Need to bring back Darren Sammy - he wins every tournament in which he captains a team.

Alzari Joseph, Gabriels... CT already more exciting than wait 20 minutes for Buvhi Kumar's ball to arrive to the batsman....

Their team is not bad at all. Get Pope and Hetmyer in for Walton and Carter.

Would be great as Pakistan would then be guaranteed for a semi final berth as they will have to beat teams like Sri Lanka and West Indies, which they can easily do.
Are we talking about ICC events here?

Can the ICC do that?
Allow a team to enter the CT if another drops out.

If India pulls out, don't Pakistan get 2 points for that game as India technically "forfeit" their game? Or do they now have to play and beat WI?

Surely West Indies get in. Would be a really funny way for India to lose the Trophy. And it would definitely improve Pakistan's chances of entering the semis, though can't be too sure of that either. And they'll probably get smashed in the semis too.

and we have a decentish record in all ICC tournaments barring 2003 and 2007.
Semi Final in 1987, Won the world cup in 1992, reached quarters in 1996, the final in 1999 and semi final in 2011.
Even in 2015, with a pathetic side, we reached the quarter final.
In T20's we reached the final in 2007, won it in 2009 and reached the semi final in 2010 and 2012.
Other then losing to India in every ICC tournament we do pretty well overall.

India will most likely pull out from the CT2017, and hopefully ICC will give permission to WI to join the tournament, so time for their selectors to assemble a squad?
just imagine WI ends up winning the champions trophy
Are you sure about that? There are still a few days to CT, I think they will work a way out. No party would prefer missing out, although I would welcome that for a change.

India are just being babies and trying to hold the ICC hostage. India needs the ICC just as mush as the ICC needs India. There is enough global interest in the sport to survive without India.

May be Afghanistan would be better team for CT.
AND
needs to rearrange the groups to provide balance as it was imbalanced due to put ind and Pak together. So needs to rearrange groups.

Or a big portion of the cricket fans can just enjoy the alternative games as neutrals. I watched the CT final in 2013, was not a fan of neither teams but the atmosphere was great and it was a fantastic game.
I actually wasn't aware of PAK's past record in WCs
Someone thought that the CT match against WI (if so), will be walk in the park, which I found to be a bit surprising, for that starting from 1975, what I know between PAK - WI is (What I can recall from memory, might be missing some)In WC -
1975 : PAK eliminated in group stage by WI, for a last wicket partnership of 63*
1979 : PAK losing to WI in SF
1983 : PAK losing to WI in SF, by 8 wickets & almost 100 balls to spare
1987 : Group stage 1-1, WI winning a dead rubber, PAK winning an active rubber on last ball & last wicket for Qadir's batting & Walsh's sportsmanship
1992 : PAK losing by 10 wickets in group stages
1999 : PAK winning a tight match
2007 : PAK losing a group match
2011 : PAK winning QF by 10 wickts with ~30 overs at hand
2015 : PAK routed by 100+ margin
In CT/ICC KO
1997 : PAK losing the QF at Dhaka
2004 : PAK losing the SF at Southampton
2009 : PAK winning by 5 wickets & half the overs at hand
2013 : PAK losing a tight group match
In T20 WC
2014 : PAK losing an effectively QF at Dhaka, by embarrassing margin (probably ~100, in a T20 match)
More or less, outside Asia, only WC/CT win was at Bristol (1999) & J'Burg (2009), therefore I am not so confident actually. True that this is not the same WI, but, not exactly this is the same PAK either - at Birmingham, in Day fixture -, including Babar at 3 with Shehzad, Azhar, MoHa, Malik, Sarfu, Umar in playing XI against Gabriel, Joshep & Holder................. may be, it won't be walk in the park

BCCI is trying to bite more than it can chew.. ICC won't surrender to BCCI this time around and BCCI will come back to senses that they need ICC as much as ICC needs all playing nations. and in the end all this drama by BCCI is going to end and we'll definitely have India in this ICC Champions Trophy...

Ofcourse India will play. They are just being sissies to push the ICC in their favour.
