Small correction, not threatening to pull out but unilaterally decided to pass "Neutral venue" as a possible solution.
Do Malaysia and Nepal get anything from it? I'm not aware of that, talking about Men's Asia cup revenue model. I know BCCI doesn't get a single penny from ACC.
IMO PCB has every right to oppose the BCCI proposal be it organizing the Asia cup at their home without the Indian team or boycotting the next 50overs WC but at the same time they should be ready for backfire in the future when they are not getting their share of the revenue from the ICC, every time they are boycotting the ICC tournament in India
And i would like to add that it should be the same for BCCI.
I think the Pakistan cricket board has the absolute right to host the Asia Cup in their own country. For a long time, international cricket was not played in Pakistan let alone any tournament until recently. This is the start of something good and I really do not think that the BCCI has any right to damage that or stop that from happening.
ICC can't do anything in this case, just they can stop funding or again this crap Pig-3 like drama can happen because most of the time these have power to blackmail small boards in these cases with their power and resources. Right now, BCCI is under pressure due to inner policies so most chances we will have no favourable decisions for Pakistan, but things could be changed in the future, and they could be down on earth with this all.
For the good approach of cricket, Pakistan should be given the opportunity to hold the Asia Cup without taking any negativity. It would be better if Asian countries support it instead of opposing it. They have already announced that they will not participate in the World Cup if the next Asia Cup is not held in Pakistan. And it is also a threat to cricket. Many may say that nothing matters if they participate or not. In that case, there is a word that nothing happens without a single country. But there will be some temporary effect and it will be fixed later. But cricket will lose its respect.
I feel that this is a very delicate situation for both the team’s and ICC, and instead of giving statements in media they should all sit down in a room and discuss what’s the best way to defuse this situation. Furthermore I feel that if ICC fail’s to resolve this then that’s why the point of having them, but i do understand that it won’t be easy for ICC and lastly I’m sure that we’ll be seeing more drama from both the team’s over these issue’s.
