Well.. why not?

IMO, it may be an excellent idea for PCB, SLCB and BCB to make a joint bid for the major ICC tournaments. BCCI is extremely powerful and they don't need to make a joint bid. But that is not the case with these countries (Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Pakistan). In case they could bid successfully, then I would really like to have one or two matches being staged in Afghanistan and Nepal as well. That can give a huge boost to the popularity of cricket in these nations.

I am sad about Afghanistan. There are millions of cricket fans there. Because of the security situation, the cricket board has moved the home matches to India and therefore 99.99% of the natives can't watch their team in action. What happened in Pakistan is very encouraging. The security situation has improved there and teams such as Sri Lanka and Bangladesh are touring that country. I hope that the same can happen with Afghanistan as well.

And regarding BCB's reliance on BCCI, the situation may change in future. If BCCI had so much power and influence, then why couldn't they stop the Bangladeshis from touring Pakistan?

I am not sure which world are you living in. In 2011, The world cup in 2011 was hosted by Bangladesh, India & Sri Lanka and they eliminated Pakistan. Now in 2023, they will alone host the World Cup, the Indians and they do not care if 3 others nearby cricketing nations wont get any matches and participation in it. How selfish would that be 

That is the situation globally, you cannot pin point the level of stupidity to a certain geographical location , the situation of poor people is the same globally and they are the ones that will suffer the most, even during this lockdown they are the worst affected people because majority live for daily wages and with the situation getting worse how they are going to survive is a big question.

The situation in Afghanistan is different and we cannot expect things to be different any time soon, even the US was not able to control the Taliban and with that the case the idea of some country touring Afghanistan is out of the picture.

Indymoney was talking about domestic situation that's why i pointed out the stupidity of the subcontinent. For example just look at the quakery of Tablighi Jamaat in India. Not cooperating with the doctors, authorities, harassing hospital staff and nurses by showing off their genitals etc.



With all due respect, You don't need to play victim card for starters. BCCI didn't attack the SriLankan team in pakistan, Taliban did! that's why Pakistan didn't get the hosting rights and ICC kicked them out because no team wanted to tour Pakistan and if you want to blame India for this then you are free to do so..

Who gets the WC rights or not? its not upto BCCI per se but ICC voting committee and bidding. I am all up for BCCI bashing anytime but i suggest please use better argument and keep emotions on check.

Not Indigenous people but religious group (Islamic missionary movement/ Preachers). Somehow they thinks that God is going to save them or they can't get COVID-19. Keeping it short as this is not the right thread or might be off topic.

They behave like indigenous people but the truth is that they lack common sense and there were incidents where the medical teams were pelted with stones and attacked them when they went about to check them.

The problem is that COVID does not have a religion . The stupidity we are seeing in some areas are just ridiculous. Even a couple of days back during Ram Navami there were thousands of people standing close to each other in temples and the Nizamuddin event, not sure what these fools are thinking.

The rest of the World cup tournaments were shared and India is power house and this is the first time they will be hosting the entire matches in India and if the other boards wanted the opportunity they would have made a bid. Money plays a major role and ICC wants the maximum profit and if any other country can put up the numbers then they will get the opportunity as well .

Dear Friend please check all realities there is no comparison between Pakistan and Afghanistan situation Pakistan was facing some proxy war from USA, India and Afghanistan so just because of this all Pakistan was in War but now in recent years all is normal and its never been fair to compare these two countries in security issues as India is doing their best for terror attacks in Pakistan through Afghanistan as they have some strong background in this all which was some cleared by Pakistan as Kalbushan was arrested and now its in under control.

If you are hearing only the Pakistan media then you might be brainwashed as the facts says otherwise. Remember Osama bin Laden, Abu Zubaydah, Ramzi bin al Shibh and many others they were all captured from Pakistan, hope you will not claim that they were magically placed inside Pakistan to frame them. Even the current prime minister Imran Khan accepted that there are terrorist in the country and the previous governments were training and funding them. There might be steps taken to control these by the current government but claiming that they were facing proxy war is just nonsense.

I know this is way off and since there is no cricket and you made this fancy claims i wanted to respond. When it comes to international teams visiting Pakistan, not sure what Australian and England cricket board will decide. What ever be the case security is more important than any sporting events and hence i do not see any major international cricket tournaments taking place.

It could be.. Word is BCCI considering mini IPL. Not sure how to react as COVID-19 situation is not good right now.
 
But i don't blame Players and they are not alone, English players too having same sentiments about the IPL. It makes sense as in most cases IPL contract are way bigger than their yearly contracts (Board contract).
