I am glad that the ISI has reined in on the TTP, splintering them badly, & letting them kill themselves (the TTP-Afridi faction & the LeI) off in their turf wars (in Tirah & other locations); & the LeI (getting killed by the local Lashkars); both foreign proxies. As of now, the tribes have...

The tour would have become a legal issue, if the BD government, the BCB had sent the team to tour Pakistan; without the security team giving clearance on the security arrangements by Pakistan. In that case, it would not be a legal issue because of the tour itself, but because of the actions of...

The court gets involved in legal issues. Not restricted to land disputes, murder cases etc. Cricket tours are not legal issues, & not for the court to decide.

Attacks take place in Afghanistan, for which the Haqqani Network is blamed by the US/NATO Forces. A couple of days later, the TTP, an enemy of the Pakistani state, starts attacking the Haqqani Network. If the Haqqani Network is a proxy of the ISI, this report guarantees that the TTP is a proxy...

You still haven't answered my question.

When did cricket tours become legal issues?

It was the result of a petition filed by a university teacher, & then the courts decided Pakistan wasn't safe, considering the fact that clearance had been given by the team BCB, sent to rigorously assess the security arrangements of Pakistan.

You were the one that was interested in finding out. Let all decisions for cricket tours be made in the Bangladeshi courts, it is a truly and purely a "legal" matter, with NO politics at all!

You should ask the PCB officials. Maybe they were too busy partying & less time working, or whatever.

WI, UAE, South Africa have not been invited by the PCB in 2012 to tour Pakistan (now that the security situation in the country has improved significantly)... Bangladesh have. Good attempt at trolling though. Secondly, we all know that politics has become a part of cricket, considering the...

These Bangladeshis know that the AL & the AL inspired politics running in their country in all fields of life is not representative of the sentiments of the whole (or even the majority of the) population.

Pakistanis were actually sympathetic (as you can read from the comments on the picture) to the little midgets when they lost & started crying:

I can't believe I actually sympathized with the crying midgets when they lost the Asia Cup final against Pakistan in Dhaka. The tour did not require clearance from the ICC, & the BCB had already confirmed the tour, clearing the security arrangements.

The BCB has gone from getting clearance from their security team (which they gave), to getting clearance from the ICC (which wasn't needed for the tour to go ahead), to getting clearance from the PM of Bangladesh (who had no objections), to now getting clearance from the courts (this is SURELY a...

I think all cricket tours must be approved by the Bangladeshi courts now before they can go ahead. Definitely NO politics involved there, especially when the petition is filed by a university teacher!

I guess we've exposed the hollow claims of the Bengalis & the Bharatis here. I am not concerned if Bangladesh come or not, let the little midgets go to India or where ever, & get their rear ends handed to them. They are a minnow team with a minnow mentality, belonging to a minnow nation, one of...

Another interesting thing is, the security arrangements were pretty dandy (the BCB sent a team to rigorously assess the security arrangements in Lahore months ago, & gave their clearance) a few days ago, till a petition was filed in court by a university teacher saying otherwise: Now I am sure...

It was at the gates 8 and 12, & technically, the gate of the stadium is part of the stadium as well.

It was AT the gates of the stadium: The Hindu : Cities / Bangalore : 17 injured in blasts outside Bangalore cricket stadium

It was at the Bangalore cricket stadium, on gate number 8, gate number 11 and gate number 12 of the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore. It injured the cricket fans that had seen to gone the IPL game. Interpret that whatever way you want.
