Ha!
So one of the prominent solutions is to hand out financial penalties to the only person who happens to be the sole bread winner in the house, that sound like an excellent idea to me.
Everything will be good after that, i am sure.
It is my opinion that you cannot get rid of the BCCI because that is the board that brings you the most amount of revenue. At the same time, you cannot do anything that the BCCI tells you to do. That would be disrespectful to the other teams and cricket boards. The main problem is that the ICC could not impose authority over all the cricket boards thoroughly and equally. And this wouldn't have been a problem if at least 100 teams played cricket regularly.
But whatever happens, I do not think that the venue of the Asia Cup should be changed from Pakistan to UAE. That would be just wrong towards Pakistan which is doing their best to improve the cricketing situation of their country. ICC will have to think about a solution keeping this in mind.
Yeah, i agree that's wrong but IMO everyone should be practical and take some hard decisions and if no one is willing to take some tough call then they should stop cribbing about (Talking about cricket boards).
I've said many times that no board can arm twist other boards if they stand up but it is also true that you have to be self-sufficient and at this moment not a single ACC member is capable of doing so. It's no rocket science that BCCI has a ton of leverage over other boards and it's always going to play into their hands.
Why should the venue be shifted from Pakistan? I don't think that it is right. Today it is Pakistan. Tomorrow the demands will increase. BCCI will refuse to play anywhere other than India. Then what the other countries would do? And it is very clear that BCCI's refusal to tour Pakistan has nothing to do with any security issue. If that was the case, then teams such as Australia, England and New Zealand would also refuse to tour Pakistan. Their refusal is purely due to political reasons, as Jay Shah wants to divert attention from some of his own shortcomings.
Now that's a weird take considering the bloody history of Indo-Pak.
It's not Jay Shah cause it's above his pay grade. It all comes down to Gov to Gov and diplomatic relations and with due all respect, we shouldn't be ignorant about the series of events. Also, everything in Indo-Pak cricket is about politics and it's not a new trend, happening since 50s-60s quite regularly. It would be ignorance if we think otherwise.
