Why can’t both semi finals and Finals be held in Dubai?

Lol sunilz undoing months of hard work. He was actually approaching a 6.5/10 rating on my posting quality scorecard but at this rate he might join burgey in the sub 5 category.
But he is not wrong in saying that the scheduling could have been done better to reduce the travel for multiple nations after it was known that India will play only in Dubai.

Whatever it takes!!!
Look, as long as its a reality that India wont travel to Pakistan, which means Pakistan will also not travel to India, the only logical thing to do is to ensure any tournament that is hosted by Pak or India has a co-host and games are scheduled in such a way that teams get the best possible time to travel and prepare.

Its funny everyone has made a song and dance about travel when we have had literal world cups that were hosted in multiple countries where teams had to criss-cross travel and play.

Actually there point is why are we travelling when India is not . The ideal solution could have been India playing their matches at Dubai and Sharjah .

It’s because the rules are different for one team.

There’s an advantage for India, just need to cop the hate from the other teams and move on. It’s like how England’s WC win* or NZ’s easy WTC campaign will always have an asterisk next to it. They’ll just have to put up with the justified trolling. Same thing here if India win.

I think you forgot 2021 WT20 . I think every match between good sides was won by Team that chased

That doesn't have an asterisk, that one's properly null and void.

The 2024 T20 has a small asterisk with India choosing their semi final location.

Light hearted trolling is fine. Borderline racist attacks esp. on the team who literally had nothing to do with any of this is not.

you guys are lucky the media haven't reported about this at all.

of course cricinfo will be silent

if the british media kicked up a fuss about it like they did about Afghanistan taking part then you guys would be hated on the world stage, in public

for now, hardly anyone even knows about it

Yeah we are really afraid of British media 😂
BBC will Grovel before BCCI to get interview of Kohli.
In case you forgot BCCI took away radio rights from BBC because they were paying less . Try taking on BCCI and see what they will do to your garbage media .
