Did anyone watched today's match between Hobart Hurricanes and Brisbane Heat in the Big Bash League (BBL)? Max Bryant and Chris Lynn scored scorching half centuries for Brisbane Heat and managed to get to a score of 212/3. The Hurricanes fought hard to the very last ball, but fell short by 31 runs. Overall, I am quite satisfied with the quality of this season's BBL. IMO, this is the only T20 league, which can give competition to the IPL in terms of quality.

Are you accepting his view that the ICC will bow down to BCCI, i am aware that the board is wealthy and they have some control over the international counsel and i am not happy with that simply because i do not want to see a board controlling the entire cricket fraternity and controlling everything because of their political issue between two Asian countries should not be accepted by a world body but despite saying that i am not expecting players from England and Australia visiting Pakistan because of the lack of security and if ICC stick to that then it is fine. Not bow down per se, but ICC is not strong enough to challenge BCCI into any arm-wrestling and again @Sithara already mentioned everything. Political crises is main problem. BTW there is no written rule that India should play or not against Pakistan in any bilateral series(or any country), There is 6 teams rule for each team when deciding bilateral series. As long as BCCI filling their quota, no-one cares.

A disproportionately large amount of the ICC revenues come from India, and the IPL salaries represent the majority of the annual income for most of the international players (with the exception of the Pakistani players). Under such circumstances, we can expect the ICC to take a non-confrontational approach with the BCCI. So I don't think that they will get involved in the PCB-BCCI dispute. The ICC has taken many steps in the recent years to cut down BCCI's power. They increased the number of voting members in the executive council and reduced the funding for BCCI. Provoking the BCCI anymore would be self-defeating for the ICC.
History is bitch sometimes and no-one should forget that.
(2008) 26/11 terrorist attack changed the dynamics of Cricket diplomacy and back then Congress was the ruling party (IPL ban), it took 5 years to ease the tension and manage any bilateral series. After that i was optimistic for more cricket but then Pathankot,Uri and Pulwama happened, Followed by Article 370 revoked. so it will take some time to cool things off, let's say 5-7 year or may be decade but it will happen eventually.
Call it idiotic view (Which i don't agree) or anything else but it doesn't matter who is ruling Delhi.

Here I have to agree with JSRAW. It is not going to matter which party is ruling India. Right now, sending a cricket team to Pakistan would be like political suicide for any political coalition in India. JSRAW has listed out the incidents that happened in the past, and these events have changed the mood of the common people in India against any sporting ties with Pakistan. So I don't think that a bilateral series between India and Pakistan is going to take place anytime soon, irrespective of the party which is in power in India.

It should be ICC's responsibility now to ensure that no team "denies" the tour; any team refusing to home-tour the country should get their matches considered as forfeited.
Tough call, agreed with @Sithara. Good news for Pakistani Cricket fans. i was very vocal about this issue that if PCB really want international cricket to come back in Pakistan then they need to host PSL season in front of their home crowd. so very welcome move and congratulation to all Pakistani posters here.
Pakistan to host entirety of PSL 2020

Are those international players going to agree on playing all those matches in Pakistan?
According to reports total 400+ players are interested for 2020 season . i hope PCB make it clear in contracts that all game will take place in Pakistan only. if any player breaks the contract term ban them permanently, follow law step by step then all should be fine in the long run.
I think Sri Lanka's recent tour is enough of proof-of-being-secure.
Its more than enough "proof-of-being-secure- for lower ranking teams. Pakistan should focus lobbying with South Africa and New Zealand as these countries are vulnerable as far as finance is concern in cricket.Big 3 (Ind+Eng+Aus) PCB has fairly good relation with ECB, If Imran Khan personally starts talk with them then situation can improve drastically. same with CA.
BCCI doesn't have any say when it comes to bilateral series between Ind vs Pak. it doesn't matter which government is sitting in Delhi (its a fact not a statement)

How practical is this? If this is implemented, then the weaker teams will get punished and no one will touch the stronger teams. Now you are saying that the ICC should punish Bangladesh for their refusal to play the matches in Pakistan. But the same should be applicable for India as well, right? They have refused to tour Pakistan for the last two decades. But no one will say anything about that, because BCCI is even more powerful than the ICC. Do you think that the ICC has enough courage to deduct points from India?

If foreign players are willing to play the PSL in Pakistan then they would not have an excuse to avoid touring them and it is an interesting phase for Pakistan cricket as they should conduct all the matches in Pakistan if they want to revive cricket and if they have a clear picture then the players can decide whether they want to participate in the tournament or not, hence it will be a make or break situation for Pakistan cricket.I think Sri Lanka's recent tour is enough of proof-of-being-secure.

Yes mate you are right the SriLanka team recently finished the T20 and odi series in Pakistan successfully with any security issues but there are only few players from SriLanka team with coachs. But PSL thing is different there are around 150+players and supporting staff members so my view point how can Pakistan give z+ security for them.

Pakistan's Over-The-Top Security For Lankan Cricketers https://www.outlookindia.com/videos/pakistans-over-the-top-security-for-lankan-cricketers/3064

It is a good decision by the cricket board when they are trying to attract cricket back to the country but as everyone said how the foreign players view this decision is a big factor and if these players take a decision not to participate in the upcoming PSL then the tournament will be in trouble, lets see how the players who used to participate in the tournament view this decision to conduct the entire match in Pakistan. I think Sri Lanka's recent tour is enough of proof-of-being-secure. It should be ICC's responsibility now to ensure that no team "denies" the tour; any team refusing to home-tour the country should get their matches considered as forfeited.
One series is more than enough to access the security of a country, the Sri Lankan cricket board forced the players to play in the series and i am really impressed that they were willing to risk the team even though the attack was against them and do you really think that the rest of the players will come aboard and play in Pakistan, i can only speculate but we will know if the Pakistan cricket board conducts the PSL solely in Pakistan and how many non Asian players are willing to play.

It will be great news for all cricket lovers in Pakistan because after long years break cricket is going to back Pakistan but there a big question about how Pakistan going to give security assistance to all international players and can international players are going agree play cricket in Pakistan?
This is really a welcome step in the Pakistan for its cricket and the audience. Also many new players in Pakistan will get chance to play and will get an exposure playing to other players as well. Audiences will also watching match in their home country which they have being missing.

I wonder which company is willing to take those kind of risky insurance, as a sports person you are bound to get injured and i would like to see their balance sheet after the IPL 
. Every tournament there are injured players and knowing these risk if a company is willing to take these risk, it is great to know which company is willing to take these risk.
. Every tournament there are injured players and knowing these risk if a company is willing to take these risk, it is great to know which company is willing to take these risk.Well.. they are not handing out the insurance for free. For example, for a coverage of $1.53 million (spanning over two months during the IPL 2019 season), Mitchell Starc had to pay almost $100K as premium. And even after that, the insurance provider refused to pay compensation for the terminated IPL contract. Starc was injured during the test match against South Africa, and the insurance policy had exclusion for old injuries (i.e it covered injuries sustained during the IPL season only).
Its not new in many sports they are doing work for players and giving some good amount as few years back I read Legendary Michael Schumacher was paid in millions $ for his injury in Europe and USA there are many Insurance companies doing this business.
An insurance company that accepts sports insurance does know the risk involved and if it is a sports like F1 then the risks are much higher and the premium is not like they insure for normal population but the difference here with Michael Schumacher is that he was retired and he does have a health insurance and that is why he was covered. ~snip
Yes, you are correct all IPL players are covered under Insurance scheme for injuries and the insurance also covers event cancellation due to rain. The key risks covered are event cancellation, personal accident and medical insurance policy for players and loss of player fees due to injury or illness.
Therefore the franchise never incur any loss under such circumstances.
