It s good to see your attempting to help your boy out but your just sinking him further.
Tell me that the Asia cup wasn't relocated due to the petulance of the indian board led by shah?

I am assuming you mean. “You’re just sinking him further” and not “your”
1. I don’t think he is my boy, I don't know him/her.
2. There is no sinking here, you seem to be present in some alternative universe.
3. It is about you and coming up with facts out of thin air.
That is beside the point. Point out Jay Shah’s statement, or else accept that you make stuff up.

ICC guests are pretty happy so far with Pakistan. I hope things stays the same till february
There's nothing to carry because there was nothing said by Jay shah as claimed by you which are a total bag of lies. It's important to everyone because you can't say baseless statements.
And the reality that you are unable to grasp is that Jay shah never said anything like you claim. He said no words that are being put in practice.
And regarding Asia cup- yes that exactly has been Ind policy as always and the same applies for Champions trophy. No shifting of the goal posts but the same consistent policy. Here are a couple of links from one of the most popular websites on this forum-
Why is Pakistan upset over the handling of Asia Cup cricket event?
Confusion over hosting of the tournament has led to last-minute changes and bitterness between cricket officials.
India will not travel to Pakistan for next year’s Asia Cup

Mohsin Naqvi, Chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), has assured the International Cricket Council (ICC) delegation that stadium upgrades for the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy will be completed on time.
In a meeting with the ICC delegation in Islamabad, Naqvi confirmed that all renovation work would be finished before the tournament. He emphasized that all participating teams would receive top-tier security and that international-standard facilities would be available for both players and spectators.
The ICC delegation, which included senior officials such as Sarah Edgar, Aun Muhammad Zaidi, Wasim Khan, and security manager David Musker, expressed satisfaction with the preparations in Karachi and Rawalpindi. They also reviewed security arrangements during their visit.

We hope that you do visit and play in Pakistan after decades of absence. It is about cricket only.
Genuinely appreciate the hospitality!! Genuinely do. Enjoyed the last two Ind-Pak series in Pakistan. Given separate strategic interests of the two countries do not align, I do not see how that is possible in foreseeable future. I believe countries play sports with their (diplomatic)friends and India-pakistan are not those yet.

The whole of Pakistan wants to see India playing in Pakistan. We really do.
Cricket can break the shackles between the 2 nations.
I genuinely doubt it. It has been tried and tested so many times.
1999 India-Pakistan.
2007 India-Pakistan.
The issues are lot deeper than something that cricket series, entertainment or business relationships can fix IMO.

Cut the about "policy" and and say the refusal to tour is always down to political reasons and not sporting.

2004-2008 period... India visited Pakistan thrice forgiving and forgetting the kargil backstab. Bilaterals every year home and away alternatively and also at neutral venues.
What did we get in return? Yep you guessed it right...another cowardly backstab on 26/11? Pakistanis crying about India politicising the sport by ignoring them is the most classic case of the 'Boy crying wolf'.

That's exactly the point actions speak louder than words but you seem to think finding a statement is more valuable than what actually happened. i.e Asia cup

It is of course political- who said otherwise? Bcci has always said tours or playing against pak is always subject to goi approval. And goi will deny due to political reasons. bcci never said they won't play pak for sporting reasons.

Indian media spreading false claims about ICC delegation’s visit to Pakistan
India has launched a negative propaganda campaign concerning Pakistan's hosting of the 2025 Champions Trophy, spreading false reports about the recent visit of an International Cricket Council (ICC) delegation to Pakistan.
Indian media outlets have claimed that the delegation expressed concerns over Pakistan's ability to host the event, though this has been strongly denied.
Mohsin Naqvi confirmed that the ICC delegation was pleased with the security arrangements observed in Karachi, Rawalpindi, and Islamabad.
He reassured stakeholders that world-class preparations are underway for the ICC Champions Trophy, with all stadium upgrades set for completion in advance of the event.
The team, including senior manager of events Sarah Edgar, event lead Aun Muhammad Zaidi, general manager of cricket Wasim Khan, security manager David Musker, and broadcast consultant Mansoor Manj, visited key venues and discussed plans with Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Mohsin Naqvi.
They were updated on stadium upgrades, security measures, and facilities for fans.
During a productive meeting with Chairman Mohsin Naqvi in Islamabad yesterday, the delegation received assurances regarding the timely completion of stadium upgrades and robust security arrangements for the tournament.
The PCB has planned an extensive briefing for the delegation, highlighting the ongoing upgrade work at the stadium, which includes the LCCA ground where practice sessions for participating teams will be held. Additionally, the historic Bagh-e-Jinnah ground has been proposed as an alternative practice venue.
Despite the positive feedback from the ICC, Indian media has spread false claims that the delegation raised concerns about Pakistan's capacity to host the tournament.
The ongoing delay in India’s official confirmation of their participation in the 2025 Champions Trophy has also contributed to speculation, impacting the tournament schedule.
In addition, during a meeting with the ICC delegation in Islamabad last week, Mohsin Naqvi confirmed that the renovation work on all venues would be completed before the tournament.
The Champions Trophy is scheduled to take place in February and March next year, with the top eight teams competing. However, the delay in India’s confirmation has caused uncertainty over the final tournament schedule.
ICC delegation, currently on a visit to Pakistan, has arrived at Gaddafi Stadium to assess the preparations for the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
The visit is aimed at reviewing the stadium's facilities and infrastructure upgrades.

As per reports:
Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is gearing up to host the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, scheduled for February-March 2025. However, the International Cricket Council (ICC) has expressed concerns regarding Pakistan's preparedness.
The ICC Champions Trophy returns after an eight-year hiatus, with Pakistan hosting an ICC event for the first time since co-hosting the 1996 ODI World Cup. Pakistan won the title in 2017, defeating India in the final.
A recent ICC delegation visit assessed Pakistan's venues and security measures in Karachi, Rawalpindi, and Islamabad. The delegation is expected to provide feedback to the PCB.
Reports suggest the ICC raised concerns about venue renovations, citing tight deadlines. The PCB must complete upgrades by January 31, with a allocated budget of PKR 12.5 billion for renovating Gaddafi Stadium, National Stadium, and Pindi Stadium.
The Tournament's draft schedule proposes these three stadiums as host venues, with the final match scheduled in Lahore. India is slated to play all its matches in Lahore.
Meanwhile, the PCB has revised the schedule for the upcoming England-Pakistan Test series, shifting the second Test from Karachi to Multan Cricket Stadium due to ongoing renovations.

@FearlessRoar you posted two post most recent , one is saying indian media spread fake news than another post showing icc has expressed concern regarding champion trophy. So which one is true??
Of course it is political. Common knowledge. Once the BCCI defaulted to the government, it became political. Anything involving government is political.
It is funny when someone thinks Jay Shah needs defense from some anonymous nobodies on a random cricket chat forumThe defense lawyer statements are coming from you as you are playing defense by not being able to show Jay shah statements lol!

No.... The statement proves intent. Right now you are just inferring and if Jay Shah spoke those words, it shows him stepping outside the boundaries of his role as a cricket administrator. Since you have not been able to provide the proof, I will just continue assume you make things up as you like.

ICC's concern regarding stadium upgradation is fair. Time is pretty tight for pCB to complete all the renovation work but hopefully, they will be able to do it.

I really don’t understand why it’s taking so long for GOI to make a decision. What are we still waiting for?
Lots of political point scoring but little to no hard facts
Very disappointing

ICC delegation concludes Pakistan tour with Gaddafi Stadium visit
The International Cricket Council (ICC) delegation, which came to Pakistan to inspect the arrangements being made for next year’s Champions Trophy, completed its tour by visiting the Gaddafi Stadium here on Saturday.
The officials of the delegation, who held meetings with the heads of different departments of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), were scheduled to leave for the UAE late on Saturday, a PCB official said.
“The delegation handed over its wish-list to the heads of the departments of the PCB about the preparations for the Champions Trophy while the PCB officials also briefed the delegation about the steps being taken to make the event successful,” the official further said.
The ICC delegation on Saturday visited the construction area of the Gaddafi Stadium and hoped that the refurbishment work would be completed well within the deadline of Dec 31.
The delegation during its tour of Pakistan had also visited the venues of Karachi (National Bank Stadium) and Rawalpindi (Pindi Cricket Stadium) – where the uplift work continues -- to inspect the arrangements being made for hosting the Champions Trophy matches in these cities.
While the participation of Indian cricket team in the Champions Trophy continues to remain uncertain owing to New Delhi’s refusal to play bilateral series with Pakistan, the ICC has opted to stay tight lipped over the contentious subject.
On the other hand, the ICC approved the Champions Trophy budget in collaboration with the PCB under the supervision of J. Shah’s finance committee. Shah, who is BCCI secretary, was also elected as ICC chairman unopposed, recently.
“The approval to the Champions Trophy budget under Shah’s committee is a sign that things are moving smoothly regarding the visit of the Indian team [for the Champions Trophy],” the PCB official stated.
“England, West Indies and New Zealand teams are going to come to Pakistan [for a tri-series] before the Champions Trophy, terming their visit part of their preparations’ programme for the said ICC event. The PCB hopes to host to make the ICC Champions Trophy a successful event,” the official added.

I dont think you should be spreading false narratives.
It's because some of the posters here are in denial and delusional. Ind is not going to pak for the CT and it will be a hybrid format. And thats the reality. This thread can go on for another 100 pages before the CT but the outcome is the same and posters here will continue to refuse to believe it. . Simple.
As to why- i have provided details in earlier posts and from some pretty connected sources. Posters here can live in denial and that's their choice
It can mean two things
1. We are waiting to welcome you.
2. We are waiting to get you.
Also this seems to be a sponsored placard.

Then why is it taking so long for BCCI to announce their official position?
Honestly bcos BCCI 'can" do it. Not sugar coating it. And they are in that position to do it whereas PCB is not and PCB cant dictate anything. They will wait and wait for BCCI and will agree to whatever BCCI proposes. Thats the reality. All the bombastic talk by pcb is for the domestic Pak people.

Nah the BCCI is powerless. I think it's because the Indian government can't make it's mind up. There are obviously back channel discussions happening but the government has to decide whether the political ramifications of allowing the Indian cricket team to travel are worth it.
I didnt mean regarding the decision itself because thats the GOI decision ultimately. What I meant was BCCI can "delay relaying the decision" & not taking the actual decision - as they know there is no CT without Ind irrespective of posters here saying Pak should replace Ind with SL in the CT and get going

If we wait until the last minute - who is going to arrange a hybrid schedule on UAE / SL? How will the logistics, broadcasting schedules etc all be managed?
Seems like a recipe for disaster..
Also any clarity please on these back channel negotiations? What is being discussed?
Pak concern now should be to get its stadiums ready and forget about Ind touring or not and PCB knows this. Get to organize the tournament without any glitches. Have decent stadiums with spectator experience and make sure the stadiums are packed to the gill - makes for good TV optics for sure.
Regarding hybrid matches - dont worry Dubai is forever perpetually on a standby mode along with SL . They can arrange at the drop of a hat. With SL, its more weather driven than anything else. But and Ind Pak match will get more audience in Dubai than in SL for sure. And its all about the TV audience now and not the crowds at the stadium. And the clarity is - Ind will not tour Pak and it will be a hybrid model.

Im thoroughly enjoying this constant drivel from the indian posters. The dish is only going to taste sweeter once the final outcome comes.
Back channel negotiations for hybrid model. Pcb must already have been preparing for hybrid model. They are waiting only to make an announcement which will be closer to CT
Okay. Marking your post when the outcome arrives

I think a quiet realisation has struck the BCCI.
They know they have to come to Pakistan.
They know they have to come to Pakistan.
Pak should be more worried about the stadiums not being done on time. Everyone should take a leaf out of new York- they assembled a stadium for the 2024 t20 wc in 5 months from scratch on bare empty land. Was totally impressed they pulled it off...
Why not the ICC move on? All this uncertainty can be solved very very quickly. ICC and PCB can take a decision to get SL in place of Ind. as they have not confirmed whether they are participating or not.
Now that ICC and PCB have made that decision, let's get the schedule in place and away we go with the rebooting of Champions Trophy.
No disaster, no back or front channel negotiations needed.

Buddy, unlike you and your fellas, our ego and life doesnt depend on our cricketing team visiting a certain country. So maybe reevaluate your priorities and things you get validation from.
Again as I have said repeatedly there is no ego, its just the reality. The pak.posters here are hung up on Ind visiting pak. I personally want to see the Ind team visit pak and beat pak in their own backyard and also beat them in the SF and final if both teams meet there.

I think India might come as its ICC event and lots of Indian posters will either be left red faced or somehow twist it into "for greater good of the game".
This is a choice made by the ICC and/or PCB. Choosing to continue with this nonsense.

I really don’t think this is on the PCB. They are working non stop to ensure everything is ready for the tournament. All teams are expected to play.
Yes. I pretty much put it all on the ICC.
Sure, all teams are expected to play. But when a team is dragging it's feet affecting the prep for the tournament, decisions have to me made by the organizers. They have to make sure there is no ambiguity in the situation. Decisions should be on the side of making the tournament a success. Not on the side of $$$ greed.
Perhaps the $$$ greed is what will make the tournament a success!

To your first question, that is something the ICC needs to do. They need to push the BCCI to get a final yes or no decision from the Indian government on the travel. We're getting close to the point - maybe in a month and a half or so when tickets need to go on sale. My guess is that will determine the timeline of the decision.
As to the backchannel discussions, again it's only my theory but I would guess there are 2 tracks
- Government to government between India and Pakistan to see if they can start opening things up - trade, sport, cultural exchange
- Cricket boards - ICC, India, Pakistan, Emirates on plan B if it has to be used
The ICC does not need to any pushing. They just need to set a deadline. Say a week from now for BCCI to say yes or no. If they don't hear back, ICC assumes it's a no.
Then SL comes into Ind. slot. Things keep moving. A solution staring right in everyone's faces.

That's funny I thought the indian board was playing the "security reasons" card.The defense lawyer statements are coming from you as you are playing defense by not being able to show Jay shah statements lol!
It is of course political- who said otherwise? Bcci has always said tours or playing against pak is always subject to goi approval. And goi will deny due to political reasons. bcci never said they won't play pak for sporting reasons.
The list of possible excuses the indian board could use include but not limited to : Its being held in Pakistan, "Security reasons", Political tensions etc.
I'm not going to repeat myself countless times regarding shah.
Refer to the many previous posts.
You are sinking yourself in a deeper hole
The list Ind board ""could"" use ?? LOL- what does that mean ? You are speculating so much with such false baseless statements.
And on Shah - not one , I repeat not one link was provided by you . You have nothing to provide bcos Jay Shah never said it. And you are on a face saving mission now
Thats ok !!
Who decides on the facts ? You or an objective source of truth ?

Your obsession about a particular statement is blinding you from the fact that the Asia cup was forcefully removed from Pakistan by you know who.You are sinking yourself in a deeper hole
The list Ind board ""could"" use ?? LOL- what does that mean ? You are speculating so much with such false baseless statements.
And on Shah - not one , I repeat not one link was provided by you . You have nothing to provide bcos Jay Shah never said it. And you are on a face saving mission now
Thats ok !!
That validates my point of the ill intentions towards Pakistan cricket.
The sooner you wake to that reality the better.
I don't need to face save nothing as the above fact proves what I said all along.
I mentioned actions speak louder than words countless times for you to understand the hint yet the penny hasn't dropped.
With regards to the indian board comments of course that is my speculation I didn't claim otherwise.
But deep down in your heart of hearts you know one of them will be true.
so now we are going by gut feel instead of the quote which you said you had posted somewhere.If you believe the Asia cup being forced out of Pakistan happened by you know who then you have your answer.
Time to accept it that you make things up.

Gut feel???.
It happened.
Time to accept your delusional.
I said I had posted actions speak louder than words on multiple occasions emphasising the fact the clown removed the Asia cup from Pakistan which proves he has ill intentions towards Pakistan cricket thus proving my point.
It isn't rocket science.

Do you have proof that he did it to hurt PCB cricket ?
Asia cup was moved out of pak - yet pak still played bending over backwards for the bcci. Direct your ire at pcb for showing no spine whatsoever and shamelessly agreeing to the cup being moved out of pak.Your obsession about a particular statement is blinding you from the fact that the Asia cup was forcefully removed from Pakistan by you know who.

The sooner you smell the coffee and get into reality the better.
Now you say your Indian board comments were speculation lol! When you clearly said jay shah made statements that he wanted to destroy pak cricket. And let's get real. If bcci wanted to really hurt pak cricket - they could have done it period.

Let me break it down simply for you.
We are discussing the outcome of what happened due to the Asia cup being removed from Pakistan as the consequence proves the indian boards ill intentions towards Pakistan cricket.
Shah doing the action proves what I said is correct.
More valuable than a statement for you to read.
It really isn't that hard to understand.
I
agree that the PCB shouldn't have accepted the hybrid model but that is not the discussion.I was starting to believe you are actual shoaib akhtar, but your wnglish is better . Anyways if it was so easy present a proof that Jay Shah made thay move to hurt PCB.

Kamran Akmal on participation of Indian team in CT 2025:
"If their government decides that they are going to visit Pakistan then nobody can go against it, whether it be BCCI president, secretary or anybody else. BCCI would have to follow that decision. So whether they will (India) come or not for the Champions Trophy depend on the decision of their government. So we all are confused regarding their (Indian team) participation but these matters would be discussed at the top (government) level."

From yeah he made those statements, to I was speculating. When asked for proof this guy always says you know the answer. If the answer was so easy, there should have been an objective source of truth. I am out of the debate.Asia cup was moved out of pak - yet pak still played bending over backwards for the bcci.

Whenever there is an ICC event in Pakistan we hear news that the tournament will be happening as per schedule but a few weeks before the tournament, things get changed. I hope it won't happen this time.
