No disadvantage other than winning the toss in Dubai .Teams of other group will agree? They will be at a huge disadvantage as they will directly play India in semis in Dubai without playing in Dubai before.
Yes but no other option left .If the final is outside Pakistan then its a complete mockery of being a host, PCB should look for other options

No need for hybrid model just replace Sri Lanka with IndiaExactly that's why the hybrid model is not feasible and should be refused.
Poor from ICC tbh if they let BCCI bully them around like this. International Cricket is a mess
FIFA have their own faults tbf, are extremely corrupt themselves but yeah they do promote the sport well in even the tiniest of nations.It's what happens when you let corrupt 3rd worlders dictate policy.
This is why football is the biggest and most successful sport in the world, it's inclusive and isn't run by small men occupying big offices who do not have the vision to see the larger picture.

Lol FIFA corruption is worse, just that there are so many football playing nations and it’s the cheapest sport to get into.It's what happens when you let corrupt 3rd worlders dictate policy.

If only it's easy as u write then in this world there will be no inequalities.Remember guys what our destiny is.
Once Pakistan fixes its economy and has a decade of progress, with our smaller population we will rise up very rapidly and rightfully claim what's ours.
Until then let them be petty.

I don’t think it’s fair to Pakistan anymore and I’m sure deep down you believe that as well.Indian tv rights in a tournament boycotted by India won't be good enough.
Also expect BCCI to arrange a mini IPL sort of tournament to pare the loss of ICC revenue share.
But ICC should be ready to take a loss. They are responsible for this situation. They knew India's participation in any tournament in Pakistan is slim. Yet they awarded the hosting rights to Pakistan only. It would have been prudent to have a co host and this situation wouldn't have arised.
Hybrid model for CT will be very difficult to execute
It is India's sovereign right to decide whether they want to participate or not. I don't see the point here.It's what happens when you let corrupt 3rd worlders dictate policy.

Absolutely right. The ICC should have thought through this. Silly of them to assume that India would participate and that all will be well.ICC should have had a co host in this case from the start. They messed up.
I don't blame Pakistanis if they think they are being robbed.
For that, the first step is to conduct a fair election, which has never happened in the history of Pakistan.Remember guys what our destiny is.

Afghanistan will be last team to even think about this
Afghanistan is a serious team for Bangladesh fans.Afghanistan will be last team to even think about this

It turned out to be the best FIFA world cup ever. Extremely safe for families as well. Especially when compared to the Euro held in England the year before where their drunk fans were complete hooligans.It is India's sovereign right to decide whether they want to participate or not. I don't see the point here.
Why doesn't Pakistan insist on hosting the tournament on its own terms, with or without India? Are they worried that the tournament won't make as much money without India's participation?
And the 'inclusive' people running the world's football had no qualms to get sold out to Qatar, a country with no tradition of any sport and one which built all the football infrastructure by literally working South Asian labourers to their deaths.
Agree with you. Cricket is an English sport. It should be run by them. I also expect far more professionalism if they run it.
1. Modi says India cannot travel
2. BCCI ask for hybrid model
3. ICC say no and India are told Sri Lanka will replace them.
4. BCCI ask Modi to reconsider.
5. Modi says India can travel to Pakistan.
The above is what will happen.

I know @rpant_gabba will get annoyed at me saying this (he seems to take it personally) but this scenario is still vaguely possible. One interesting thing is that not a single BCCI official including Jay Shah has officially come out and said we won't travel and that the Indian government hasn't given permission. They've been leaking stuff to the media through backchannels to test the waters.1. Modi says India cannot travel

Haven't padosi's been thumping their chest for a long time with posts like the you quoted. The only time BCCI got cornered at ICC was witha inside job by Manohar. We all know how it played out in the long run.I know @rpant_gabba will get annoyed at me saying this (he seems to take it personally) but this scenario is still vaguely possible.

It's very very likely we won't travel given the news and precedent so far though.

Things were so much better under the Eng/Aus veto system.It's what happens when you let corrupt 3rd worlders dictate policy.

Sport belongs to the people playing it.Agree with you. Cricket is an English sport. It should be run by them. I also expect far more professionalism if they run it.
India and Pakistan wouldn't even be independent with that colonial mindset. Own your destiny my friend.Agree with you. Cricket is an English sport. It should be run by them. I also expect far more professionalism if they run it.
India alone brings 1.4 billion people to cricket. It is not a trivial number of human beings. The world is big enough for more than 1 type of game that humans beings play.Qatar World Cup was a successful World Cup unlike 2023 ODI World Cup (which really felt like a bilateral home series for India).
Then again, there is no comparison between a FIFA World Cup and a cricket World Cup. FIFA World Cup is obviously more established and global.
Reference to FIFA is a deflection tactic. Currently, cricket is in a healthier state than it was during the England/Australia veto. Bangladesh would likely not have obtained Test status if they had the veto. They would have banned Afghanistan too. The idea for the 10 team World Cup originated with the ECB's Giles Clarkes. England would not have allowed 20 teams in the T20 World Cup if they were running this sport. Plenty of associates in the past didn't get teat status because of England's refusal. By the way, England boycotted the early FIFA World Cups, but football gained worldwide popularity due to other countries capable of managing it years ago.Qatar World Cup was a successful World Cup unlike 2023 ODI World Cup (which really felt like a bilateral home series for India).

If BCCI officially conveys to the ICC that they are not travelling to Pakistan due to govt orders, there will be no going back from it, unless something miraculous happens between the two countries.
Your concillatory posts have no basis.
Why would India be in a hurry to make the decision now?Well are there back channel negotiations still ongoing that is preventing BCCI / GOI from making this decision now?

A bit off the topic this for your reply. TDP as a party is very pro NRI's for investment. They have an entire NRI wing for NRI investment. And in exchange - NRIs get no bureaucracy, no red tapism and get quite a few benefits as in fast access to locations, direct contact with top level bureaucrats , interactions with top brass etc. A few years ago - they launched a Smartcity village program wherein NRI's can invest in a village and take care of a few poor village families. You could also invest in hospitals and other ventures and there would no local issues and you get benefits. TDP is the most pro NRI investment friendly party after BJP. So you just get the news on something like this if Ind is traveling to CT or not. A side note on the smart village adoption. It can even be just 1 or 2 poor familes that you take care of and I will say it's one of the must humbling experiences ever that I have had in my life. The level of poverty that you see in some of the more rural villages is truly heartbreaking. Sometimes I wish I never saw any of that or had no idea about it. A truly humbling experience is an understatement. And then you compare it to the wealth and the filthy rich amounts that these MP's and ministers have. Truly mind boggling. If the ministers and MP's in Ind were even 20% less corrupt , there would be so much more growth and less poverty.I thought of tagging u .who is your such confidential source? Is he the nri central minister ?
So is soccer. Don’t see you asking so over to be run by the English.Agree with you. Cricket is an English sport. It should be run by them. I also expect far more professionalism if they run it.
Wasn't that already supposed to have happened with game changer CPEC?Remember guys what our destiny is.

You are just butthurt because of your prejudice
Was cricket ever in good hands? want to go back to veto system? getting not funding from MCC/ICC? you are welcome to itSoccer is in good hands. Cricket is not.
ICC needs a status quo change.
Pakistani women popping babies with TFR 3.5
India under 2.0 now
Your pop. expected to hit 500 mill + by 2100 by latest UN estimate.
India to be 1.5 bill.
This theory won't work for PAK, I don't think.

It's so hard not to feel pity for you dude. Do you also believe Bangladesh and Canada still to be ruled by the Brits to ensure they're in good hands.
500 million is nothing for a country the size of Pakistan and it will be under control soon.
India at 1.5 billion can never be 1st world unless they do a China which is impossible because they don't have it in them as a collective. All they can achieve is small clusters of affluence.
Pakistan is primed to be South Asia 2.0, it has a higher ceiling. By that point 1 Pakistani will be worth 20 Indians. Then lets see where the money is where cricket will be played. We will repay in kind don't you worry.
Every sport is in terrible hands. I think cricket's in better hands than football and a bunch of other sports. ICC was always terrible and has remained useless. It's good that the developing countries are beginning to control the sport. Maybe India and whoever else joins in will do a better job. Maybe not. They can't do a worse job than the likes of England.Are you saying cricket is in good hands? ICC has become like UN. Pretty spineless currently.
Yes, Pakistan which relies on bailouts and alms and has no industry, limited foreign investment and low levels of education is going to be worth 20 indians and has it in them.500 million is nothing for a country the size of Pakistan and it will be under control soon.

The only you have it in you is to be Somalia 2.0
Lol at the delusions, you will do whatever the BCCI wants you to do

IMO. This whole back channel stuff is a coping mechanism by pak and its supporters and WKK's
I have made a few posts above too and as you said these will go for not 10 but 100 pages till Feb and we all know what's gonna happen eventually as you mention !Tens of pages of discussion will go on until February but in the end we all know what's gonna happen.
Asia cup and World cup in 2023 both had similar levels of delusional discussions but we all saw what happened in the end and who had to wag their tails at the end..
India will not visit Pakistan.
ICC cannot afford a tournament without India.
Pakistan will fear it's hosting rights to any future tournaments will be taken away if this CT ends up in a financial disaster.
Now do the math..
Uplift of Islamabad, Karachi and Lahore to Shanghai level.
Good luck getting broadcasters to pay as much. Which means lesser share for the boards. Good luck getting the other boards to sign up for CT 2025. Better chance of all the remaining boards refusing to travel to Pakistan on security grounds and ICC awarding the tournament to some other country (USA/India/SA)If Pakistan rejects the Hybrid Model, will ICC proceed and hold the tournament in Pakistan without India?
WIll wait and watch and see what happens
Thank u for the excellent post and detailed analysis.A bit off the topic this for your reply. TDP as a party is very pro NRI's for investment. . TDP is the most pro NRI investment friendly party after BJP.
And on topic - . Another concern the Ind gov had was if heaven forbid something happens to the Ind team even if its very minor -
Yeah... How would you do 30 years of development ? What is it that Pakistan produces ?It's just mismanagement. 10 years of progress for stability. 30 years of development. Uplift of Islamabad, Karachi and Lahore to Shanghai level. Arrived to the 1st world.

What everyone needs to focus on is the source of this news which is ANI, its a known fake news peddler.
Indian journalism is straight up garbage, dont believe anything unless its straight up from BCCI or news sources like newslaundry, print etc.
I dont think any hybrid model shtick is going to fly. Pakistani resolve is going to be tested. Such times require strong men like Naqvi, i hope he does not disappoint. If ICC moves it outside of Pakistan, we should boycott all ICC events in India thereon. I know world will move on, but at least we wont be taken for a ride. Self respect over anything. Cricket is a sport, not a business.
ICC may do that. But will other boards agree to a massive revenue cut. All boards except big 3 are dependent on ICC revenue share for majority of their annual budget.The best solution might be to host it without India.
Not as a way to be "tough" against India but to realistically host a good tournament. A hybrid model is a flimsy idea even though it's possible using the UAE.
I am not sure if PCB knew it. IIRC, it was Saurav Ganguly as BCCI prez and Rameez Raja as PCB prez when CT was awarded to Pakistan. I thought Rameez Raja thought they would be able to get Ganguly and therefor GoI to convince Indian team to visit Pakistan for the trophy(My read of the situation, since Rameez Raja comes across as a know it all).PCB always knew that they would have to face such a situation. ICC knew it as well. If it is hybrid model every time Pakistan is the host, then I think PCB should just stay away from hosting because No point fighting for something that is impossible.

After the Asia cup and World Cup drama, everybody knew it, and if PCB is unaware of this thing then they are pathetic as an organization to not read the situation.I am not sure if PCB knew it.

Yes All multiple sources are from pakistan.Multiple sources are saying ICC has already confirmed the CT will be fully played in Pakistan and India has to participate
Else if India decline - SL will be asked to replace India
