Pakistan bids to host Cricket World Cup 2018

:raise: Guys are you sure cricket world cup will be 2018 ? :undecided: last world cup was in 2011, so next world cup will be in 2015 and then in 2019. i am really confused now :undecided:

so add another year after 6 years why not :)
 
The WC is 5 years away, if S.Africa can host FIFA worldcup,Pakistan can host the world cup too,the security climate is not going to last for ever. I don't know what practicality you are talking about.

Under PTI Government 2018 Cricket World Cup is possible and we would be glad if Pakistan/Sri Lanka/U.A.E avenues are chosen. Did you guys ever thought why No GOP and PCB ever tried to elect and chose or ask IK to lead PCB that is because of they are corrupt to the core, mark my words all these idiots in PCB are going to runaway if PTI comes to power.

My personal opinion is a couple of years before world cup Pakistan should organize some sort of international cricket championship cup to send positive message.
 
Last world Cup was in Indian Subcontinent . So this time ICC wont be keen to host here . Compound this thing with "Security Issues" and the goal looks unrealistic but no harm in trying . Who knows they might get it .

2015 world cup is in Austraila and New Zealand.

2018/2019 world cup either in Asia/Europe/West Indies Caribbeans. If its not going to be Asia than its going to be England definitely.

PCB should request ICC to send a World XI team comprising of Indian, English, Aus & SAF(active and not retired) players to play a 2 match series in Pakistan. Nothing better to get the trust of world cricket community and sponsors back.

No I would fairly like to see regular standard International Teams our objective is to win the bid for cricket world cup in Asia and most or 50% games in Pakistan.

But tht will happen after u build trust among cricket boards that its safe to play cricket in Pakistan na ? Thinking of taking step 2 before step 1 often makes one tumble
 
Pakistanis are adament @agamdilawari that the situation will improve one day in Pakistan and the terror threat will be eliminated. In Pakistan the difference is that no matter how difficult it is we still go after the terrorists and fight them despite the consequences. In India no one touches the right wing saffron groups which are free to operate. We are suffering massive consequences of terrorism including many innocents framed on false charges but despite this we are fighting and doing our best to deal with the Islamic terrorists.

The difference is that in India even the so called right wing saffron groups don't go around carrying AK47s n bombing civilians as well as military camps every now n then.

N with reports coming out about US-Pak deal about not using drones on India specific *** militant camps, one could clearly see the dedication of Pak Army to eradicate terrorism.:agree:

Its the T20 WORLD CUP

The hosts will be decided next year where its being arranged in Bangladesh. Tbh, I dont see Pakistan getting the rights, the security sitation need to improve drastically in the next months, BUT we should never give up.

We will eventually overcome this difficult time and being positive and try is good. Try until you win, never ever give up.
 
I seriously hope that ICC grants Pakistan to conduct the world cup so that I get an excuse to visit Pakistan and taste the food of Lahore ;)
 
With 16000+ posts by now you should know HINDUstani mind inside out, don't waste your time on scums who no one pays attention to even in their own shithole, that is why they come over at PDF to spread their ****** stink

You took me for overwhelming modesty :P
 
Pakistan offers to host 2019 World Cup qualifiers

LAHORE: Pakistan's cricket chief said Thursday he had offered to host qualifiers for the 2019 World Cup despite a four-year suspension of international cricket in the country over security fears.

Pakistan has not staged any top-level cricket since militants attacked the Sri Lankan team in Lahore in March 2009, killing eight people and wounding seven visiting players.

Foreign teams have shunned tours to the troubled country over security fears, forcing the International Cricket Council (ICC) to shift Pakistan's share of matches for the World Cup in 2011.

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Zaka Ashraf said he wanted the world to gauge the security situation in Pakistan. "We have requested that the World Cup qualifiers 2018 should be given to us so that everyone can evaluate the security situation," Ashraf told reporters.
The 2019 World Cup will be held in England.

Ashraf claimed the ICC had given a commitment to assess the security situation when the time comes and "will decide accordingly".

Ashraf's efforts to revive international cricket in Pakistan have been so far futile. Lowly ranked Bangladesh twice refused to tour over security fears last year, after initially agreeing for a short limited over series. "Most of the countries are reluctant when they hear the name of Pakistan, especially after the Bangladesh ran away. They think when Bangladesh did not come, how could they tour," said Ashraf.
Pakistan last year managed to host an International World XI comprising mostly of retired players from Sri Lanka, South Africa and the West Indies, but the short series failed to restore the confidence of international teams.(AFP)
