Another team might replace Pakistan at World T20

[Pakistani till death]

there are about 400 Pakistani Athletes in India as we speak now, if those elements want to ruin the peace process they've better chance now and a chance to ruin Pakistan coming to India for T20 or Asian cup. the thing here is not security but Pakistan mixing Politics with sports for their own gains



yep they'll there... another team might be Kenya, Namibia and UAE as they're not playing this world cup

Hahaha indians talking about mixing politics with sports .Pakistani athletes and the south asian games are no major event unlike the t20 world cup. An attack on the cricket team would be hugely symbolic for hindutva thugs!

If Pakistan has genuine security concerns, It should not send it's team to India.

Is we have genuine concerns then why not ICC change the venue to neutral country like UAE or Sri Lanka.

Last time our wining blind cricket team captain was given acid for drink, we should highlight security issue and put pressure on ICC to change the venue.

 

[Ghazwa e Hind]

Even ICC's Pakistani Empires cannot go to India. I don't think we have any reason to send team in that hostile land.

You are more than welcome to do so. Who is stopping you? even better move the event to Pakistan.

Not at the moment because there are proxies working against us, it is better to move the event in U.A.E or Sri Lanka. Another point is ISIS growing influence in India might target cricketers so it is better to move the event in peaceful venue. More on above Shiv Sena and RSS will protest hard, i have many references where they interrupt the events like PCB meeting with Indian officials called of because of heavy protest, even they damaged the world cup trophy won by India.

ndian right-wing political party Shiv Sena is known for its hard stand and extremism over issues pertaining to Pakistan. Over the years, the party has used arm-twisting tactics and at times even compelled the governments to do away with any collaboration with Pakistani artists, sportspersons, writers and others. In a recent act, the party forced the organisers to cancel Pakistani ghazal singer Ghulam Ali’s concert in Mumbai on October 9. Few days back, it also splattered black paint on columnist Sudheendra Kulkarni’s face for hosting the book-launch function of former Pakistan foreign minister Khurshid Mahmud Kasuri’s book in Mumbai.
he party also has an ugly history with India-Pakistan cricket ties, as it has on multiple occasions thwarted attempts for cricket matches between the two nations. On Monday, the party forced cancellation of a meeting scheduled between Indian and Pakistan cricket board officials as its members stormed the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) headquarters to protest the meeting. Chinmay Jawalekar takes a look at 13 such instances from the history when Shiv Sena has protested cricket ties with the neighbouring country.

1. Dug the Wankhede strip in October 1991: The members of Shiv Sena, who are also known as the Shiv Sainiks, dug up the Wankhede Stadium strip in Mumbai in order to prevent Pakistan from playing in the city. Not only the Mumbai Test, but the entire series got cancelled in the aftermath of the incident.

2. Got the possible India-Pakistan Test in Mumbai cancelled in 1998: In the year 1998, when the Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP)–Shiv Sena coalition government ruled the Indian state of Maharashtra, the latter flexed its muscle to get a possible India-Pakistan Test to be played in January 1999 in Mumbai cancelled. The BJP was unhappy with the development and its leader, the late Gopinath Munde, who was the then Deputy Chief Minister of the state, also expressed his displeasure. But the Chief Minister Manohar Joshi, who belonged to Shiv Sena, cancelled the match at the behest of his party supremo Balasaheb Thackeray.

3. Dug the Ferozshah Kotla pitch in 1999: The Shiv Sainiks dug up the pitch of the Ferozshah Kotla Stadium in Delhi ahead of Pakistan’s cricket tour of 1999. The incident came after the party had protested a Test match in Mumbai and had eventually got it cancelled. The BCCI and the local administration however decided to go ahead with the Delhi Test. The party later threatened that they would release venomous snakes in the outfield during the match. Taking precautions, the BCCI beefed up the security by unleashing a group of twenty-odd best snake-charmers of Delhi inside the Stadium. The match was eventually conducted in a smooth manner and is best remembered for former Indian spinner Anil Kumble’s record 10-wicket haul in the second innings.

Threatened to disrupt Pakistan’s games in ICC Champions Trophy in 2006: After the Mumbai serial train blasts in July 2006, Shiv Sena warned that it will stage protests and disrupt the ICC Champions Trophy matches featuring Pakistan in Jaipur and Mohali.

9. Opposed participation of Pakistani players in the IPL in 2009: Shiv Sena executive president Uddhav Thackeray in 2009 demanded that no Pakistani player should be permitted to play in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2.

10. Targeted Shah Rukh Khan in 2010: In 2010, the right-wing party targeted Bollywood actor and superstar Shah Rukh Khan for speaking against exclusion of Pakistani cricketers in the IPL. The party even threatened to disrupt screenings of his movie My Name is Khan.

Got the board officials’ meeting cancelled in 2015: On October 19, 2015, ahead of Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chief Shahryar Khan’s scheduled meeting with new BCCI President Shashank Manohar on a possible bilateral series, Shiv Sainiks stormed the board’s headquarters at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai and protested strongly demanding the cancellation of the meeting, which eventually got cancelled. In a later development, the talks were shifted to Delhi and were scheduled to happen there on October 20.

Or BCCI can offer all Pakistan games to be Played in West Bengal, Given Mamta Banerjee government's orientation, Pakistan might almost have a home ground advantage.

In that case clashes can be happen between BJP and Mamta Banerjee's supporters.

Shouldn't the rest of the world have similar reservations about security. Anyways, Pakistan and PCB is more than welcome to take it's position on the issue... you can lobby with ICC to move the location, or boycott the games. I am fine either ways.

PCB has genuine concerns, but BCCI has promised strict security. Pakistan will play, period.

 

[ganesh623]

It was all indian drama, PCB was ready to play.
And what happened to the character of whole india, when modi use to say that we will isolate pakistan and will only talk on terror and then came unannouced and uninvited to Pakistan.

Its upto pakistan to play or not play.india got nothing to do with it.

We still only talk on terror. And keep working on it. Dont you see how david headley is daily ripping pakistan apart ?
And modi did not came uninvited. He was invited by nawaz shariff when modi called him for wishes.
