It has literally been the same thing since the 90s. BNP comes in, Bangladesh become pro-Pak. Awami League comes in, Bangladesh becomes pro-India. On top of that, Bangladesh has little to no value for Pakistan from a strategic POV.
Such a thing does not exist. In the international system states make decisions based on national and strategic interests. In the Middle East numerous Arab states have been openly colluding with Israel as it has conducted a genocide of the Palestinian people. Pakistan is only doing this to stick it to India. But it's no different from Pakistan thinking they had a friendly government in Kabul with the Taliban being in power.
It's not done out of noble intentions but out of prevailing political alignments in last 2-3 years. It's just plain politics. If Pakistan was such a morality first nation, it would not have been sitting on Gaza peace board with Trump.
If this is a matter nobal intention then why did the PCB not Boycott the ICC Under-19 team's match against India, which was taking place at the time when the Pakistan government announced this decision?
Right, very hostile env for cricket. India set a bad precedent by not shaking hands. Should have had just avoided Faheem Ashraf and shaken hands with others. Good PCB found the spine that BCCI didn't have in Asia Cup. There will be consequences of courses but this fixture of India and Pak has become too much common and boring.
This would be backfire for Pakistan, just like they banned Pakistani players from participating in the IPL in 2009.
Which comes back to my point that average people have no real decision-making power when it comes to major decisions affecting the future of their state.
Let it be . Let cricket end in Pakistan . It’s better than playing under unfair organization. What’s the point to play this game when you have certain board who will bully other nations and get things to work on their own favour. Always creates an unfavorable environment somehow or other .This would be backfire for Pakistan, just like they banned Pakistani players from participating in the IPL in 2009.
Pakistan's only leverage in the ICC was limited to the India vs Pakistan match, but after this decision, if they had any influence, it has also ended.
Jay Shah is ICC chairman for 6 year. Just saying
The funny thing is, then you will conveniently forget about the Hindus who were killed in Bangladesh too.
@sweep_shot
Naah those jamaatis gonna get screwed real bad when BAL returns (and they will).The funny thing is, then you will conveniently forget about the Hindus who were killed in Bangladesh too.
In other words, slit wrist for an ex jo 50 saal pehle muh pe thuk ke bhag gyi thi.
India have screwed India.
India may suffer many setbacks moving forward. Both in cricket and outside of cricket. Process has already started.
Yeah but BCCI should have boycotted Asia Cup as most fans wanted to boycott. If we decided to play, then play in spirit and shake hands with players.
Like minded will be PCB and BCB. Once election happen in Bangladesh, maybe it sill be PCB alone
Run rate didn't matter...... Pakistan spin attack will eat Namibia, netherland and USA alive.........its not 2024
Bore off. India couldn't win a rigged WC in India 2023. Take your lost points where the sun don't shine.
The cult are coming out the wood works on Suicidal Sunday.
Nope, nobody would have done this for Pakistan. Yet again this is another case in point where we are getting influenced to bear the brunt (or lead the charge or some other cliche phrase) of someone else's battle. BD, Afghanistan etc will dance to some fake merry tune of South Asian muslim brotherhood but will promptly stab Pakistan in the back and forget our efforts for them if the situation is reversed or if they stand to gain anything by stabbing us in the back.
What if one or more of the games get rained out?
What happens if you meet them in the semi-final?
Where was the ummah when the u19 were getting trashed few hours back.
PCB and BCB are not representatives of ‘Muslim Ummah’. These orgs are run by bigoted frauds. I am not going to stand behind these guys. Please keep politics/ religious identity etc. out of sports.
Not really. Cricket is secondary now, there is lot of geopolitics things happening, and obviously Pak wouldnt want to sit idle, so they cashed in as well. Besides, the group game against IND is pretty meaningless, as it wouldnt impact Pak/IND much.
But BCCI is a representative of Hindutva India with Jay Shah at the helm, right?
Not for me. But that’s obviously how a lot of Indians were looking at it when BCCI asked KKR to let go Fizz.
But Jay Shah was not the give away.
What if Netherlands need a win in last game to qualifies for super -8 along with india and india deliberately lost against Netherlands ( which I don't think they) to kickout Pakistan from the World T20 and it will be last game from group A.
This.
This boycott is due to recent Balochistan attack (which killed 31 Pakistani civilians). Baloch terrorists are financed/supported by India.
The boycott has not much to do with Bangladesh I believe.
Pakistan targets Balochistan separatists after ‘unprecedented’ assaults
Officials say calm restored to province day after dozens killed in suicide and gun attacks in at least 10 citieswww.theguardian.com
So what?.It is not the end of the world.It is just a game.
It is not going to happen.
