasting deal. Disney was already feeling the pinch of sky high deal. Every board is going to be losing money . Well Done Mohsin Naqvi 👏 , saving Indian Billionaires money being sent to foreign countries :salute . True Defender of Islamabad!!
