"You have to treat Bangladesh the same as you treat Pakistan and the same as you treat India": Nasser Hussain

[gazza619]

People have problem with Jay Shah being head of ICC because he is son of Indian home minister.

However, PCBs head is home minister of Pakistan himself who also happens to be ACC chief. However, none of these hypocrites will say anything.

Jay Shah is not the problem. His policies are here.

Mark Butcher on Wisden: "Replacing Bangladesh with Scotland is a slight on the muslim world"

What kind of paindoo analysis is this lol.

Exactly.
They can't hide their Islamist agenda. Butcher very clearly mentioned PCB are supporting Bangladesh as a muslim nation. They brought religion to cricket and must be exposed.

Nasser has always had an axe to grind with Indian cricket and his double standards have always been exposed time and again. All the criticism of IPL ober the years and yet turning up for every little degenerate filth from Enlgish cricket like a shameless little man he's always been - Stanford T20s, T10s, 100S and what not.

 

[emranabbas]

He's a muslim.
Thats says everything.

Nasser hussain is an indian

 

[Banda298]

Nasser giving indians the taste of thier own medicie and now the bhangra has started on the other side...

Not in 1000 births can he give any taste of any medicine to the country he was actually born in .

He can eloquently protest

 

[Usman Chadda]

Nasser hussain is an indian

You can understand what’s more important for these idiots

 

[Devadwal]

Nasser hussain is an indian

Entire Pakistan is product of India but we have seen how they have becomes.

 

[Rajdeep]

Jay Shah is not the problem. His policies are here.

Pls list down what policies he implemented that is problematic for you

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

He's a muslim.
Thats says everything.

Why are britistani and Pak papers shying away from Zim issue? Why didn’t “everyone should be treated equal Nasser” play against Zim
In 2003 or write about lack of visa in 2009?

 

[Rana]

Why are britistani and Pak papers shying away from Zim issue? Why didn’t “everyone should be treated equal Nasser” play against Zim
In 2003 or write about lack of visa in 2009?

Just like Indians have been shying away from the Zimbabwe 2003 issue

Apparently it’s “security issues” if England did it but “no legal grounds” if Pakistan do it to India

 

[gazza619]

Pls list down what policies he implemented that is problematic for you

I am not going to waste my time talking in details about a fella like Jay Shah

If you like the man, good for you

bhaijaan bro, I wanted to take a moment to address something and assure you that there's no need to get angry. Nasser and Butcher have no particular interest in Pakistan and Bangladesh. They're simply expressing their views as neutral observers.

From their perspective, they clearly see a danger to the future of cricket, which is why they are voicing their concerns.

Their intention is not to target any specific nation but to highlight potential issues that could affect the sport as a whole.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Ok wait.

Han g.... How much more wait???

Accept that you lied

Jay Shah became ICC head end of Dec 2024. All I want to know is what wrong step did he took?

You dont like him because -
1. He is Indian
2. He is kaffir
3. His father belongs to BJP
4. Modi is head of BJP.

So all of these is your own personal hatred. If you think about it rationally, Jay Shah didnt do anything wrong in his capacity as an ICC head to warrant hatred from you lot.

He has however done plenty of good work, which geriatric chairmans before him failed to do so. Empowered womens cricket, improved pay structure for smaller boards, getting cricket in Olympics etc etc.

The gora ICC heads before him were there only for paychecks.

I hold no blame towards you. Why would I? It is clear to me that the real issue lies with the media and bollywood movies. Take "Border 2" for example, it was a massive hit yet it portrayed such hateful values.

It's unfortunate how these elements can have such a significant impact on perceptions and attitudes.

 

[sweep_shot]

Nasser was always a classy fella.

This whole saga has exposed BCCICC to the world even more.

I respect people raising their voicea bout injustice.
I too say it openly Pakistan has been picked on a lot in Cricket and we need to be more fair.

But i have an axe to grind with Sky panelists and will not let these slimy anti hindus get away with it my dear.

 

[oatmeal]

its the truth, I dont know how anyone can argue otherwise. If India had refused to play a tournament citing government approval, ICC would have moved mountains to accommodate their concerns and reschedule the hosting venues. No tournament is financially feasible without India playing.

Teams are not treated equally, its based on the power and financial muscle. Same in geopolitics and same in sport

I dont watch Bollywood because it is mostly crap. The last good bollywood movie I have watched was Student Of the Year and that too only for Alia Bhatt

All I am asking from you is - what wrong did Jay Shah do in his capacity as ICC head. This simple question you are unable to answer. You hate him, we get it and I also listed the reason.

 

[hur rizvi]

That's a good point you make. BCCI asked the ICC and PCB to go ahead and host the CT, 2025 without India. Yet, they didn't. They should have because it would have set the precedent.​

Did ICC vote on whether to kick India out or not?

 

[ravisurya]

1. BCCI refused to travel to Pak Citing Govt permission and Security concerns

Outcome : CT 2025 changed to Hybrid Model. BCCI accomodated

2. BCB refused to travel to India Citing Govt Permission and Security Concerns

Outcome : Security assesment initiated. BCB Expelled

No one is blaming BCCI.. Naser Hussain is talking about ICC but of course in your head criticism on ICC is same as Criticism on BCCI

You forgot to add akistan refused to travel to India. Outcome: ICC did allow them to play all their games in Sri Lanka including the one against India.

 

[Devadwal]

Just got to read what Nasser Hussain said about 2003 boycott of Zimbabwe: (source BBC)

"We'd been in the room at the hotel for three days discussing it and went out for breakfast," Nasser Hussain, England captain at the time, tells BBC Sport.

"Muttiah Muralitharan, the great Sri Lanka spinner, grabbed me and said: 'What's the discussion? Just play in Zimbabwe.'""I looked at him as if to say, 'It's not an issue for Sri Lanka, but it's definitely a very big issue for us.'"

"Sometimes politics and sport do clash, and this was one of those occasions." He added.

What an absolute hypocrite. How do this people preach about principle and fairness to others with themselves having double standards.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

You forgot to add akistan refused to travel to India. Outcome: ICC did allow them to play all their games in Sri Lanka including the one against India.

Yes thats Pak's Refusal after getting Snubbed by BCCI several times like promise of Bi laterals in mid 2010s and then assurance to travel for CT in return of CWC 2023 travel to India. Do not make it sound like it was PCB's Wish or something. it was consequence of what BCCI had been doing before and It still does nt answer why ICC reacted differently to BD and BCCI's refusal to travel

 

[jnaveen1980]

So Nasser Hussain, Mark Butcher words are valued Hope you guys accept the words from then when they are critical of you.

 

[jnaveen1980]

It is all about series of decision making

1)Dropping of Fiz from KKR - BCCI decision - impacts 1 player
2) Asking for new venue for BD - BCB decision - impacts other teams as they have to reschedule everything , admins
3) Opting out from WC - BCB decision - impacts bangladesh fans, players, ICC to some extent
4) Pakistan skipping India match - PCB decision -impact all small nations, themselves, ICC and open to sanctions, further isolation

Among the 4 decisions which one is the dumbest? Even if you assume decision 1 is the cruellest decision it impacts one player and PSL hired him. He is not going to go broke. This is something even Naz would agree to it. How it went from there to this.

Your original post was about how icc was treating others. Stop changing goal posts.

So did nt ICC treat BD different? If Pak got its matches in SL then why not BD?

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

But, both ICC and PCB knew without India, there will be no money. So they made the hybrid arrangement to accomodate India. However, kicking BD out from a tournament, like they have done this time, will have zero impact.

First of all it was nt PCB's Job to arrange tge tournament so PCB had nothing to do with either

Your statement is proving our point

if ICC changes its decision based on Financial leverage of the member over ICC , then how its fair and Consistent?

No one is Blaming BCCI. but any criticism on ICC and people like you come and defend it as if ICC is BCCI

 

[sweep_shot]

Nasser is from a country of equality.

Indians are unlikely to understand Nasser's viewpoint because they are from the land of caste system. Discrimination comes naturally to the Indians.

Indians tend to see everything through the lense of discriminatory caste-like system.

 

[sweep_shot]

England generate the most revenue in football.

Do we see them behave like paindoos involving football? Football generates far more revenue than cricket.

India need to embrace humility if they want to maximize their long-term potential as a country.

 

[Red-Indian]

Why ICC changed its process regardles of when the reservation was communicated. Im talking about need of doing security assesment to make a decision. So in Future lets say CT 2029 if Pak says they have reservation to travel to India 6 months in advance , Will ICC shift Pak matches to dubai or tell them to pack bags ?

I think it's a fair point. The ICC should conduct independent security assessments before agreeing to countries claiming security concerns. It's very different for India-Pakistan though. The two countries have fought several wars including one as recently as 2025. I doubt even an independent security advisor would be able to give a clean chit. The ICC could perhaps have taken the security concerns at face value and given concessions to both countries. I'm not saying they should have but I can sort of understand why they believed India and Pakistan (besides of course their financial value) and didn't believe Bangladesh when it suddenly claimed security concerns.

Is it enough of a reason to boycott just the India game by Pakistan though? BCCI didn't issue a single statement criticising Bangladesh for it's concerns. Every other country also voted.

Pakistan's Boycott has come at a boiling point where PCB felt that they were also hard done by ICC in 2025 given ICC's Accomodation for BCCI and then PCB's accomodation in Current tournament but PCB did nt want it to begin with. The ideal situation would have been if PCB were allowed to keep the whole tournament in CT 2025 .

Then there was Handshake row and refusal of Indian captain to recieve trophy from ACC head because he is Pakistani. These things have consequences and most Pakistanis back this decision of PCB

 

[RexRex]

Any link to this? I have tried to google it and your post is the only thing that comes up.

I don't know though. India is a country you're fighting wars with and who accuse you of fomenting terrorism and who you accuse of fomenting terrorism. You think it's unreasonable for both countries to not want to send their national teams into each other? Yes it would be nice if they were able to get over the hate and send the team but surely it can't be seen as a major surprise and an insult.

The handshake stuff by India was cheap, petty actions that deserved similar reactions. Naqvi running away with the trophy or Pakistani player plane crash mocking was similar proportionate cheap, petty reactions. Not trying to burn down the world cricket order.

Given all the reasons above , Boycot did nt happen but it is now so yeah those points make sense. ICC needs to stop pairing Pak and India in Same group

If you recall my posts from last year, I specifically asked India to sit out and have the entire CT in Pakistan. Agreed it was an ICC event but PCB/Naqvi should have demanded this from ICC. I mean if they can take on ICC now, why they didnt during CT.

You know why? Because PCB, like ICC realized having an ICC event without India will not make money.

In an ideal world, what you are saying is correct. ICC should not be making exception for any team. However, its easy for us to say all that. The people who works in ICC need to pay wages. So though kicking out teams like BD is easy but India is a different proponent all together.

Cricket is not a global sport anyway. India is cricket and cricket is India. Its an undisputed fact.
