^^ PCB was trying hard for Asia Cup but BCCI already shoot them down for obvious reason and they are not going to visit there anytime soon so we can rule this possibility out.
For ICC tournament one possibility seems manageable if any 3 subcontinent countries bids for joint hosting rights? for ex; Ban-SL-Pak ? then Pakistan can host few WC games.

^^^^ Well.. there have been no major terror attacks in Pakistan for quite sometime now and recently they managed to host the entire PSL tournament within Pakistan. There have been successful tours by Bangladesh and Sri Lanka recently. Participation of India is the big question. But if Pakistan is certified as safe enough to host the major tournaments, then the ICC should give them a chance. A good way to start would be with U-19 World Cup or the Asia Cup.
@Vishnu.Reang You are absolutely right main thing was they was checking what is response from peoples and can they manage big events like this and they already pass in both ways so now there is no problem about these last 3 matches they can done any time when we all will be normal in near future.
If they can manage major tournaments, then the financial difficulty which they are facing now will vanish. I can't even remember the last major ICC tournament which was hosted by Pakistan. They can at least bid for regional tournaments such as the Asia Cup. Hosting the PSL was a major success, but we need to remember that it is still a franchise-level tournament. Hosting a multi-national tournament would take them to another level.
@Vishnu.Reang there’s no way that Pakistan will ever get a chance to host a big international tournament at least not in the next few years because of the terrorist attacks, and another reason why it’s not possible is because many countries will not send their best playing 11 there, which may lead to empty stadiums and potential revenue loss. Furthermore as far as the Asia cup is concerned after India objected to travel to Pakistan it was shifted to a neutral venue so both India and Pakistan could participate in it.

Locked down surely going to extend as cases increasing and peoples not taking this all seriously because domesticly we have many issues which are also need some good intention from us.
Sub-continent is filled with Stupid peoples be it India or Pakistan both are same in this manner, Its the poor people who gets the heat always and get rekt.For sure the numbers are going to increase a lot in the coming weeks because now only India invented their own test kit which is cost effective and less time consuming than the before used kits so governments will test the people who have mild symptoms as well from now on.
Yeah, and cost effective ventilators -Portable and single use ventilators for 5-8 peoples- Including IITs and Industry trying to build cheap ($100) bag valve mask alternate to ventilators too, if its successful then Indians can produce millions of ventilators too, which India needs very badly. While, BCCI is desperate to find a window to host the entire IPL (49+ matches) in August - September, PCB is finding it hard to complete the PSL 2020 playoffs (4-5 matches) 
Looks like they are in a state of uncertainty whether to postpone the playoffs to November or declare Multan Sultans as the winners as per the Play Rules.

If I am not wrong, then only 3 matches remained in the PSL before it was suspended due to the COVID 19 outbreak. But I watched most of the group stage matches live on DSPORT and I have to say that the matches were of very high quality. I would say they were more of IPL-BBL level, rather than BPL-Super Smash level. The crowd response was really good and the foreign players performed well. They should not worry too much about the remaining three matches. What they achieved was phenomenal.

Meanwhile BCCI planning to organise IPL between August and September. This show their desperation.
Tough time for India and world, Free time for BCCI officials and they are keeping themselves busy with this, good for them if it happens.Atm situation is not looking good and I have a feeling that lock-down might extend.

This is only a time where it is underrated. Once we start WIPL may be for a year or so it would not get a good response but definitely in coming times we will see a good response and if it done by India where people are crazy of cricket and if get some good support from celebrity as well people will come to see them and surely we will have a packed stadium as well. Only a matter of time before it starts getting to pick up.
Being an Indian, I am a bit more skeptical about the future of the WIPL. Even matches involving the national women's team doesn't get a good response within India. In Australia, the women have a lot of interest in sports and a lot of them follow women players such as Ellyse Perry. But here in India, women are more interested in TV sops and shopping, rather than in sports. Among my female friends, there are only a very few cricket fans.
But that doesn't mean that BCCI can ignore the women players. They need to start the WIPL, latest by 2021.
Its worth giving a shot IMO, earlier the better. I am also not sure about the viewers we would get but its worth giving a shot. People here love cricket so if the tournament falls off from or doesn't clashes on with gents cricket team schedule, I think it should be fine.
BCCI can try with one season and see how much successful it gets.
When they are discussing politics they are biased other than that they are good when it comes to sports and all. I mostlynavoid watching Indian news channels if they are discussing politics.
Meanwhile BCCI planning to organise IPL between August and September. This show their desperation. I am still not sure how will they do it as the situation in India is getting worst day by day.nAremthey so confident that the situation will become normal by that time.

I feel that BCCI missed one golden chance when Indian W team reached the finals in 2017, they lost the final but everyone in India were very happy with their performance now Hype kinda seems dead to me... Let's hope they start this by 2021.
I watched the few games of recent WC in Hotstar and i noticed that 1 million or so people were always watching the game so i think viewership is not problem here.
PS : I don't fancy the idea of cheer leading but if there is any vote then my vote is for Female Cheerleaders. or may be include 1 Male cheer leader with 2 Girls.
India is big country and they have very good media as well
Media is knowledgeable and supportive as far as Cricket is concern. Other than that its not that good. This is only a time where it is underrated.

Initially as said it would take couple of years for people to start and cheering the teams and come in stadium. BCCI would have to put extra efforts to attract crowd and build some interest in people so that they can view the matches in TV as well and get good sponsorship. It is only a matter of time and coming years will have a good response for sure in WIPL as well. How and through which medium this could be done would have to be decided by BBCI.

Don't know about WIPL being as much popular as the current IPL as the craze is much less compared to the current one. Also, I don't know the names of the current Women Cricketers to be excited about it. It's just because they don't get as much recognition like Sania Mirza or Sania Nehwal.
Women cricket is underrated I think. It deserves more buzz than current. Indian Women team is pretty much good team as far as I know. WIPL would be a great edition for women cricket to be flourished.This is only a time where it is underrated.

It doesn't matter if there are no cheerleaders or much prize-money ( although I prefer same prize-money for both men and women tournaments , it might be difficult as men sports gather much larger views than women , unfortunately) or any other thing , all they need is a platform to showcase their talent and in the meantime the audience to enjoy the matches.I think they can play a new 15-over IPL ( I think it will be interesting ) . I feel 10 overs is too less and 20 overs is more in a less scoring match , 15 overs would be ideal .
Anymore reduction of the already reduced 20 overs per side would mean that bowlers would completely lose their significance in cricket. I would say that 20 overs is ideal. The batsmen have the advantage here, but still the bowlers have something to play for. If you reduce it any further, then it will become boring, as you will only witness one type of shot from the batsmen during the entire duration of the match.
Bowlers also might get evolve according to the need if there is 15 over matches in the future but as cricket lover I don't want to see such reduction because it may get less interesting to watch the matches if there are not too many opportunities for all the 11 players were playing the match.
Lets come to women's cricket tournaments, which is not popular as men's tournament but they are getting way better than how it was before two years.On social media more people likes to talk and appreciate the women'r cricket players as well and more over people starts to have crush on those players.
