Jay Shah is the official statement, right now bigger politics for him is to become ICC chairman before his term expires at BCCI. Backroom negotiations are happening to maintain Jay Shah in cricket for as long as possible.
Please get your stats right. He played 19 Tests, averaging 26.81, and 50 ODIs with an average of 34.18. Even in FC and List A, he has averages of less than 40 and 35, respectively. How can you say he was being sidelined? He played only one notable innings in his life, which was against WI. Other than that, he doesn't have anything significant in his record.
Not gonna happen

So pcb leaves it to icc , oops I mean bcci to convince Ind to tour. Yeah- everyone knows how that will go! Hybrid model it is then!PCB leaves it up to ICC to convince India to travel to Pakistan for Champions Trophy
According to a PCB source, while the budget for the Champions Trophy was approved at the recent ICC meetings in Colombo, the schedule and format didn’t come up for discussion at all.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has left it up to the International Cricket Council (ICC) to convince the BCCI to send its team to Pakistan for the upcoming champions Trophy, scheduled to be held in the first quarter of next year.
According to a PCB source, while the budget for the Champions Trophy was approved at the recent ICC meetings in Colombo, the schedule and format didn’t come up for discussion at all.
"The PCB now has done what was required of it as hosts of the Champions Trophy. It has submitted the draft schedule and format for the event and also submitted budget for the event,” a PCB insider said.
"It is now up to the ICC how soon they circulate, discuss and finalize the schedule of the Champions Trophy. The PCB for its part in the draft schedule has suggested hosting all of India’s games in Lahore including a semi-final (if India qualifies) and final," he said

Nothing is confirmed yet but the way PCB is handling this case will likely end up in a hybrid model.
Had mentioned it a while itself based on the TDP sources in the government. There is no way Ind is touring Pak and it will be a hybrid model. Again- not going into the rights or wrongs- just stating the hard truths and reality that's all. The pak posters here can get gung ho and chest thump all they want - but in the end pcb will agree and for all practical purposes has already agreed to a hybrid model behind closed doors.
So true this. Pak posters here will keep denying this but it will happen again and again. Get ready for posters here to go after you for another 10 pages chest thumping and making bombastic statements and then see the CT hybrid model playing out. PCB is just blurting out these bombastic statements for the gullible Pak public - thats all it is and they are foolish enough to keep falling in PCBs trap repeatedly over and over. Same thing for 2026 t20WC in Ind & SL, the 2029 CT in Ind & the 2030 odi WC in Ind.
I am not sure why such inferiority complex to seek validation from ECB/CA and believe BCCI is polluting the sport. Look no further than Australia to see how cricket is no longer the popular game it was, you will be able to appreciate India/BCCI better.
Expose to whom and how is that gonna affect ICC.

Only a certain section of media and certain section of people.
Are there any events indicating otherwise ?
I almost fell out of my chair reading this. I never expected to agree word for word with any of your post.
I agree with the BCCI's hypocrisy. As a leading board in cricket world, instead of being petty, they should raise above and be a true leader in promoting the sport.
yeah certain amount as they spend much on the event management.
yup. It's similar to theoretical chemists.
1. I think you are confusing calibrated stance with absolute stance. India never said they will play with them wholeheartedly. India/BCCI has always maintained they are contract bound by ICC to play with Pakistan. They only have two options either to play with Pakistan or to forfeit the points. GoI has made it's stance clear that under current circumstances ICT will not travel to Pakistan and if that means forfeiting the points so be it. Now that ICC/PCB have found the latter option untenable, so they are prostrating in front of BCCI to get them to come to Pakistan or play hybrid mode. Not sure what part of this stance is confusing. If you say ICT should no longer play cricket with Pakistan and forfeit the points, I agree with you. But that is not the stance of GoI. BCCI is the first world dominating institute to emerge out of India. GoI does have a clue how to utilize that sort of power, which is why Modi is now being blamed for pusillanimity.
I am not sure if BCCI asking ICC to do it or ICC is doing it out of it's accord. But lets accept your argument on face value. We have a section of society which suffers from inferiority complex or as @rpant_gabba correctly calls it Nehru/Gandhi virus. So they will try to portray pipe dreams of India-Pakistan solidarity or milk it commercially. After all the pressure of winning the game is because Indians and Pakistanis are not particularly fond of each other and they replace battle field with cricket field.
We are contract bound by ICC to play them in ICC events. As much as you like to think, getting PCB out of ICC is not a cake walk and I am assuming/hoping it is an escalatory ladder, which is an action GoI will take at subsequent levels. . You might ask why not, I might say good question and the only guess is GoI is inept at using that level of power.
To paraphrase Arthur Clarke: "Koi bhi calibrated policy, anpadh ko, mazaak lagti hain".
USA is hated and feared in equal amounts. Business conglomerates are hated and feared in equal amount. If you are not ready to be hated, you will never be a super power. I know you will quote me Raghuram Rajan and ask "Why do we need to be a super power" at which point, I will raise my hands in the air.
No... our stance needs to satisfy our principles and our interests. In an ideal world the external principles and our interests are aligned, but when they are not perfectly aligned, we need a calibrated policy like GoI has.
I am not sure it was a Covid excuse, since a lot of our players were down with Covid afair.
I am not sure who called you unpatriotic. afaik, no one, and I repeat no one, has the power to pass judgement on your patriotism. You call a spade, if you see or believe it is a spade. You are not the authority on what the spade looks like. If you feel BCCI is polluting the game of cricket, you are free to believe so. But to point out that "BCCI bad because ECB/CA is laughing at us with disgust" reeks of inferiority complex.
Yes and bring in world peace and end hunger and famines. Any more wishes from the genie ?
Given the history of cricket where those two restricted the spread of the sport.
not sure what world you live in.
My hope is the exact opposite.
No.... Shashank Manohar reduced India's share of revenue against BCCI's wishes.
I am not sure where I have said it. If I have said it, please quote that statement. Request you to not attribute incorrect references to me.
Normal countries have bureaucracy, which executes on policy. All policies need not be spelt out by Modi or his ministers. Btw S Jaishankar spelt it out here. Clearly Modi and his ministers have thought and clearly spelt out their policy and worried about a cricket game.
No... BCCI is not contractually bound to play Pakistan in ICC test championship.It went to arbitration to ICC DRC here.
Serious victim Nehru/Gandhi virus of inferiority complex: "ECB/CA/CSA/NZC good. Need to learn about our interests from them. BCCI bad.
You claimed your posts to be the beacon of truth. Yet, just a few posts later, you post this.
Is it for the broadcast contract cycle or for each tournament?
This champions trophy is also an ICC event. WHy don't they just play it without making so much noises and rants about security etc etc when all other teams are also coming and they are not talking about any security concerns?
Separate contracts one for each event and one for broadcast cycle.
PCB is giving presidential level security. Still afraid??? Poor guys.
We saw what happened with SL team with "Presidential level security". Still not afraid ??
Things have been way way better in Pakistan atm since 2009.
Well if it is india,then those who is giving so called presidential security is the biggest threat to india ,Currently ur country Rulers (Miltary) is at backfoot due to IK and Elections Rig saga and their popularity quite low. Now if Indian team is attacked now ,surely Modi government will be forced to take action and war like sceanario will definitely happen ,then suddenly ur Milatary becomes Pakistan people hero and saviour which they want to achieve nomatter what happens. And they will be ready to sacrifice anything to achieve previous IK status, so Small attack on indian team and no cricket for another decade is small price to pay foe them. And it's not first time happened, remember Kargil, Mumbai and Pulwama.
Hey they are correct in calling us "dushman", but Indians are wrong in not visiting dushman mulk. Btw did you find it ironic PCB fan bois calling ICT poor guysYour board chairman literally called us Dushman Mulk in front of the whole world and people here still ask "Oh why can't you visit if all other teams are visiting..are you different"?
I do not recollect attacks on the"Presidential Security" protectee cricket teams. Can you enlighten us ?
Didn't PCB chairman proclaim India as dushman mulk ?
Hey they are correct in calling us "dushman", but Indians are wrong in not visiting dushman mulk. Btw did you find it ironic PCB fan bois calling ICT poor guys
'Presidential level security' is required for cricket to happen, that itself is an issue.
BCCI has been consistent in its stance.
It is not the policy of BCCI, it’s from GoI. Modi developed this polocy to completely negate pakistan from its affairs
Even in 2009 it was a high security for the SL team, when it was attacked and Pak team bus was "delayed" IIRC. Ohh btw SL team was in Pak as a replace for the ICT.
Won't mind that. They have been playing non stop. They need a good break they can catch.
So beacon of truth, you plan on providing any source for this?
So a deflection. guess not the beacon of truth as claimed. pretty weak if you ask me.
That is problem with nehruvian idiocy that BCCI is practicing at this point. BCCI is being trying to limit the impact of Pak-India disputes to rest of the cricketing community. I don't agree with it
This is the biggest deflection ever. You are basing your judgement on hearsay, not on hard facts.
We do not forget politics. We play with them because we hate them and want to replace battlefield with cricket field.
For the love of all that is pure, stop pretending that you have a copyright on truth. You say it how you see it. That's it.
If you had mentioned, India should/shouldn't play with Pakistan I would have respected your opinion. I would have respected your opinion if you said BCCI needs to clean it's act. Since you say ECB/CA are disgusted hence BCCI needs to clean the act or that the remaining boards were rooting for SA to win against India, so BCCI should clean it's act. That reeks of serious inferiority complex.
so did you make up a lie about WTC contract and India pakistan playing becos it was convenient for you?
