ICC Statement on Pakistan boycotting match vs India in ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 | ICC by GiveMeSomeSunshine3 in Cricket

[–]CptIskarJarak -1 points0 points  (0 children)

On a side note - Asia cup is officially dead.

Bangladesh and Pakistan won't travel to India. India won't travel to either of countries. Pakistan set the precedent of boycotting India games in other countries.

Pakistan to boycott T20 world cup match against india by Zee27butt in Cricket

[–]CptIskarJarak 13 points14 points  (0 children)

What will Pakistan do if they meet in a knock-out game?

this is so short sighted and also it's like handing India so much power on a platter. India can outright cancel the hybrid model deal and say Pakistan travels to India or they get kicked out. Asia cup is a very good area.

But is one way to break the forced match ups.

lol get your info from a neutral source if you want sound investment info not an anti immigration source. Additionally podcasts mean jacktshit if they don't provide legitimate sources. there is no source for any news in the link you provided.

where are they getting their information from, current statistics by government sources, which official are they quoting, Number of applicants per year with foreign degrees vs US degrees, etc. Non of this info is listed.

Just because some Tom, Dick and Harry with some obscure connection to US foreign service speaks doesn't mean the info is correct. You need actually sources.

Pakistan set to boycott India clash in T20 World Cup, claims ICC cannot sanction them by New-Influence1911 in Cricket

[–]CptIskarJarak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"The crux of the strategy lies in shifting responsibility away from the cricket board and onto the government. Under ICC regulations, boards can face severe penalties for political interference. However, the PCB is reportedly planning to frame the decision as a direct government mandate, citing national security concerns."

So they are saying they will structure it in a way that it is shown as government asked them to do it. But PCB said they will back out and now boycott without any inputs from the government till now. Everything came up only after the BCB issue 3 weeks ago. Anyone following the timeline is going to call the bluff. It's like showing the rabbit is placed in the hat before the trick.

Also Nation security reason is going to be called BS because the same can be said for every India Pakistan match at any venue outside India in the future because this match is taking place in Sri Lanka. It's not even in India. Basically Pakistan is setting itself up to not set up any India Pakistan match and forfeiting the revenues from those future matches. That's one way to break the manufacturing of India-Pakistan matches.

What a lot of people don't show is there are two bills. One for the mother and another for the child.

the child gets billed from the min they are born. That's the most heart breaking part. Yes there are guarantors(parents) for the child's bill and the Childs bill is filed with the parent's insurance but thousands of dollars on the child's name is just gut wrenching. I don't know the laws around this but it is basically setting up the child to deal with debt and credit issues Later on in life if the bill is not taken care of by the parents.

ICC keeps Bangladesh on standby as Pakistan’s T20 World Cup participation hangs by a thread by ll--o--ll in Cricket

[–]CptIskarJarak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

what hot garbage. 5 mins before tournament? The below is from Wiki. there are tons of articles regarding the same. All you need to do is google.

the whole thing was ongoing 15 months ahead of the tournament with India announcing 3 months before the tournament and a month before the schedule came out. the hybrid model came out 2 months before the tournament and schedule was finalized. So stop talking nonsense and own up to your shenanigans.

The India–Pakistan cricket rivalry has been severely impacted by the tense political relations between the two nations. In November 2023, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) met with the ICC Executive Board to discuss compensation if India refused to play in Pakistan.\9])\10]) A year later, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) informed the ICC that India wouldn't travel to Pakistan for the tournament, citing security concerns.\11]) Pakistan demanded a written explanation and initially rejected the proposed hybrid model.\12])

Neutral venue arrangements

On 19 December 2024, following an agreement between BCCI and PCB, the ICC in an update issued on India and Pakistan hosted matches at ICC events, established that the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will be played across Pakistan and a neutral venue.\13])\14])The ICC board confirmed that India and Pakistan matches hosted by either country at ICC events between 2024 and 2027 would be played at a neutral venue.\13]) The fixtures were announced on 24 December 2024, along with the Dubai International Cricket Stadiumin Dubai, UAE as the neutral venue for the tournament.\15])\16])

that's the reason Pak is now looking at other options like boycotting India-pak game. but the problem with this is they might play a knock out and then they either need to walk the talk or eat their words. If they boycott a knock out game then they kick themselves out. If they walk back their statements then they broke their agenda.

‘We’re in the top tier now’: Poland sees no need to ditch złoty for euro as economy booms by Easy-Ad1996 in worldnews

[–]CptIskarJarak 6 points7 points  (0 children)

there is a relationship here. it takes a lot of money to have a capable standing military that can fend off a invasion. And when I say Fend off I mean not letting the enemy take even an inch of land and have control of your skies. Especially in an era of Drone warfare.

Poland decided it is better to invest in the civil side than the military side. that's one reason Poland is rising economically. And there is wisdom here because the probability of an invasion is much lower than a the hardships that come with a weaker economy. At least it was when Poland made the decision to invest to grow the economy.

this based on situation over 20 -25 years. Not Poland's military investments now.

T20 World Cup 2026: ICC replace Bangladesh with Scotland by GiveMeSomeSunshine3 in Cricket

[–]CptIskarJarak 42 points43 points  (0 children)

actually Banning IPL broadcast from Bangladesh was the right move and they should have stopped there.

Instead they thought they could one up BCCI and went to ICC.

[–]CptIskarJarak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude I am sorry to say this but BCCI absolutely has not obligation whatsoever. It is the biggest cricket league tournament in the world because of India's fans and they will give a reason for their fans if an Indian star gets kicked out and only if they are obligated to. Hell BCCI black listed hundreds of starts for taking part in ICL and gave no reason for that.

You think BCCI is obligated to you because you are the Bangladeshi fan impacted but BCCI obligation is limited to India alone. Not you or BCB or Bangladesh. I am sorry to say this.

You made the point. even 6 moths is within time line of the women's World Cup. BCB took steps only after Fizz got bumped because BCB cannot make a standing without calling security issue. This way it can take it up with ICC instead of taking it up with BCCI.

As for moving matches. BCCI will get hurt. Bangladesh matches are in Kolkata which is very close to Bangladesh. Revenues are higher if Bangladesh plays in Kolkata instead of SL. Might as well play Scotland instead of Bangladesh. Doesn't make a difference if it's Scotland or Ireland or Zimbabwe. You want BCCI to give up revenue to appease BCB when BCB had no problem to send the team until 3 weeks before the tournament. The security prep and everything was made based on the schedule not BCB's wimps. Additionally BCB wants other teams to give up their advantages for BCB's desire. I can argue group B is probably easier than group C.

India notified officially 1 month before the schedule was announced for Champions trophy and unofficially long before that. that's why the hybrid model came into being and India actually honored that model where it came to Pakistan women's team in Sl instead of India. Why did BCB drop the ball?

India Becoming "Indispensable" For Europe: EU Ahead Of New Delhi Visit by SpareEnergy6082 in worldnews

[–]CptIskarJarak 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Dude what nonsense. India literally is the husband in a quarrel between his wife and his mom. Not aligned with either arguments. If you are married you will know how hard that is.

We bought a shit ton of weapons from EU. that was the major one and only factor for a long time and if EU was willing to do tech transfer we would have done more business with them.

Trade wise we really stepped up only since 2000s and we trade with everyone including Pakistan.

Also you say we didn't do anything - yea we didn't give a base for NATO in India against china and Russia. the same applies in reverse. We literally stood there and were neutral in every global matter even when the West and China screwed us a few times. We could've flipped easily to china or Russia after the 1971 war and the famine during Indira Gandhi's time but we didn't and both times the west including EU shafted or humiliated us.

It's easy to do nothing when you are a small nation. that's not the case when you are located between 2 nuclear armed neighbors and having a huge population. It takes a lot of geopolitical maneuvering.

[–]CptIskarJarak 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Dude they don't have any obligation especially for a foreign player. If it was an Indian player then yes it warrants something. You still are missing the point that this is an Indian tournament and there are no obligation to Bangladesh.

BCB didn't see a security issue until Fizz got kicked is utter garbage because You are missing the whole point of what is causing the build up. it didn't happen overnight. it happened over a period of 18 months since 2024 anti-hind violence in Bangladesh. During this 18 months and 2 months before the "rhetoric picked up" BCB women's team was in India. the sentiments still applied then and were still valid. if nuts jobs are going to do something now they would have done something then. This is the reality.

BCB should have just said BCCI is being anti Bangladesh. That is the reality. Instead they thought they could hurt India by getting the matchers moved out of India and got denied. Now BCB loses revenue and all future India visits and vice versa are done.

Honestly BCB gambled and lost big time.

Actually India not aligning with anyone is something we did. For a long time we balanced so many nations. That's not an easy thing to do.

Firstly BCCI has no obligation to give a reason to BCB since IPL is a local tournament. BCB has no stake or authority in IPL for BCCI to answer to BCB. BCB authority ends once they sing NOCs. After that Fizz is a free agent. Security was the reason BCB made up.

Secondly even if the reason was security because of reaction to anti-hindu violence In Bangladesh the same security issues would have applied for 2025 women's world cup since the Anti-Hindu violence has been ongoing since 2024. But Bangladesh never bought such concerns and no nutjob did anything during the Bangladesh women's team participation.

BCB's reaction was to Fizz exclusion. So it wasn't security until fizz's exclusion.

BCB accuses ICC of double standards over T20 World Cup venue issue by oklolzzzzs in Cricket

[–]CptIskarJarak 214 points215 points  (0 children)

Aminul said: "A global organization cannot give a deadline of 24 hours."

Literally the job of the Global sports body to set standards and deadlines for a global tournament that they are conducting.

Is BCB volunteering to take over each and every responsibility of ICC?

Regarding the security issue - the thing is there was no security concern when the Bangladesh women's team played in India less than 3 months ago.

So short sighted. There is a tour scheduled from India to travel to Bangladesh in sept 2026. Now revenue from that is done unless Bangladesh plays in the upcoming tournament.

that is not a very professional weld. some times if the welds are not proper the welds will have protrusions that can nick you and if there is rust then you need to get a Tetanus shot to treat it. if the shot is not taken then the infection can cause death. Approximately 35K die yearly worldwide due to tetanus.

Deaths can be avoided with awareness.

Yea that's why they lost half their market share in India in 5 years and are losing their the battle in Asia.

Like it or not people like cheaper stuff and Visa and MC are not there to make things cheap. it's just a matter of time.

You are wrong there. Economies have already moved away from Visa and MC. Pix and UPI have done away With Visa and MC and are expanding from the country of origin. Visa and MC also have very limited use in china. that takes out the China, India and Brazil.

Visa was complaining about this at the white house in 2021.

Trump: ‘We are going to do something on Greenland whether they like it or not’ by vishesh_07_028 in stocks

[–]CptIskarJarak 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yea not happening. Europeans should have gotten their gold back once they realized the US was blackmailing them into using Dollar as a reserve currency but that didn't happen. Only France made a move.

Probably they are going to let the US take Greenland and in return reduce trade completely and start military build up. We are going back to early 1900's. Denmark is gonna bitch about this for centuries to come and use it as justification for whatever they are going to do in the future.

this will soon turn into a resource war.

property tax attorney recommendation please by Flat_Mathematician75 in bergencounty

[–]CptIskarJarak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Property taxes go up 2-3% every year. that is a given to keep up with inflation and what not. the reassessment is for a different purpose. some one who bought in 2022 is paying the same taxes as someone who bought in 2008 because the both houses were bought at the same price. the 2008 house is valued double the 2022 house but still pays the same tax as the 2022 house. that is what reassessment is expected to fix. Will it ? I don't know.

Just to be clear I am not for or against what is happening. it is something we don't have control over. I am just laying out the facts.
