Yeah, because India conducted an attack on a Pakistani military base, hotel or railway station...... This ignorance is ****ing pathetic!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.
Likewise, Zimbabwe, SL and Kenya never declined to play in England, Australia and New Zealand. So this is rubbish.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.
The other teams didn't control the money bag and therefore the game. Ridiculous state of affairs.When teams have refused to play matches in tournaments in the past they’ve had to forfeit those results. What’s the difference here?
Don't recall any of those teams trying to bully the ICC or hosts to agree to a hybrid model...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.
Idiot. India is not bullying ICC.Don't recall any of those teams trying to bully the ICC or hosts to agree to a hybrid model...
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.Don't recall any of those teams trying to bully the ICC or hosts to agree to a hybrid model...
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?Don't recall any of those teams trying to bully the ICC or hosts to agree to a hybrid model...
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.If BCCI did that I'd definitely be against that (I have a instinctive dislike for the BCCI). But I don't think they are?
True bro its basically like a UN conference without United States of AmericaYeah 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.
we accept your surrenderPakistan had to be willing to pull out otherwise it's all just a charade
At this stage I don't think it's excessive for Pakistanis to effectively abdonon the sport, better to do it sooner than later
Stop tuning in, stop caring,stop watching with the family
Slow death to minnow status or decisive conscious effort to take ownership?
There is a choice.
India with it's power and psychological dispensation will just keep Pak on life support, it's not a sport worth bothering with under those terms, it's a communal battle
If only they had the good sense towe accept your surrender

Pickleball?Understandably, a reflexive reaction will be to just follow your usual instincts, that is to invest time into a sport and team you have always liked and a sport nationally important
But a dispassionate look at the direction of paks position and future within the sport is clearly marginal and at the behest of Indian dictat.
Pakistan is not fully unique in this , but NZ, sa, wi have other sports , paks national sport is cricket by a long way, and controlled by a historical and current nemesis.... So you tell me, where is the bright future?
