Believe it or not, Cricket is losing its colour day by day because of some incident, I think the four countries are the most responsible for this reason, not only that but also some political decision is also playing a negative role in this regards, especially, in the subcontinent, India, and Pakistan are both playing a nasty game with Cricket. It's a popular game in the subcontinent but this BCCI and PCB are not trying to enhance their relation, these two are always playing a blame game. BCCIC and PCB both try to follow their government's decision and they are not separated from politics. so it's looking an ugly shape for me.

The relation between the two nations have worsened a lot, and therefore it is no longer possible to conduct bilateral tours. Also, Pakistan is no longer hosting such tours, and currently the United Arab Emirates is acting as the home ground. But I don't understand how the bad blood between these two nations are impacting the global spread of the game.

Ever since the start of the IPL, India has emerged as the revenue powerhouse of cricket, and more than 70% of the global revenues are derived from the Indian market alone. Now this is a problem for the Pakistanis, as they are no longer allowed to participate in the IPL. There are other T20 leagues out there, such as the BBL and the CPL, but none of them are as lucrative as the IPL.

For instance, if you allow me to talk about football, India and Bangladesh are supposed to face off in a football match after 32 years .. how many football lovers actually know this? Even us hardcore bengali football maniacs didn't know.
But had this been a India Pak match .. then the stakes would have been different.
I was not aware of that, may be Bangladesh never had a strong football team that could challenge India  Wink. What was the reason for not playing for this long as i am not aware of any political difference between India and Bangladesh.

Personally, I hope Pakistan just dissolves and India becomes whole again, so everyone can live in peace forgetting the past. But we all know that is merely a pipe dream.
Once split and two different atmosphere and political identities and economics, it is better not to be one again.

Again you are also saying "Political game" but not defining what exactly is happening ?
I do not live in that part of the world but I do follow the cricket and need to know what is hurting the cricket ?
I have already explained that, am i in your ignore list  Roll Eyes.

The political rift between Indian and Pakistan and their cricketing board is nothing new. After the Mumbai attack in 2008 there was no match between them unless there is an ICC tournament, the political system has major influence in cricket and they will only ban cricket matches while the rest of the matches like Hockey and other games are conducted without much issue. These kind of restrictions were in effect during the Kargil war too and if we look further back there was a ban during the war in 1962 too. So this is nothing new for the cricketing world  Wink. Personally i would like to see them play in neutral grounds and not to mix politics with sports.

On the contrary it is the politics' mix with sport that has always fueled the excitement in Indo Pak matches. No one gives a crap about actual "friendly" countries playing together in these parts of the world.

I feel this is not right place to talk about this so better you try to google about these countries hopefully you will understand whats happening and how is this going.

Actually, Pakistan and India not hosting any series against each other ain't something new; it has been like this for the last full decade. Other than these two not facing off each other, I don't think that there's anything to worry about and anything related to cricket "losing its colour day by day".

Plus, @iwantapony said "four countries"; it'd be better if he mentions the name of the remaining two countries. Roll Eyes

Totally agree with what Raja said. Just because two nations are not playing cricket doesn't mean that cricket is losing its colour. We don't get to see the IND vs PAK entertaining matches that often but we still have them face off against each other in Asian cup and World Cup stages.

I know both teams India and Pakistan are rivals but I am not sure what nasty games you are talking about them which they are playing ? India is having a tour to South Africa and Pakistan having their home series with Srilanka. I do not see whats wrong you see in them ?
I sure you are not understanding what is he trying to say but surely he is right and its really hurting cricket too much specially after IPL as now Indian cricket board is feeling they are very powerful and can play any ugly political game so they are trying their best and ICC is just a puppet so they cannot do any positive thing for saving cricket and its beauty.

Without cricket my life is boring LOL There are no international cricket at all. I was a bit excited with this Pakistan tour or Sri Lanka (B team :-P ) but rain gave it's hand.

We had a one game today (Pak vs SL) but its already schedule for tomorrow with mutual agreement. let's hope that ground might be ready for tomorrow's game and good to see they are reviewing this series schedule.

Pakistan vs Sri Lanka 2nd ODI rescheduled for Monday



Anyway, This might cheer you up. "Just For Fun, No Judgement"

First when I heard the news about the match getting postponed I thought this has been done for some security reasons. Further came to know this has got postponed for some unseasonal rainfall. Hope everything happens good with the cricket as the tournament already received some threat from terrorism groups.

Not sure if it had cheered up Royse, but it cheered me. This will provably the shortest complete innings in cricket history. I will not share more info here, Royse, you must check it.

I can't wait to see match going to be started in Pakistan.

Not an expert on weather but Yeah Aug-Sep-Oct is monsoon season.

So, can we expect the matches in the ground or we will see the team will come back without playing any match. I mean what exactly the local weather there.

When it comes to rain then blaming any board is not good idea especially when the rain is not seasonal but because of the climate change.

Yeah it's rotational basis but it should be a one of the major point to discuss. its pretty useless policy when you can't even organise single match due to mansoon.

Jaipur , bangalore games are okay but dehradun - vadodara games schedule are disaster.

If I am not wrong, then these are off-season rains. The monsoon season in India lasts from June to August, and September-October should be relatively free from rain. But due to the climate change, now we are getting off season rains all over the globe and what happened to the Sri Lankan tour of Pakistan is another example for this. Even the world cup in England was disrupted by off season rain.

Last year also, the Vijay Hazare Trophy was conducted at the same time, and it went ahead without any major disruptions. And I won't blame BCCI for scheduling. India is currently having a total of 37 first class teams (only the 18 county sides from England come anywhere close), and the Vijay Hazare Trophy includes a total of 160 matches. Organizing this huge tournament can be tedious.

Not an expert on weather but Yeah Aug-Sep-Oct is monsoon season. On some parts post monsoon months can surprise though. Having said that I am with you that we shouldn't blame any Board, be it BCCI , ECB or PCB for this rain thingy. But there should be some concern on this because we are seeing the games being thoroughly washed out due to rains.

BCCI manage a significant amount of games for Domestic cricket, and for 2018-19 numbers went up like a rocket close to 2000 games or more. So I am okay with cutting some slack to them, but still they need to figure something out for rain.

Quickly went through Vijay hajare trophy's schedule and it seems like BCCI messed it up big time. majority of scheduled game in Dehradun washed up completely due to rain. they should manage their schedule according to mansoon season and ruled out the mansoon effected cities for games. India is big country for $*&# sake. 
I wouldn't blame them completely since this is a weird period for the rains and they never anticipated something like this and this might become more common as time passes by thanks to climate change.

Even T20 matches takes more than 3 hours each... I guess very soon we'll be moving to the T10 format. 
I don't think we will see T-10 matches anytime soon since the craze for T-20 cricket based on what I have observed is still very high and majority of these matches are never abandoned and this is good news for a T-20 fan like me.

I will be more a soccer fan than cricket, it's disgusting when you wait for a match long time and end up no match  Cry

LOL... cricket was popularized by British expats during the colonial time, as it gave them an opportunity to stretch their arms during weekends. It is not as physically demanding as other sports such as football and rugby, and at the same time gives the participants a chance to indulge in outdoor activity. Times have changed... and now we have T20 matches... Even T20 matches takes more than 3 hours each... I guess very soon we'll be moving to the T10 format.

Off-season or it's cricket rain season. Before Ban vs Afg match, there was no rain, even after the match day, only a little rain was there. Now, it's a sunshine day here from morning to morning  Grin

It doesn't work that way. Hosting rights are given on rotational basis, and this time I guess it was Uttarakhand's slot for hosting some of the matches. BTW, only the Plate league matches are being played at Dehra Dun. The Elite league matches are being played at Bangalore, Jaipur and Vadodara. And all the matches scheduled for Vadodara had to be abandoned as a result of rain.
