India will not travel to Pakistan to play the Champions Trophy

Pakistan played India in Kolkata in the T20 tournament in 2016. Pakistan played India in Ahmedabad in the 50 over tournament in 2023. So this is rubbish.

Yeah, because India conducted an attack on a Pakistani military base, hotel or railway station...... This ignorance is ****ing pathetic!

IND should eat the financial fallout and decline to participate. Can be recovered easily through IPL

Likewise, Zimbabwe, SL and Kenya never declined to play in England, Australia and New Zealand. So this is rubbish.

India holding the world game to ransom as always...

When teams have refused to play matches in tournaments in the past they’ve had to forfeit those results. What’s the difference here?

The other teams didn't control the money bag and therefore the game. Ridiculous state of affairs.

 

[Shri]

we should do what eng did back in the day and only host WCs in india tbh

we are not flexing our power enough

 

[Stefan9]

No country played in Pakistan for almost a decade. That was all fine? Australia refused to play in SL in 1996 world cup, England refused to play in Zimbabwe and New Zealand in Kenya in 2003. Brown people can also decide for themselves, no?

Pakistan and ICC should go ahead with the tournament without India.

Don't recall any of those teams trying to bully the ICC or hosts to agree to a hybrid model...

Idiot. India is not bullying ICC.

It's the ICC and the other boards who are desperate to include India at all costs, so that they can make profits. Otherwise these boards will incur a massive cut in ICC revenues.

India will forfeit if tournament stays in Pakistan. So get your facts straight instead of uttering BS.

We straight up refused to travel there. If they can't manage a hybrid model, just ****ing play a tournament without us!!! Lol. I would prefer it that way anyways.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

The best possible outcome from all these if the tournament does not happen at all. Pakistan can arrange nidhas trophy instead without india at all the renovated stadiums and declare themselves as true contender of the trophy. Its better tournament than champions trophy anyway.

If BCCI did that I'd definitely be against that (I have an instinctive dislike for the BCCI). But I don't think they are?

Yeah I don't think India really care if they end up playing this tournament or not lol. It's the other countries that really want them there to make it financially viable.
