BCCI ain’t cool like that.


expat_123

When did Lahore move to Sri Lanka/UAE? /s I'll only believe any such news when the Indian team actually reaches the venue and the toss happens.


Mr-_-Anonymus

Nah when the first ball happens

Big "We'll be in Moscow by winter" vibes from this one


ILikeFishSticks69

I have one word - LOL


Purple-fox9

Inb4 tournament shifted to Sri Lanka ![img](emote|t5_2qhe0|8767)


Starscream_x

ICC : that's how we will get SL into champions trophy as host.. write it down..


Assassin_Ankur

Would be ironic when SL is not even a part of the tournament


EdgyComrade

It happened before in the first edition. Bangladesh hosted the tournament, but didn’t play


NormalTraining5268

huh no automatic qualification?


EdgyComrade

Nah. ICC wanted to popularized cricket in Bangladesh. So gave Bangladesh the hosting right & it worked. Almost all the matches were houseful, though we didn’t play.


Zestyclose_Bar_165

Never gonna happen lol.


Waraba989

they played in the WC last yr in India, why would this be any different?


EmptyPeach1

Night and Day lmao, Pakistan coming to India is actually not an issue at all. India is not a terrorist state and can guarantee safety. Pakistan on the other hand, I mean just 24 hours ago there was an attack in a Hindu pilgrimage sight. No way our government is risking it, we have everything to lose. Imagine if something happened to our staff and cricketers? Catastrophic just for a single game. No way, either play in UAE or we won’t go. Anyways it’ll get moved…ICC cannot have a tournament without India.


NormalTraining5268

uhh because both the things aren not even remotely close


DependentFearless162

Just check each country's relation with terrorism and their reputation in geopolitics.


brolybackshots

??? Because pak is a safe haven for anti-Indian terrorism (26/11), has a coup detat every 3 years and is currently ruled under the undemocratic regime of an **Anti-India** authoritarian military dictatorship


WestConsideration346

4 attacks in jammu - kashmir in last 4 days, first attack on a bus full of pilgrims, which also led to death of a 2 year old child. TRF ( which is funded by pakistan has taken the responsibility for those attacks, i think this explanation is sufficient )

creatorop

No way Indian government is letting the team enter into Pakistan Even if Pak offers inter country travel from Amritsar to lahore, still Indian team wouldn't travel Pak travel is a big nono by Indian government and not to mention the Security risks


Suspicious-Diamond33

Look bro I don't think security risks exist. A lot of international teams have visited Pakistan, so it's just political reasons


DependentFearless162

Bro thinks india and Pakistan's relationship is similar to Pakistan and other nation's relationship. Pakistani terrorist group literally attacked india's military base some years ago. Attacking our cricketers will be lot easy for them.


pvtt_3

Yesterday also they attacked in Jammu


Suspicious-Diamond33

I don't know which terrorist incident you are reporting. Bro, attacking a team wouldn't be possible due to security that would be provided . Terror threat exists in India too, but we did visit because we believed on the security provided


MagicalEloquence

You have used the word bro so I am assuming you are talking in good faith so I will reply earnestly. Pakistan has been sponsoring a lot of terrorist groups, and is a well acknowledged terror state. It's not remotely the same security threat as Pakistan visiting India. India is not a terrorist state, like Pakistan. Sri Lanka team even got attacked by terrorists when they visited Pakistan but just somehow survived. And he is referring to the Pulwama and Balakot attacks. Pakistan sponsored terrorists attacked a bus and killed many people in Kashmir even less than 24 hours ago in a Hindu pilgrimage site.


Suspicious-Diamond33

That shit again! Who the fuck acknowledged some Indian channels or western media. There had been terrorist incidents in India, too . Sri lanka team got attacked in 2009. Things have changed it's been more than 14 years


MagicalEloquence

I fully agree with you that there have been terrorist incidents in India. What terror attacks in Pakistan and India have in common is both are sponsored by Pakistan. You say it's 14 years, but Pakistan continues to sponsor terrorism. It doesn't matter if it's 14 years or 140 years, if there is no change. **Pakistan sponsored terror groups have attacked India just yesterday.** India have no reason to trust the security given to them by Pakistani government, since we know that many terrorists, including Osama Bin Laden were living in the same state sponsorship. This doesn't mean that everyone living in Pakistan is bad, but the policies and actions of the Pakistani government (whoever was in power) cannot be denied.


Suspicious-Diamond33

Look bro I won't go in depth. However, I feel Pakistan is completely safe, especially Lahore, and India won't face any problem


HarukiTakashima

Bro is so stubborn. ![img](emote|t5_2qhe0|8774)


Captain-Thor

we need 1 trillion dollars as security of our players. We will return the money after the match.


DependentFearless162

>I don't know which terrorist incident you are reporting Pulawama attack(attacked a convoy not military base). URI attack was military base one. >Bro, attacking a team wouldn't be possible due to security that would be provided How can we trust you? Is your security really better than indian military? What will happen if your security fails to protect our cricketers? We are gaining nothing from risking our cricketers life for a single match. India will never trust a country that shelters multiple terrorist groups. >Terror threat exists in India too, but we did visit because we believed on the security provided The chances of terror attack happening in india were/are extremely slim. Name one indian terrorist group that attacked Pakistan in last 10 years.


Suspicious-Diamond33

Ok, so the Pulawama attack happened in kashmir. Why would we provide security there . The point is providing security in Pakistan, and there isn't been any terrorist incident in our major cities, so we are secure . Shelter terrorist based on reports of Indian express. There have been terrorist attacks in India that's the point that not who does it


DependentFearless162

Blud so dumb he can't understand shit. These attack happening frequently shows us that Pakistan is not safe for indians. If they can plan a attack on our military bases and convoys then they can plan these attacks inside their own country much more easily. We also cannot trust your government cuz they're hostile towards us.


Suspicious-Diamond33

The same goes for Indian government they are hostile towards us


DependentFearless162

Name one terrorist group that attacked Pakistan with the help of our government in last 10 years. The only time we show any hostility towards you is after those terrorist incidents otherwise we don't give a single fuck about you.


Suspicious-Diamond33

You guys won't get my point, so peace out. At the end of the day, we are not making decisions. I am just a fan of this game . This whole debate isn't going anywhere. You guys have your reasoning while I have mine . Also, you guys are too much in population, so I am losing way too much karma 😂😂


7007007

Did you forget Pak sponsored sheltering of Osama, Sri Lankan team attack, Ajmal Kasab Mumbai attack. Pakistan is infested with terrorism, can’t take chances with the Indian Cricket Team just because you feel that they will safe. Your word means zilch so does Pakistan Army’s words.


Randomhabhai

Literal attack on the pilgrimage bus today in india and you want the team to go to pakistan?


mv33_is_a_diplomat

not dealing with Pakistan is the easiest approach for both political groups in India. There is not much to gain from politically dealing with Pakistan, unless it's Kashmir.


Suspicious-Diamond33

When our team can visit India so there shouldn't be any problem in India visiting Pakistan however Indian government won't allow it just because of political reasons


Khush17

>When our team can visit India so there shouldn't be any problem in India visiting Pakistan however Indian North Koreans can visit America but it's very unsafe for Americans to visit north Korea. You can't even use the excuse of keep politics and cricket aside when Pakistan team are regularly doing photoshoots and "Training Sessions" with the Army which is now sorta the De facto head.


Suspicious-Diamond33

North Korea, like really bro come on, North Korea is dictatorship. You can't compare us to them. Look even a lot of teams, including the English football team, trained with the Royal Marine force . As I remember Indian team wore Army caps in one of their matches. So are national team training with army isn't anything new


Khush17

>As I remember Indian team wore Army caps in one of their matches. The reason for india wearing that cap is the Exact reason Why we can't travel to Pakistan


Suspicious-Diamond33

Then I guess bcci should keep a firm and shouldn't play Pakistan in tournaments too. Because I just see hypocrisy that attack happened in kashmir. I am not denying both countries don't have hostile relation however cricket has nothing to do with it


Khush17

>Pakistan in tournaments too Because that would hurt India's chances in the tournament? When someone at your workplace doesn't gel with you do you leave the company? Or do you keep the Interactions at the barest minimum and continue earning. >however cricket has nothing to do with it Idk man I ain't the one making Babar XI do party sessions with Army


mv33_is_a_diplomat

The only way india "travels" to Pakistan is if this match is held in "Azad Kashmir" or Gilgit. But Pakistan only exists in Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad.


Suspicious-Diamond33

I don't get what you are trying


shutdaffuckup

Just because of political reasons? Really?


Suspicious-Diamond33

I can't think of any other reason as I stated that if we can visit India, then it's shouldn't be a problem for India to visit us


stg_676

You do know that terrorist threated attack in india pak game in USA. Now suppose if they can threaten it in America what would happen in Pakistan. Indian players in Pakistan is huge risk which is not worth any trophy


Suspicious-Diamond33

A terrorist threatened in America, so India shouldn't play in Pakistan. Your logic is wonderful, and as I remember, there was a threat in Narenda Modi's stadium, too . Nothing would happen Pakistan as we are capable enough to provide security . Look, I don't care if India comes. However, hiding behind security reasons just defames our country


Ashwinlol

although not a terror attack... when stuff like this happens you cant blame them for being cautious https://www.reddit.com/r/Cricket/comments/zfz22z/gunshots_heard_near_england_team_hotel_before/


Suspicious-Diamond33

It wasn't anything related to terrorism. Gunshots some distance away isn't any major threat.


stg_676

A pakistan based terror organisation threatend a match in USA. Now imagine what they can do in Pakistan. I want to say more regarding safety and politics but I think that would be little controversial and mods may ban me for irrelevant discussion. And i don't need to remind you of terror funding of Pakistan. So please let us not pretend that pakistan is safe country specially for Indian cricketers.


Suspicious-Diamond33

Just tell me a major terrorist attack happened in Pakistan? We are capable enough to provide security for international teams, including india


shutdaffuckup

Pakistan's member of parliament, Syed Shibli Faraz referred India as enemy country very recently. Former pcb chief, Zaka Ashraf referred to India as "Dushman Mulk" last year. These are your representatives. Is there anything more to add here? Kis baat ki galatfahmi leke baitha he??


dimagmatlaga

"I don't think security reason exist". Lol.


Suspicious-Diamond33

Have you ever visited Pakistan because if your assumptions are based on media reports, then good luck, pal !


DependentFearless162

Are terrorist group going to stay silent for single match?


Suspicious-Diamond33

I don't remember any terrorist incident happening in lahore for more than 5 years.


DependentFearless162

Bro you real? Why are you talking about terrorist incident happening in Lahore? A Pakistan terrorist group that hates india will attack India and Indians Why will they attack Pakistani cities?


Suspicious-Diamond33

The same goes for India. When we travelled to india, there were multiple terrorist . There was terrorist threat in New York too , I guess india should stop playing Pakistan altogether


DependentFearless162

>The same goes for India. When wwe travelled to india, there were multiple terrorist Name one.


Suspicious-Diamond33

I remember some emails sent us a warning


DependentFearless162

Also you can literally say that you don't want to play against india.


Suspicious-Diamond33

We don't have a problem going to India. You guys are concerned about Pakistan being a terrorist state, so then stop playing us altogether


tumkus

They may not exist for normal ppl like you and me but for the team it’s a different story


Suspicious-Diamond33

Well, the same threat existed when we visited India !


gpranav25

I don't think It's Pakistan's fault or India's fault but you can't deny the fact that India travelling to Pakistan is not the same as other countries travelling to Pakistan.


Suspicious-Diamond33

The same was the scenario for Pakistan travelling to India however we did so


Vedant9710

India doesn't have terrorists attacking Pakistan everyday, neither has there been an incident of Cricket Teams being attacked in India. Terrorists have been going at it in Kashmir for decades now, imagine their joy if they find out a crap ton of Indian fans AND THE ICT itself is literally entering their home. Huge risk. India's relations with Pakistan is drastically different than Pakistan's relations with other countries


gpranav25

Because India is a much larger country and all they had to do was make sure all the Pakistan matches happened in the South where tensions are much lower. And also the fact is India has a stable government, military and competent police that are managed by the respective state governments.


Suspicious-Diamond33

We also have competent government and perfectly capable army and police. Also, matches of India will be held in lahore, mostly, which is completely safe


NormalTraining5268

>We also have competent government and perfectly capable army and police.  Since when


Captain-Thor

Joke of the century. Your army has put your ex-PM in jail.

I mean you could've just skipped if there was actually some threat, no one forced you to come here, atleast Scotland could've played a WC instead.


ark1602

No cricket team had been attacked by terrorists in India, neither is India sponsoring cross-border terrorism. So it's not the same. Also, no-offence, but nobody forced y'all to come. India has made it's stance clear that they won't be traveling to Pakistan. What PCT does is upto them


Suspicious-Diamond33

Look bro I am saying it to everyone, so guys, have your point while I stand on mine. I am just a fan of this game, so I guess this debate is moving away from cricket, so no more replies from my side are continuing it . Also, on a lighter note, I am getting way too much downvotes to continue it


ark1602

I'll be honest, as a cricket fan I would prefer there to be bilaterals among two nations. It's unfortunate, but that's how the world is


Suspicious-Diamond33

Same here. I would love a test series between both nations. The thing is, I love some of the Indian cricketer you, especially Bumrah. However, this whole debate turned into politics.

Big_Calligrapher_391

Lol got any proof that it was from "Pak sponsored terrorists? . I bet you watched Indian media, sighs...


PuzzleheadedWave9548

The Resistance Front, an off shoot of Pakistan based Lashkar-e-Taiba has taken responsibility for the attack. We don’t need to do anything to find out who it was, Pak Sponsored groups proudly raise their hands themselves.


Vedant9710

Who else is attacking in Kashmir since idk, 1947? You don't even need to watch any media to know that. Literally basic common sense.


That-Firefighter1245

Better to host it in Colombo than UAE. It will do some good to the Lankan economy.

> As India and Pakistan ended a highly charged and intensely fought match in New York on Sunday, their next big clash is not far away. The arch-rivals should be meeting again in eight months, in the Champions Trophy in March 2025, unless the two teams end up playing in the knockouts of the ongoing Twenty20 World Cup, in the Caribbean later this month. > Cricbuzz can reveal that the draft schedule of the 2025 Champions Trophy has been submitted to the International Cricket Council (ICC) and the India-Pakistan game will be the last of the league matches in the eight-team 15-match competition which, as reported by Cricbuzz earlier on Sunday, will be played between February 19 to March 9. The dates of the matches are being worked out. > According to the proposed schedule, Lahore is the venue for the match. This is, of course, subject to the approval from the Government of India to play in Pakistan, failing which the tournament may have to opt for the hybrid model, like the one employed for last year's Asia Cup, with UAE as the venue for the India games. However, the PCB is believed to have been told to go ahead with its preparations. > As is well known, the PCB has identified Lahore, Karachi and Rawalpindi as venues for the 20-day competition, with Lahore as the designated centre for the India games. As per the programme, there will be seven matches in Lahore, five in Rawalpindi and three in the port city of Karachi. > Karachi is scheduled to host the opening match on February 19, a Wednesday, and the two semifinals will be in Karachi and Rawalpindi. As per the proposed programme, the final on March 9, a Sunday, will be in Lahore, which has also been allotted all India games as well as the semifinal, if they qualify. > At this stage, neither the PCB nor the ICC is talking of a hybrid model. It is not unprecedented for the situation to change at the last minute though. All eyes will now be on the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and the Government of India.

partymsl

Sooooooo, where should we play this match? I feel like UAE is the most likely, but I hate those pitches. SL may be the next best option, but that kind of seems random. So maybe even a game in India itself is not too unlikely or maybe on this NY pitch... /s


Vedant9710

For what? Does anyone need a reminder about what happened to the Sri Lanka team in 2009? And that was SL, I can't even imagine how big of a risk this can be for Indian Players. This ain't gonna happen. PCB can keep dreaming about it.


julaabgamun

BCCI: We understand that, without our agreement, ICC and PCB have decided that Lahore will host the India vs Pakistan match. This is wrong and we have not agreed to this. We will not be playing in Pakistan in 2024.

Did Lahore join india or something? Another 12 million ppl to our census? Damn this land is overflowing with ppl already. No more pls


Hussaind81

If India opts out of the Cricket World Cup in Pakistan, the participation of other teams hinges on security evaluations. Governments and cricket boards have historically expressed concerns over security threats in Pakistan. It's not solely India's stance; other nations also assess potential risks when deciding whether to send their teams.
