Things the PCB needs to lobby for and demand from the ICC after the BCCI-PCB DRC verdict

[the_outsider]

Want to ask the Indian posters a different question. Let's say if hypothetically Pakistan decides to play its home series against other teams in India? What that be possible? Feasible? Could the PCB get better tv rights deals? Would the Indian govt and BCCI be okay with it? Will there be massive uproar in India and amongst the Indian public if something like that happens

If you're asking this question then you are clearly not understanding where the GOI is coming from.

It is not possible that India becomes Pakistan's "home venue" and the two teams still don't play bilaterals.

So even hypocritically this scenario defies all logic.

In 2012-13, Pakistan was supposed to India for a T-20 and ODI series, but upon BCCI's insistence Zaka Ashraf agreed to swap and let India host Pakistan for that T-20 and ODI series where the BCCI ended up taking all the revenue from that series with the PCB getting nothing and Zaka Ashraf justified it under the pretext "Everything in Cricket is not about money, it is more important to have resumption of cricketing ties".

So it is clear India has no objections to playing Cricket with Pakistan as long as it is the only party making money.

In 2009 PCB boycotted IPL and the result was IPL became big and PCB could only sulk in a corner leaving it's players high n dry.

If, ten years later you boycott ICC World Cup, then history will be repeated

Not really mate.

England are not going to give a 6 match home series to Bangladesh and Afghanistan, plus Bangladesh’s 2-3 Test matches that they get in 4 years against Bangladesh to make up for the loss of Pakistan

ICC genuinely has no match to sell if India and Pakistan are not playing in ICC tournaments. Maybe they can market England v Australia a few times in a tournament...or maybe this new rivalry of India v Australia....Maybe Bangladesh v India could be the new match to look out for?

I’m sure ICC will find a solution once the second biggest fan base in cricket is gone

The evidence is in front of facts, no Indian govt objections to Pak India matches in ICC events, no Indian govt objections to Pak India matches under India's home series. But magically govt of India objections get raised when it comes to a PCB Home Series against India in Pakistan or on neutral venue.

Its the policy of the govt. India can play pakistan in multinational tournaments. It has been repeated many times by the govt.

And also against India in their Home Series in India, which makes the so called policy hypocritical. It is clear that the problem is not the Indian Govt, but the BCCI with their ulterior motives of wanting to deprive the PCB of huge cash infusions.

BCCI doesn't even get permission to host Pakistan anymore from the GOI.

If it was under BCCI's control, don't you think that we would have had at least 1 series in India in the last 5 years? Why would BCCI lose out on such a money-making opportunity?

Fact of the matter is, that after 26/11, all GOIs, whether it is Congress Party or BJP, have been against having much ties with Pakistan.

This is not just reflected on the cricket field but also in trade and commerce as you will see a sharp decline in trade figures between the two nations in the last 5 years.

This is a decision taken by the elected government of a democracy. There is nothing you can do about it. You can't force someone to be in a relationship they don't want to be in. You just have to accept this view and move on.

Yep and the fact of the matter is that majority of people of India support this stance, so only a silly government would do anything different. If I was a betting man I would bet on the fact that India would continue to refuse to play Pakistan in a bilateral series for the next few decades.

PCB should force the ICC to let them host the world cup or even better just give them the world cup.

The BCCI is not responsible for PCB's cash infusions. The BCCI is free to chose what they want to do. Same goes for the PCB. Nothing is stopping the PCB from generating $$$ from their own fan base.

You are contradicting yourself. On the one hand you say that the PCB is the second largest market. Then go on to say that the PCB is stifled for $$$ because the BCCI will not play.

If the PCB has such a large market, why not tap that market and generate all the $$$ needed for a robust and successful PCB. Make PCB self sufficient. Depend on the Pakistani fan and not the BCCI.

Want to ask the Indian posters a different question. Let's say if hypothetically Pakistan decides to play its home series against other teams in India? What that be possible? Feasible? Could the PCB get better tv rights deals? Would the Indian govt and BCCI be okay with it? Will there be massive uproar in India and amongst the Indian public if something like that happens

I do not think India can be the home for PCB. Not going to happen.

Why would the PCB get a better TV deal just by moving their base to India? If there is a demand for Pakistan cricket, the PCB will get great deals no matter where they play. Location does not matter as much as time of play (in relation to Pakistan time) does.

If BCCI's motive is to strive PCB of funds then why would they let them play in India and get more moolah !!!!!!

Are you even thinking clearly ?

3) Sending World Eleven teams and players to Pakistan for ODI series, T-20 series and maybe a test match in Pakistan as well. The PCB has done very well to host the PSL games in Pakistan, to host World Eleven players in Pakistan, to host West Indies and Zimbabwe and it is about time the world respects the efforts the PCB and Pakistani security forces are making in efforts to host international cricket again

How about first hosting the entire PSL in Pakistan first!!! If we don't have the confidence or the resources to do that with PSL then it's pointless to ask other countries to come and play.

 

[fitCricFan]

All of this is hypothetical, just like the MOU....lol

The then govt allowed that series and they got hammered in the press and the parliament for that decision.

Bhai as you live in the UK you are asking these absurd questions. Trust me all these can be accomplished and more, PCB can also get Annual tours and IPL participation. All this can be solved by only one entity: Pakistan army, just a little bit of action and change in foreign policy of strategic non-state actors will solve all the mess. We can literally be Bhai Bhai and be the first ones to tour rather than Australia who last toured in 1998 whereas India in 2006.
